⊹ ⊹ How did I find balance + redefine a lifelong toxic relationship with food and my body? ⊹ ⊹

The truth is, food freedom came to me after years of hard work on myself and my connection to my spiritual practice, loving myself, and opening my heart. I cannot stress enough how much my life has elevated and shifted since I have gotten to this place of intuition and freedom from guilt and shame around food, and I wish the same for everyone with similar struggles.

Trust that my intuition is strong enough at this point to guide me with discernment to make healthy choices.
