In what seems like a different lifetime, Iris Higgins was a weight loss coach for a large commercial weight loss program. While eating less than 1,500 calories a day, she was coaching women to lose weight and also bingeing regularly.\\xa0\\xa0

One day, she had a thought that changed everything. She decided that she would rather gain weight than be obsessed with food for the rest of my life.\\xa0

Eventually, when it came to her body, Iris realized that\\xa0 \\u201cthis is who I\\u2019m going through life with, we might as well be best friends.\\u201d\\xa0

Iris and I also talked about the incident on Capitol Hill and how to navigate situations of violence and racial injustice, we need to come from a grounded and centered place. We talked about fat phobia, raising our children to be intuitive and mindful eaters (even with food sensitivities), and Iris\\u2019 upcoming nourishing bodies program.\\xa0
