Summary

“I was hungry to know that I was accepted and approved of”. I believe so many of us can relate to this statement. As women, we want to be liked, loved, seen and live up to the set beauty standard. In this episode, Jessi is joined by Food Freedom Online Program Client, Chaunti. Chaunti shares her experience with food and body struggles as a black woman and how taboo it can be to talk about these struggles. Chaunti discusses the lack of representation in the 80’s of individuals that look like her in the media + beyond. This episode is insightful, inspiring and emotional, Chaunti is a courageous leader. There is so much that Jessi and Chaunti dive into yet so much more to unpack, so Chaunti will be back for a Part 2!

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.

And what I discovered in my journey to food freedom, radical self-love, and becoming an eating psychology coach is this.

You can either live your life at war with your mind or learn to work in sync with it.

Hello and welcome to another Her Story podcast episode.

0:51.0

I'm very, very excited about this podcast episode because my guest today is very special

0:56.1

and we're going to be diving into a topic that needs to be spoken on more. And that involves

1:02.1

black women and eating disorders or the black population in general and eating disorders. This is

1:07.9

something that it is kind of a taboo topic. And what we're going

1:12.9

to dive into today will hopefully be enlightening and encouraging for others who can relate

1:18.6

to my guest today. Her name is Chante. I have gotten to know her over the last year. She's a

1:24.0

beautiful soul, an incredible individual and just has a lot to speak on. And getting

1:31.2

to see Shantay's journey evolve and her be a part of our community has been such a gift to me.

1:36.7

I have learned a lot from Shantay. And she's been so graceful to just be in a community that is

1:43.4

predominantly white women. And I think it's really

1:46.2

important that we focus on speaking into other communities and bringing in more representation.

1:54.0

I'm so thankful that you are willing to come on, Chante, to do that and to speak to other
