Today I chat with my former coaching client Aga about her journey recovering from an eating disorder and improving her body image. Aga shares openly about her struggles with feeling fat, food guilt, and low self-worth, and how coaching helped her shift to intuitive eating, self-love, and living more aligned with her values.
Key Discussion Points:
- Aga's history with an eating disorder that stemmed from childhood trauma and using restriction to "disappear"
- Her daily battles with body image, feelings of fatness and shame around eating
- The impact of the eating disorder on her social life and relationships
- Trying therapy and realising she needed specialised support
- Deciding to invest in coaching and the self-discovery work she did
- Shifts towards body neutrality, intuitive eating, increased self-worth
- The power of group coaching calls in realising you're not alone
Guest Bio: Aga lives in Barcelona and works as an agile coach. She struggled with an eating disorder and severe body image issues for years before discovering Victoria's coaching.
