Welcome to "The Mindful Balance" podcast!
If you're fed up with the emotional eating rollercoaster and the endless cycle of overeating, then you're in the right place. Please make yourself feel at home!

Here, you will find a holistic, science-backed approach that breaks everything down into bite-sized pieces, giving you the power, awareness, and encouragement to live the life you crave.
You don't need to go on another diet that feels like a punishment or sort out every single one of your life's problems before you can stop drowning your sorrows in ice cream. My mission is to show you how to save all that energy and time for the stuff that really matters in life.
