Dieting is exhausting.

When most people think about dieting, they think about restriction. Rules. Good foods and bad foods. Starting over on Monday. And the truth is that all of those things have kept us stuck and in the grips of diet culture for way too long. One thing I say to our health coaching and retreat guests all the time is that restriction doesn’t equal health. In fact, it often creates the opposite — a cycle of guilt, shame, frustration, and disconnection from your body.
