It's tough, especially as women, to feel great about our bodies. The pressure from the media and the beauty industry has created unrealistic beauty standards. It has stripped us of our confidence. The need to be slimmer, younger-looking, with the perfect skin and body proportions often slows us or stops us from really leaning into our calling. Because of this, Eliza Kingsford does what she does; helps women stand in their power by helping them with their food addictions. I just needed to get her on the show!

You have to be unapologetic and consistent in your vision in who you want to serve and how you want to do it, but also let go of how you want to get there.
How to stay laser focused on your why
How early in her career she thought she had so much to prove so she did less listening and more proving
How the body holds onto trauma and it manifests itself in other emotional problems
That there is a strong push towards body positivity in our culture, but the problem is that people aren’t working on the inner beauty first
That body image issues with women are they too much and never enough of something
Why we need to let go of the outdated narratives about how we are supposed to look like, show up and act as women
How she believes that negative body image is a safety blanket to not have to show up

What it means to be a wild woman:“Being unapologetically authentic. To being aligned in the most version ad vibration of myself.”
