Mindful Shape
If you’ve been dieting and exercising your whole life and have yet to reach your weight-loss goal and keep it off, this podcast is for you! Most programs solve for the effect (the excess weight) but not the overeating problem - the reasons why you put on the extra weight in the first place. In each episode you’ll learn how to use your mind, not willpower to feel at peace with food and finally experience life in the body you secretly know is your natural shape. Let’s do it together.
