So to continue that thought.... This week on the pod is the second part of a really cool discussion that I had with Shadoe Ball where we deep, deep dive into her experiences with intuitive eating.  If you thought part one was good, this week we keep the good time going covering fullness, emotional eating, body respect, body movement and gentle nutrition.   Here are some highlights of our discussion:
