In Episode 5 of the Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re dismantling the biggest lie diet culture ever sold you: that you have to choose between food freedom or your dream body. Spoiler alert—you don’t.

If you’ve ever feared that healing your relationship with food would mean “letting yourself go,” this episode is for you. I share the real reason that obsession hasn’t been working (even if you think it’s helping), how my body actually changed after I started eating more and letting go of food guilt, and why consistency—not restriction—is the secret to real results.

We’ll talk through the binge/restrict cycle, the mindset that keeps women stuck, and what it actually looks like to eat, lift, rest, and still build a physique you’re proud of—without fear or obsession.

Whether you’re scared to let go or just need proof that freedom and physique goals can coexist—this one’s gonna hit home.

You say you want food freedom. To rest without guilt. To stop obsessing.
But when it comes time to actually let go?
Your chest tightens. Your mind spirals. And suddenly, healing doesn’t feel freeing—it feels unsafe.

In episode 4 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we break down why healing can feel so terrifying—especially when your identity is wrapped in control. Through my own story of post-treatment panic, navigating praise for unhealthy habits, and the discomfort of peace, I'll help you see why you’re not broken… you’re just scared. And that fear? It makes so much sense.

Inside this episode:

• Why control feels safe (but is actually stealing your life)
• The hidden grief no one talks about in recovery
• How to take brave steps toward freedom—even if it terrifies you

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I without this obsession?”—this episode is for you.

In episode 3 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re calling out one of the most toxic (but sneaky) mindsets holding you back: all-or-nothing thinking. You know the drill—you eat one cookie, miss one workout, skip your morning routine… and suddenly it’s “screw it, I’ll start over Monday.”

But what if you’re not actually messing up?

What if you’re just trying to heal inside a system that punishes flexibility and praises obsession?

I’m breaking down why all-or-nothing isn’t about willpower—it’s a nervous system safety response. We’ll explore how this mindset keeps you stuck in the binge-restrict spiral, why perfectionism feels safer than peace, and how to rewire your brain to finally trust yourself.

You’ll walk away with:

• A totally fresh lens on self-sabotage (it’s actually self-protection)
• Tangible mindset shifts to get unstuck and build real consistency
• Three empowering strategies you can use this week to stop “starting over”

If you’ve been chasing perfection and burning down your progress every time life feels messy… this episode is your permission slip to rewrite the rules.

In Episode 2 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re diving into something that isn’t talked about enough: when your “healthy” habits are actually hurting you. I’m breaking down 5 sneaky signs your lifestyle might be disordered—from fearing rest days and obsessing over food rules, to spiraling with guilt after eating “too much” or tying your body image to how perfect you were that week.

If you’ve ever felt anxious around food, ashamed after indulging, or like your worth depends on how ‘disciplined’ you are—this one’s for you.

I share personal stories, the hard truths I had to face in my own journey, and offer 3 powerful steps you can start taking this week to move toward a lifestyle that’s actually healthy—balanced, peaceful, and true to you. This episode will help you question what you’ve been taught, reclaim your power, and start redefining health in a way that feels life-giving, not obsessive.

In Episode 1 of The Fit Without Obsession Podcast, we’re going all in—and I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered story behind how I went from full-blown food obsession to full-body freedom.

I take you through the darkest parts of my journey:

• Growing up as a dancer who never felt like enough
• Falling into restriction, orthorexia, and eventually anorexia
• Hitting rock bottom after binge eating, weight gain, and complete identity loss
• And the messy, imperfect, powerful path I took to rebuild my body, my mindset, and my life

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels terrified to stop tracking, restricting, or over-exercising
• Has ever thought “what’s wrong with me?” after another binge
• Is desperate to feel free—but doesn’t know how to let go

You’ll walk away with:

• A deeper understanding of how food obsession really shows up
• Validation that there’s nothing wrong with you—and you’re not alone
• Hope that healing is possible, even if you don’t know where to start
• A reminder that you don’t have to choose between food freedom and your dream body

This is the beginning of something powerful. You’re not broken—and you don’t have to figure it all out before you begin.

Let’s do this together.
