Are you interested in diet culture?  Have you been worried about how you're eating? In this episode I talk with Lisa Salisbury. She is a health and weight loss life coach for women who want to lose weight without counting and calculating their food. As a former chronic dieter, Lisa knows what it's like to be all-consumed with everything that goes into your mouth.
