Healing The Mother Wound With Kerri Hummingbird - Episode 143

This week on the Girls 4 Greatness podcast my guest and I have a conversation all about challenging the societal norms around food choices and our health.  Megan Hadley joins me this week as we tackle this somewhat controversial topic. Megan is a registered dietitian nutritionist with a Masters in Nutrition. Meagan started her company, Simple Nutrition, in January of 2015, and she is a big believer in the fact that relationships with food and body image are often the barriers that stand in the way of people living the fulfilled life they want to live. Megan is passionate about empowering her clients to find freedom in eating and in the acceptance of their bodies in the hopes that they can focus more attention towards truly living. I have no doubt that if you approach this episode with any open mind then you will be challenged to examine your own relationship with food, as well as to be more in tune with the way you choose to speak to yourself.  Please be sure to head to www.simplenutritioncounseling.com and www.forkthefoodrules.com  To find out more about Simple Nutrition and all the services Megan has to offer.
