Summary

What if you could ditch diet culture and feel amazing in your body? In this episode, Stacy talks with the ever-wise Alicia Stafford—aka the queen of “your way” weight loss—for a conversation that’s as real as it gets. Together, they talk about the messy middle of healing from disordered eating, making peace with food (yes, even dessert!), and finding a path to wellness that actually feels good. We’re talking orthorexia, intuitive eating, body trust, and how to let go of the toxic rules we’ve been taught to follow. This one’s part truth-telling, part pep talk, and full of those “OMG, me too!” moments. If you've ever struggled with food, body image, or just want to feel at home in your skin—pull up a chair. You’re not alone, and freedom is possible. 00:00 | Welcome + Why This Conversation Matters 03:00 | Disordered Eating Histories & Breaking the Cycle 07:45 | What "Your Way" Really Means 11:15 | Intuition, Scarcity Mindset & Food Freedom 17:00 | Letting Go of Control + Listening to Your Body 24:30 | Weight Gain, Ozempic, and Owning Your Story 28:25 | Healing Without an Audience 35:20 | The Mindset Conversation + Next Steps DISCLAIMER: This episode contains open and personal discussions about eating disorders and weight, including orthorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and weight loss.

0:00.0	Welcome Alicia to one of the very first episodes of the relaunch.
0:18.0	The show, I'm excited.
0:19.9	I think this is the first time I'm saying this because
0:21.5	when I've talked to previous guests, I wasn't quite sure what we were calling it. It's a real talk
0:25.7	whole life. And I feel like there is no one better to have the conversation that I have had
0:35.8	listeners ask me for so, so, so many times.
0:39.6	So just to kind of introduce you to Alicia a little bit and also lay the groundwork,
0:45.6	Alicia is the queen of Your Way weight loss.
0:49.9	And when we first met, I was in a very dark phase of my life where I had to really
0:56.1	a shoe all things related to weight loss because I had orthorexia.
1:02.1	I have previously had bulimia.
1:04.2	I have had atypical anorexia.
1:06.7	I've had binge eating disorder.
1:08.3	I've had a lot of disordered eating and eating disorders my entire life.
1:15.4	It started when I was a teenager, when I was sent to Fat Camp and learned about bulimia there.
1:21.7	And through that process, I was in a place where I associated anyone who talked about weight loss

1:50.7	how to love their bodies. It's not about all of the dark things that I associated with.
1:57.1	And I have been watching you as a member of, you know, a different community for a really long time
2:05.4	and getting to know you. I'm like tearing up thinking about it because I was on my own journey
2:10.6	and you didn't change, but my perception of you and the work that you did definitely shifted over time. And I came to realize
