Summary
This week Kat has one of her best friends on to talk about both of them watching each other develop unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. In this candid conversation both Kat and Kellie share what it was like to see the others behavior change. They talk about what was helpful about how the other responded and what they wish they would have known and said to their friend who was struggling. This episode is a GREAT resource for anyone who has wondered what to say and how to approach a friend or loved one that they think may also be struggling!
