EP 93","description":" Wise advice: Learn from those who have actually experienced what you\u2019re experiencing and have successfully found a path forward. When it comes to loving yourself and your body \u2013 exactly as you are, and it is, today \u2013 Teddey has been there and done that!   As she shares her story with Host, Laura Prisc, Teddey says, \u201cI used to think: There\u2019s something wrong with me and my body.\u201d She didn\u2019t fit the cultural expectations for who she was supposed to be. \u201cI felt like I couldn\u2019t get my life started\u2026 I was dancing around opportunities and doing all the things I \u2018should\u2019 do to change my body, but it wasn\u2019t working.\u201d  Teddey was on a destructive \u2018binge-restrict\u2019 cycle, filled with shame and guilt, when she heard someone speaking about what she had been experiencing, realized it was something \u2018real\u2019 that others were struggling with, as well, and she began her path to healing through an intensive therapy program.   She learned to be kind to herself; to develop and follow more nourishing eating habits and other ways of taking real care of herself. In the process, she worked through and healed a lot of old trauma.   Today, she works with women experiencing similar challenges. She uses Reiki, Tapping, and other energetic work along with coaching to help her clients heal themselves.   Laura and Teddey discuss how our culture has normalized a lot of insane beliefs and practices that are so damaging. It\u2019s a deep and rich conversation and hopefully will inspire you to want to come back into yourself and live a more purposeful life.   Teddey\u2019s Bio:   Teddey\u202fHicks is the Food & Body Love Coach.
