Episode Details

“It’s not that the food’s bringing me any emotions. It’s that I’m actually able to feel the emotions of the place that I’m at and the thing that I’m doing.”

How many people in your life really know about your struggles with food? In this episode, I’m talking with Kelsey, a Diet Culture Rebel client, about the food guilt, restriction, and diet culture rules she spent years navigating behind the scenes. She shares what her journey with intuitive eating has looked like and how working with a dietitian has helped her find more flexibility, trust, and enjoyment around food. Her story is a reminder that healing your relationship with food doesn’t have to be perfect, and it starts with one small step at a time.

✅ What You'll Learn:

• How food guilt and restriction can become a cycle that feels difficult to break
• The ways diet culture can influence what we think “healthy eating” should look like
• Why intuitive eating can feel unfamiliar when you’ve spent years following food rules
• How working with a dietitian can support you in creating a different relationship with food
• What it can look like to move toward more neutrality and flexibility with eating
• Why healing your relationship with food doesn’t have to mean doing it perfectly
