Episode Description from the Publisher

What happens when trying to control your body—and your life—becomes the very thing keeping you stuck?In this episode, I’m talking with Alison about her experience with an eating disorder, and what began to change when she started questioning the beliefs that kept her trapped in control, fear, and rigidity.Alison shares what she’s learned about trusting her body, letting go of the need to have all the answers, making space for pleasure and rest, and discovering that she can live her life without needing to know exactly how everything will turn out.And you don’t need to have an eating disorder to relate to this conversation. If you’ve ever thought, “If I could just figure this out, then I’d finally be okay,” there’s something here for you.Want to feel more at peace in your body?→ Work with me 1:1: www.kristinabruce.com/private-coaching→ Get my free Guide to Body Peace: www.kristinabruce.com/guideCONNECT WITH KRISTINA🌐 Website: https://www.kristinabruce.com/📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinabrucecoachThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice.
