Overcoming Anorexia, Binge Eating Disord...

HARRIET FREW
About this episode

Today I’m talking to Victoria Kleinsman – a Brit living her best life in the Netherlands. Victoria is a food freedom & body love coach, inspirational speaker, podcast host, and writer. She is certified in psychology, spirituality and the science of nutrition and is also inspired greatly in her work, by her own personal experience and walking a tumultuous recovery journey herself.

Victoria has overcome anorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia and an abusive relationship. She struggled for over 20 years with poor body image and disordered eating. But today, Victoria eats whatever she wants, when she wants, in any amount that she wants. She makes food choices from a place of nourishment and pleasure. She is healthy, confident and knows her worth. Her self-love is overflowing from within and she has, as she describes, ‘oodles to give others’.

When talking to Victoria, I was absolutely struck by her openness and vulnerability in sharing, and also the level of transformation that she has undergone - from being completely food obsessed and self-loathing of her body; in the depths of despair with her self-esteem on the floor, to finding genuine peace with food; body love and a deep sense of worth and self-love. This is a truly inspiring and uplifting conversation to provide hope for what is possible in recovery. I hope that you enjoy it.
