Finding Our Hunger
Summary: Do you hate your body? Are you tired of dieting or emotional eating? Are you obsessed with food, nutrition, and exercise? Maybe it’s time to unpack your bags and start on a brand new journey to health, wellness, and positive body image. Each week Kaila Prins meets with the experts in fitness, nutrition, health at every size, eating disorder recovery, addiction, and more to chart the path toward self-esteem and body positivity. We believe that hunger can be physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, abstract or real. Hunger can be sated through nutrition, through story, through community, through support, through fitness, through sharing, and through self-reflection...through un-doing the lies we've told ourselves about how hunger truly feels. We welcome you to join this community of fellow-travelers who gather together to unpack our bags and unashamedly air what we find inside. We look back at the past only to gain awareness of where we are so we can muster the courage to un-map the uncertainty of our future travels–together. We join hands–and stories–as we walk, unafraid, on the path to finally finding our hunger.
