  • Overwhelmed and Burnout

    I have been a listener since you’re very first episode way back in 2020 during the pandemic, you offered so much wonderful contact that I ate up, literally during all my solo walks and runs.

I am almost 59 so listening to all of your stories have been a walk down memory lane, but also so much valid excellent content for people in nutrition, journeys motherhood, journeys, pregnancy journeys, etc..

  • Excellent for College Students

    I am a 22 year old recent college graduate, and I can’t thank you both enough for the growth this podcast has instilled within myself. I was inspired to write a review after listening to your recent “closet cleanout” episode which helped me collect 4 bags of clothes I haven’t worn in YEARS that I had been keeping “incase” of a weight/body change. I danced around my room in my underwear trying on literally every article of clothing I owned, discarding anything that didn’t FEEL right even if it “l... more

  • Pro-Recovery, Anti-Diet

    I am so sorry for my initial review written while in deep denial of the severity of my ED. I am currently both in an amazing faith based ED treatment (the first effective treatment I’ve been in in my ~20 of this battle) and after my morning and raving time with God, I find listening to these episodes (from start to finish) so reaffirming. Many a times, I’ll listen while making meals or eating if solo. I know they’ve pivoted over the years and, while I am sure I’ll miss their anti-diet dietitians... more

  • Thank you!

    Thank you for this podcast! I’m a new listener and new to intuitive eating. The latest episode so was informative and interesting. I’m a mom of 2 young toddlers with baby #3 on the way. I would love more content about how to encourage intuitive eating in toddlers/young kids. I was raised with the idea of “you must eat all your dinner before you get dessert” and I’m trying to fight that. But with a toddler who could probably sustain himself on chocolate, cookies, all things sugar, it’s tough. Tha... more
