Nina, a board-certified health coach and psychology of eating coach, shares her poignant journey through societal pressures and toxic relationships with food. Together, we shine a light on how early influences can shape our body image and self-worth, and we challenge the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by the media.

We also dissect common misconceptions about dieting, emphasizing the importance of nourishing our bodies with the right foods. This conversation delves into the psychological facets of eating, highlighting the power of saying ‘no’ and the necessity of setting healthy boundaries.

We explore the transformative power of self-compassion, inspired by Kristen Neff’s research. Nina’s heartfelt poem, “I talk to my flowers better than I talk to my body,” serves as a poignant reminder to appreciate nature’s beauty and, by extension, our own unique bodies. Join us for heartfelt blessings and words of gratitude as we advocate for body peace and the end of toxic relationships with food.
