231: How Healing Your Relationship with FOOD Can Help You LIVE A FULFILLED LIFE with Mel Wells

<p> </p> <p>Take a peek at Mel Wells’ Instagram feed and you’ll see instantly why I love talking with her and following her amazing journey of self-love. As an actress at 18 on a UK soap opera, Mel was exposed early on to the pressures of the performing arts world and keeping a “thin” figure. This pressure eventually led to eating disorder behavior and she remained in that self-described black hole for seven years.</p> <p> </p> <p>Shortly after that time, she left that world, rediscovered her self-worth and rewrote her mindset. She now helps other women get out of the diet culture and change their relationship with food and their bodies. Because as Mel describes, by healing our relationships with food we can also change our relationships with our souls.</p> <p> </p> <p>As a person who’s struggled with my relationship with food and my body, I related on all fronts of Mel’s messages. There really is a parallel between healing that relationship and using that same knowledge in all areas of your life. It ultimately comes down to loving yourself and giving yourself freedom. This was such a heartfelt conversation and I can’t wait to hear what you resonated with the most.</p> <p> </p> <p>--   </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Question Highlights:</strong></p> <ul> <li>What got you started on your path?</li> <li>What was it that finally broke the cycle for you?</li> <li>What do you tell someone who feels stuck?</li> <li>How do you calm those fight or flight thoughts?</li> <li>When you get psychological cravings what can you do?</li> <li>What does it actually look like when you support other women?</li> <li>What does being authentic mean for you in your life?</li> <li>What are some tools you’re relying on to get you through your recent move?</li> <li>What journey do you want to take women on at your Self Love Summit?</li> <li>Did you have any limiting beliefs around creating relationships with women?</li> <li>Tell me about your new book, <em>Hungry for More</em>.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>In This Episode We Talk about:</stron
