Episode Details

This episode is part two of my conversation with anti‑diet health and life coach Sherry Shaban, and yes, we’re still poking holes in everything diet culture has been screaming at us for years. Sherry recaps her journey from a brutal back injury at 16, to hard partying, to obsessive fitness, and finally to building a much healthier relationship with food and her body.
