What I did with my Halloween Candy How this Relates to Food Addiction

Episode 136. I’m feeling more called to share things about the food relationship again lately, which has been kind of fun. I talk about this stuff all day every day with many of my 1 on 1 clients, and sometimes I forget that it isn’t second nature to people, since I’ve spent many a year focusing on improving my relationship to food and body for myself.

Today’s episode walks you through what I did with my Halloween candy recently and why. It was also an opportunity to reflect on my business and the Body Respect Program I ran a few years ago.

What to Expect in this Episode

I cover the following:

• Why I felt compelled to share this episode today
• What I did with my Halloween candy this year and why
