Hey there, welcome to episode 387 of the Find Your Food Voice podcast. I am Julie Duffy

Dylan, your host and registered dietitian. I am looking forward to sharing with you

another mini session episode. So mini sessions are these packaged up in kind of quick fits. They give you a snapshot of an

intervention that I would have done in a session with a client. Of course, a mini session is meant to be

for education and informational purposes only. It doesn't replace an actual session with an in-person

provider.

But I hope it helps you to just consider some new options and even better bringing it to

your dietician or therapist or another in-person health care provider as you are mending

your complicated history with food.

And as I record this episode, I am feeling,

I just to be totally frank with you, I'm feeling a bit mixed and just even how much

enthusiasm I have with recording today. I usually am really excited when I get to push record, but as you may

know, I live in the state of North Carolina and my state is going through a whole lot right now.

And it's taken me many extra days just to even push record because I haven't really felt like it.

I usually have been putting out two episodes a week and I've just decided, you know what,

it's just going to be one episode for this week.

And I'm going to have to just be okay with it because it's just a lot.

And I live in the very center part of North Carolina.

So I'm about 100 miles east of where you may have seen on the news or heard about where Hurricane Helene did a lot of damage and caused a lot of flooding.

And you know, the thing about it is if you don't live kind of close by, you may not appreciate

actually how much damage has been done and how much pain is happening. The part of North

Carolina where this hurricane hit is in a place that is just so beautiful and also is so beautiful because it's wild.
