Alright, for my high-achievers, let’s talk about why things still aren’t clicking in your relationship with food. The same strengths—discipline, routine, structure— that help you crush it in other areas might be working against you when it comes to feeling in control with food.
It’s frustrating. You’re used to getting results, but with food, your diet, feeling good in your body, it feels like everything falls apart. If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I figure this out?”—you’re not alone. I unpack why strong, high-achieving women often struggle with food and body image, and take it as personal failure when, in reality, you just need a different approach. Let’s get into it.

Today's guest, Mary Jelkovsky, is back, and we're diving into something so many of us know all too well—feeling lost, lonely, and realizing that making friends as an adult is HARD. We chat about how significant life transitions and healing your relationship with food and body image can throw you into an existential crisis. Seriously, who hasn't asked, "WTF just happened?" or "Who am I?"
Mary gives us the tea on her journey from battling food and body image issues to becoming a self-love queen, hosting retreats, writing books, and blowing up on social media. We break down the nuances of adulthood, recovery, and the awkward "I'm lost" phase, and why building community as an adult is so damn hard.
Whether you're trying to level up your relationships, figure out who you are, or start a self-love journey, this episode is packed with practical tips, personal stories, and wisdom from two gals who are very much so *still* figuring it out.

A few weeks ago, I threw up a Q&A box on my Instagram stories, and one submission was an immediate screenshot and save moment: “I literally feel like I am eating so much and just don’t feel full.” (thank you to the woman who submitted it) I knew right then and there this had to be a pod episode.
I’ve been there—three different times in my life, actually—and I was clueless as to why this was happening.
So today on the pod, I chat about my experiences with this feeling, what I ended up learning about why you can be eating enough and still not feel full, and how I eventually got to a place where I could feel and honor my fullness with very little effort.
You'll also hear me chat about:
The various physical, psychological, behavioral, and biological reasons you can eat and still may not feel your fullness My clean eating / high volume foods era My transition to flexible dieting and macro counting and how it initially felt liberating until it became suffocating My doubts with intuitive eatingWhat the beginning of my intuitive eating journey felt like Extreme hunger and feeling insatiableThe journey of rebuilding trust with food and my bodyHow I eventually was able to feel my fullness____

She discusses how to create a life where structure, systems, and routines support your well-being without being restrictive, and how you can implement a concept called 'structured flexibility' on your journey to end binge eating, emotional eating and overeating if you are someone who thrives on routine but also wants a healthier, less obsessive relationship with food and fitness.

It’s been a hot minute since I released an episode but I’m back and ready to share a little bit of unconventional wisdom about learning to SLOWWWWW down and take a career break! Yeah, you heard me - a career BREAK! Sounds simultaneously terrifying and exciting, I know. But the reality is seasons of slowness, taking a step back and maybe even taking a full blown sabbatical should be as much a part of the conversation as goal setting and career advancement.
If you’re feeling burnt out, stretched thin, uninspired, and unmotivated it may be time to consider slowing down and allowing your soul to recharge + reboot. On today’s episode I share:
⁃5 signs it’s time to slow down + maybe even take a career break ⁃How to overcome fears about taking a break and slowing down ⁃How to set yourself up to take a break / sabbatical ⁃The benefits of entering a season of slowness
I also share a little life update and why I haven’t released an episode in months (hint hint - there’s a tiny human growing inside my uterus! Hello 23 weeks!)
Lastly, I share a little bit about my new 23-day Food Freedom mini-course, Hungry For Recovery launching July 7th, 2023! The course was designed for those who aren’t quite ready to dive into a full blown recovery program, but are ready to lay the foundation and finally get started on their food freedom journey with tangible tools and action plans that will help take you feeling from STUCK to UNSTOPPABLE.

We have a very special episode today where Jessi brings in a Food Freedom Online Program client to unpack their journey from the very beginning; how her struggles with food & body started, what she tried in the past to heal & ultimately how she found food freedom. A true redemption story that we hope encourages every woman out there that may think they have to choose between mental freedom and body freedom. If you ever have wondered, can I pursue weight loss, fitness & aesthetic goals? Make sure to give this a listen! Similar to Amelia, you just have to bake your cake in the right order.
