In today’s “Dear Abby” style episode, I’m answering a question about what to do if your family or friends aren’t supportive of your intuitive eating process…whether it be because they don’t get it, they’re a skeptic, or they blatantly disagree with the non-diet approach.
A member of my community shared that she’s enjoying her new found food freedom with baking this holiday season - and her boyfriend isn’t thrilled. He’s still dieting, and she’s worried about sabotaging him. Can you relate?
Tune in to hear what advice I’m giving her (and YOU) about how to navigate your own intuitive eating journey, even when other people in your life aren’t on board. You don’t have to convince them that your way is the “right” way…you just need to find a way to honor your needs, while also respecting theirs.
It can be tricky, but it’s totally possible. I’ll give you some practical strategies and scripts for now to do this!
