The Food No One Sees

This week’s episode touches something very real for us the quiet, hidden moments with food. You know the ones I mean. 

This week we unpack truth-telling, and the honest reflections that came up as I sat in nature, hat feather and all. If you’ve ever felt the urge to eat in secret, or noticed that tug-of-war between freedom and fear, this one’s for you.

Quote of the Week:

 “You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.” – Brené Brown
