She dives into the mental and physical work that is necessary to achieve this. There are so many components involved (and discussed)! From diet culture, exercise, and loving yourself… to not letting your stories define you and so much more. Danielle strives toward changing the narrative of dieting. She shares the scientific, mental, and emotional aspects of dieting, and in this episode, we learn how to support our bodies and remove the guilt of eating. Not only that, but Danielle also covers the concept of exercising to feel your best… not necessarily just to ‘be your skinniest.’ Danielle shows us that we can reframe the stories that we tell ourselves, and recognize the power they have over us. We are capable of anything! So tune in and learn how you can take control of your narrative.
