BONNIE RONEY
About this episode

Hey Rebel!

In this episode of the Diet Culture Rebel Podcast, I’m joined by a past client, Kayla, who has such a powerful and inspiring story to share. I loved this conversation because we dive deep into Kayla’s journey from years of dieting and constantly trying to shrink her body, to being inspired by her daughter to heal her relationship with food and find food freedom.

In today's episode, we discuss:

  • The Emotional Toll of Dieting
  • A Wake-Up Call as a Parent
  • Turning Inward to Heal
  • Discovering Intuitive Eating
  • Overcoming Challenges and Finding Freedom

& more!

This episode is filled with raw, honest moments and practical advice that can help anyone who’s struggling with their relationship with food. I’m so excited for you to listen to this vulnerable and uplifting conversation. If you’re looking for hope, inspiration, and guidance on your own journey toward food freedom, this episode is for you.
