Do you still see the same body you saw in the mirror when you were a shamed little kid? Maybe you can still hear the daunting words of adults who were possibly trying to help you, and with the holidays approaching, you find yourself slumping back into that same negative self-image. In this episode, Sarah Simpson shares her story of going from low to even lower self-esteem when she met her goal weight and finally stepped on a journey of attaining a healthy body image.
Sarah is a body image and food freedom coach based out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Sarah's passion for self-love and whole-body wellness emerged from her own experiences in the hamster wheel of dieting and weight loss goals that go back to elementary school and eventually led to orthorexia, or an obsession with being "healthy.” After recovering from her eating disorder and finding her inner confidence after college, Sarah realized she was not alone in her struggles. She became a coach because she understood that our relationships with our bodies and food impact every area of our lives, and not enough is done to help us through that.
Today, she helps clients from all over the world define their health based on how they FEEL and not how they look, if the food they eat is satisfying and nutritious, and if they’re exercising that they genuinely enjoy. As her community has grown, she's seen the demand for sustainable, affordable programs that allow women to take control of their food mindset and body image. To continue to spread self-love and pursuit of food freedom, she's opened her online course Freedom University. Freedom University is a self-paced, financially accessible course that allows students to constructively improve their relationships with food and their body.
