In today’s episode, I’m talking to Maria Brigantino, certified change coach, an anti-diet advocate, and a mama to two pups and two bonus kids. After her own experience with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, she has grown a passion to really help other people find freedom from obsessive thinking about food, body weight, and body image.  During our conversation, Maria shares her own experience with an eating disorder and why body image issues plague young girls from a young age.
