2: Collegiate Athlete Turned Attorney: Overcoming Body Dysmorphia and Bulimia

Feb 8

EPISODE OVERVIEW:

This is a special episode with a dynamic client who I’ve had the pleasure of coaching for a year now, Katy Jones.

Katy was a champion gymnast, diver, and collegiate athlete, whose struggles with food, body, and weight began in childhood and followed her through her thirties.

Listen to hear how Katy has achieved food freedom with the normal chaos of life as an attorney, wife, mom, and avid traveler.

I loved interviewing Katy because she’s so real and honest. This is an open, genuine conversation that will fill you with hope and possibility.
