In this episode, Mary is joined by her dear friend Jessi (@jessijeannn on Instagram) who talks about food freedom, intuitive eating, and healing from body-image struggles. Jessi’s story starts in high school when like many young women, she started restrictive dieting. She went on to compete in bikini fitness competitions thinking that it would make her have more “self-control” around food, but it only made it worse. The exhaustion of dieting, over exercising, and depriving her body nearly killed her. After being on a healing journey of 10 years, Jessi became a Certified Eating Psychology coach and created the Food Freedom Online Program which helps women heal their relationship with food and their body. In this podcast, Jessi talks about her daily morning routine which has helped her and hundreds of women stop binge eating by reprogramming the neural pathways in their brain and forming new habits around eating. She also gives tactical advice for conquering binge eating, eating intuitively, and building positive body-image. Get more info on Jessi’s program here: https://www.conquerbingeeating.com/ffmAnd listen to her podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dear-body-podcast/id1460137502 You can also find her on IG here: https://www.instagram.com/jessijeannn/  Tag us on Instagram and let us know you’re listening! @jessijeannn and @maryscupofteaa
