212. But What If You Don't Have to Get Rid of Food Guilt?
Over deze podcast
Not dieting? Now what?
Hosted by Sarah Dosanjh (psychotherapist and author) and Stefanie Michele (coach and somatic therapist), Life After Diets explores what it really takes to heal your relationship with food and body image. Through personal stories, professional insights, and candid reflections, Sarah and Stefanie unpacks the messy, nonlinear process of recovery: the relief of food freedom, the discomfort of identity shifts, and the challenge of living in a culture obsessed with thinness.
