Hi everybody. Welcome to the Women's Deeding and Confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today I have a really special episode for you because my colleague and fellow coach Renee came on the podcast to teach us how to end the war with food and our bodies.

So if you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you know that I don't usually bring on interview guests, but I am really inspired by Renee, so I reached out to her and asked her to teach us more about

how to feel confident in our bodies. I think I'm still growing in this area, and Renee is

really inspirational when it comes to body confidence and not obsessing over food and body image

and everything that she teaches.

So I'm going to link her contact info if you want to connect with her,

if you want to thank her, if you want to hire her in the show notes below.

Also, if you really struggle with dating anxiety and it's so bad that it interferes with not only your dating life,

but every other area of your life. Check out the link in the show notes for my coaching program

called The Solution to Dating Anxiety. All right, without further ado, here is Renee.

Renee, thank you so much for being here on the women's seating and confidence podcast. I was so excited to have you on because I love seeing your Facebook posts,

which are mainly pictures of pizza with inspirational messages about loving yourself. So I wanted to spread a

little bit of that with the women's dating and confidence podcast audience. And so you help

women end the war with food and their bodies. And I would love to hear a little bit more about

your story with ending the war with food and your body. How long was that journey for you?

What did that look like for you? And why do you help people do that now? Yes. Oh,

man, Amber, I'm so excited to talk to you about this stuff. And gosh, I could just go on for days and days about this. So my kind of my own kind of war with food started around age 14, which I think is a pretty common time for a lot of girls. You know, that's kind of like

peak eating disorder time. You know, it's like your hormones are off. You're getting a little

bit of weight. But yeah, so for me, it started around 14. And, you know, it just started very

sneakily. It started, I've always been somewhat active.

And, you know, I was in soccer and I just kind of started paying a little bit more attention to my body at that time.

And I remember I did go on a diet.
