In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Bonnie speaks with Amy, a former client who spent over 30 years caught in the cycle of dieting, including time as a Weight Watchers leader before finding lasting food freedom through intuitive eating. Amy opens up about the emotional toll of decades of restriction, the burnout from chasing weight loss goals, and the healing that’s come from learning to trust her body again. Whether you’re just starting to question diet culture or decades into your own journey, Amy’s story is a resonant reminder that it’s never too late to heal.
