Inspiration for your healing journey with food & body

One of the most powerful things to support yourself on your healing, are what you surround yourself with! Making sure to actively seek out videos, books, people, quotes, social media pages that inspire you, can be incredibly helpful!

I remember in my own journey watching the same few Ted Talks about body image everyday. They made me believe that another way to look at myself was possible, because they were in the same position as me once!

So here is my list of inspirations for you!
