EP155: From Anorexia to Empowerment: Tasha’s Journey

Are the relentless demands of life and society’s beauty standards driving you to neglect your own needs? Is the stress of “hustle culture” leaving you under-eating, malnourished, and exhausted as you try to keep up with it all? If so, it’s time to end the war with your own body and rebuild your health from the inside out.

In this episode Christina is joined by coach Tasha Palichuk for her debut on the podcast.
