BONNIE RONEY
About this episode

Hi Rebel!

In this episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Allie, a past group coaching client of mine. Allie joins us to share her courageous story of reclaiming her life from the exhausting grip of food obsession and the pervasive shame that often accompanies it. With nearly three decades fighting against food guilt and diet culture, Allie's journey through group coaching has led to life-changing transformations in her relationship with food, her work, and her family life.

Allie shares invaluable insights on how to:

  • Reduce obsessive food thoughts
  • Rebuild trust with your body and food
  • And, most importantly, how to nurture a compassionate dialogue with yourself.

Whether you've been struggling with food for a short time or for years, Allie's transformation offers a beacon of hope and practical advice for anyone on a similar path. It's never too late to heal your relationship with food, and this episode will show you how that healing can lead to a truly healthier and happier life beyond the scale.
