Why I Eat Healthy... Until 3pm?!

Have you ever felt like your body just wasn’t on your side? Like no matter what you tried, the anxiety kept building, food felt like a constant struggle, and you couldn’t shake the frustration?

If you’ve been there, you’re not alone. It can feel exhausting, like you’re stuck in a cycle you can’t break.

But what if the answer wasn’t to try harder, but to pause and listen in a whole new way?

In today’s episode, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Avery Woodhouse. Avery’s story is one of resilience and discovery. She went from feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from her body to learning how to truly listen to herself, finding peace and freedom along the way. Now, she’s not only transformed her own life but is helping others do the same as a coach.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or wondered if real change is possible, Avery’s journey will show you just how much is.
