I want to tell you a story, and I want you to let me know if you relate to this. I used to work for an agency creating video and photography content around food. The job was good, but often stressful. Sometimes the workload was heavy, sometimes the clients were particular, sometimes things would go

Why We Need To Stop Focusing On Weight Loss
Hello, jello! I know it’s been a hot minute (ahem, a month), so I’m super excited to get this post out, because I’ve been thinking about it for so freaking long.

How Hyperpalatable Foods Control Your Hunger (And What You Can Do About It)
I’ve talked a lot about intuitive eating and how to restore your relationship with food. The reason for this is because I know, first hand, that if you don’t have a healthy relationship with food, nothing else matters.
