0:00.0	Hello and welcome. This is Jesse Jean and you're listening to the Dear Body Podcast.
0:07.6	I spent 10 years stuck in the diet binge cycles hating my body and envying women who seem to have it all because I never felt enough.
0:15.9	And what I discovered in my journey to food freedom, radical self-love, and becoming an eating psychology coach
0:21.3	is this. You can either live your life at war with your mind or learn to work in sync with it.

1:20.4	an incredible episode. It is juicy. We get into it. And I think you will be very, very moved and encouraged and inspired
1:29.0	by what you're about to hear. So without further ado, let's get into it. All right, everyone,
1:35.1	I am sitting here with my very first podcast guest. If you don't already know this woman,
