  • Towards food freedom

    I learn so much about how to care for myself from these extremely knowledgeable and lively ladies. I have been learning to talk to myself differently about "the food."No more shaming and blaming myself. I'm on the road to a better life, where I learn to take care of myself, my stress and my fears, with more tools than just using food to cope. These episodes fill my wellness cup.

  • Nuances, baby!

    Unpretentious relatable series with heart, humor and intelligence. Thank you for offering an alternative to the echochambers of “it’s all food addiction”, “it’all eating disorders”, “it’s all mental health” or even “it’s all metabolic health”.

    Your effort is much appreciated❣️
