Ep 208: Body image and healing your relationship with food with Jordana Edelstein

Ahh, the joy of bringing on a friend and colleague who you could chat with for hours! I'm thrilled to have Jordana Edelstein back on the podcast to talk about body image and healing your relationship with food. 

In this episode Jordana shares:

• Why body image is an opinion and why learning to respond to your opinion is more important than changing your opinion
• The risks of comparison around body shape and size
• Why before and after images (and the whole notion) is unhelpful (plus, what's more helpful)
• Why reconnecting with your body for reasons beyond how it looks is so vital (and the role of joy)
• The important skills we need to learn to make shifts in our relationship with ourselves and with food
• Why the goal isn't to love your body (and what the goal really is)
• Why losing weight won't change your body image
• The ways disordered eating can show up in our lives.

Tune in for the full episode. This conversation is a big one. We hope you love it.
