Summary
This week Laura is sharing a conversation she did as a guest on the We Shine Well podcast with host Zoë Kelsey — and it's one of the most honest, wide-ranging interviews Laura has done in a long time. Zoë draws out the full origin story: the month in the hospital with her newborn daughter, the shower that changed everything, and the moment Laura realized she'd been passing down a relationship with food and her body that she desperately wanted to break. They go deep on the psychology of weight loss, why pleasure is a strategy not a reward, what food noise actually is and where it comes from, and how to stop living in the "I'll be happy when" and start designing the life you want right now. A beautiful conversation. So glad to be sharing it here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
