A JOYFUL PODCAST CONVERSATION.....

I really enjoyed chatting to Mari Craig on She Speaks Talk Radio.

We had a great conversation which I hope you’ll find insightful. We discussed what intuitive eating is all about and how giving yourself unconditional permission to eat any food actually leads to eating in a more balanced way!
