She opens up about her personal journey, how her work has evolved, and why many clients discover that the real breakthroughs come from healing relationships, emotions, and patterns beneath the surface. If you've done "everything right" but still feel stuck, this episode shows why a more personalized, deeper approach might be what's missing. "When you work on what's underneath the surface, everything else starts to shift, including your relationship with food."
