Relatable, positive and helpful!

There’s an episode here for everyone- for anyone who has struggled with their relationship with food, the number on the scale, listening to your body’s needs, self worth and body positivity. Meg has a way of speaking to that inner voice and inspiring a positive relationship with yourself and your body image. Her personal experience with recovery makes her so relatable! Recently, I experienced that all too common pressure to rapidly shred weight for my wedding. Listening to Meg’s podcast helped me develop healthy habits and a mindset of worthiness and beauty on my wedding day- regardless of my dress size. Thank you Meg! 💕💕

Upbeat and relatable!

Wow! I am overjoyed to have discovered this podcast. As a survivor of an ED myself, but (!) from a time when the medical community did not offer a lot of guidance, community, or recovery support (the early 2000s) this podcast is filling a huge hole. I’ve only listened to a few episodes but am so excited to absorb the kindness and humor, and work with the resources offered through the show. So much gratitude for you and for the upbeat and honest tone of the show. If you ever need a guest I’d love to contribute! ~Sarah

DanLoveToListen ,

Informative and Inspirational

I am a regular listener to Meg’s Full and Thriving podcast and I am amazed at how much I learn each and every episode. You can tell that a lot of thoughtfulness goes into each guest she has on the show, and hearing the perspectives of dietitians, clinicians, and coaches in the field has really helped me grasp the complexity of eating disorders. I would 100% recommend this podcast to someone with an eating disorder, but also to anyone interested in learning more about food, the human body, mental health, or just general wellness. Meg is a rockstar and will put you in a better mood with her positivity and loving spirit!
