Desperately needed

I learn so much from Amanda and Nicole! Their perspectives are powerful in counteracting the fat phobic messages I’m immersed in every day. I am learning to accept and enjoy my today body, and this podcast has been a big part of that.

Love Amanda’s book and now her podcast

I started with the book “Lovely” by Amanda Beck so I sought out an episode here on intuitive eating because her book got me thinking soooooo much!
Her heart comes through the podcast as beautifully as it does in her book! Will be listening more!

Ears & Hearts Opened!

Nicole and Amanda are two voices we all need to hear. They are bringing insight and beauty to love yourself, while not allowing the worlds standard of what is considered acceptable to only stand. This podcast is refreshing on so many levels. Thank you both for this.
