Real Fit Podcast ep. 55 | Ditching dieting to embrace authentic, wholehearted living with Kim Basler
TW: Suicidal thoughts
How do you let go of restrictive dieting and a lifetime of people-pleasing to ultimately embrace intuitive eating and start living a life that honors your true needs, desires, and values?
Food freedom & mindset coach, author, speaker, and award-winning fitness professional Kim Basler takes a deep, vulnerable, insight-filled dive into that question in this episode. Kim flipped her professional and personal life upside down when she admitted that dieting and perfectionism were destroying her mental and physical health.
I suggest preparing to be inspired and having a tissue ready before you listen. Kim's honesty about some truly tough stuff is such a gift.

The pressure to "look fit" as a fitness professional

Managing the uncomfortable feelings that came with weight gain as she became an intuitive eater
