Ever feel like it might be time to break up with diet culture: that whole mindset that equates thinner with “better,” moralizes food, and keeps you stuck in endless rules and guilt? You’re not alone. This week, we revisit a powerful conversation with Erin Tennant, a national board-certified health and wellness coach and self-described “recovering dieter.” Erin opens up about losing—and keeping off—over 130 pounds not through strict diets or obsessive calorie counting, but by shifting her mindset, practicing self-compassion, and building a thoughtful, peace-filled relationship with food.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
how Erin stepped off the dieting roller coaster and found a sustainable path forward
mindset shifts that turn “failure” into “trial and correction”
real-life food choices that work in everyday situations
a kinder view of movement as self-care, not punishment
encouragement to honor your body as a God-given gift and embrace new mercies each day
If you’re ready to loosen diet culture’s grip and pursue genuine health and freedom, this episode is for you. Let's do this!
