Thank you for this valuable interview with Erica. this podcast is so timely for me personally as I am newly diagnosed with cancer and an intuitive eating counselor. So much of her discussion resonated with me. Keep doing this amazing work!!!
This podcast is the most genuine intuitive eating podcast I’ve found. I love the humanness Leah brings to the work. Highly recommend this show for anyone on a journey to leave diet culture.
Leah is a thoughtful and engaging host who is able to connect with her guests and listeners in a meaningful way. Add shoulders down to your podcast rotation!
Leah’s knowledge of intuitive eating and nutrition is a powerhouse. I learn so much every time I listen, and the message is so important and necessary in a world where diet culture is very loud. Leah is especially talented at coaching and I love listening to her live coach. She brings passion, curiosity, and gentleness to her work. She’s meant for this work. Thank you for the wonderful content.
Thank you Leah!! The “why I’m leaving Instagram” episode is one of the most validating podcast episodes I’ve listened to in a long time.. so many “aha” moments where you put eloquent words to how I’ve also been feeling for some time. Especially love the connection with trusting your body cues when it comes to social media similarly to how you would with IE. Best of luck on your offline journey 🩵
