How To Achieve Food Freedom + Actually Enjoy the Holidays with Jessi Jean

For my Americans listening, this week’s show is just in time for one of my personal favorite holidays, THANKSGIVING. Obviously since this is the grind & be GRATEFUL podcast, gratitude is super important and I love that it’s so central during this time of year. Sometimes the magic of the holiday season can be overshadowed by our own personal struggles though, particularly around food and exercise. Sometimes we get SO wrapped up in our diet or exercise plan that we lose sight of that magic-- food and body concerns take your focus off of being present, enjoying your loved ones, enjoying the celebrations and the food, and if you are currently like “holy crap, this is me” right now-- if you have spent past holidays worried about eating the right things, or not eating too much, or working off your food-- then this episode is for you. I sat down with my friend Jessi Jean, who is a certified eating psychology and she helps women evolve their relationship with food, ditch dieting, and reclaim their health and happiness in ALL areas in life. And not only is Jessi incredibly knowledgeable and has the credentials to back it up, she has also personally overcome massive struggles with eating disorders, body image, exercise, and self-worth. She is living proof that there is SO much life and freedom on the other side of our struggles with food and body, and I’m really excited for you to hear from her, especially her wisdom and strategies for approaching the holiday season in a balanced, healthy way where stress food and exercise DOESN’T cloud the experience. This conversation really couldn’t have come at a better time! We also chat about the pros and cons of flexible dieting, the best way to manifest your goals that ACTUALLY works, and how to measure progress without using the scale. You're gonna love this one!
