In this episode I talk to Melissa Rohlfs about how our relationship with food can impact our lives in the way we feel and how we are able to live a full and meaningful life.
Introduction
Melissa Rohlfs is a certified holistic health and life coach helping busy moms and teen girls find freedom from the struggle with food, so they can be at peace with food, their bodies and their lives. She is committed to empowering women to break free from dieting, emotional eating and self-image issues so they can ditchthe diet mentality, and feel empowered in their own skin.
After her own tumultuous history with food {withholding and then later in life, binging}, she learned how to deal with the core issues around her broken relationship with food. As a result, she felt called to go to school and learn to teach other women how to do the same.
