Self-Care Isn’t Selfish — It’s Giving: 5...

Jessika Brown- Registered Dietitian, Empowered Eating Coach, Intuitive Eating Mentor, Boy Mom

About this episode

You’ve heard it before — “self-care isn’t selfish” — but let’s take it further: self-care is giving. Giving your body what it needs. Giving yourself permission to rest, eat, move, and show up without apology. In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 steps to Empowered Eating, including how to stop shrinking yourself (literally and figuratively) and start owning your space like the queen you are. If you’ve ever felt like nutrition had to come with punishment, pressure, or perfection... this one’s for you.
