Notable Quotes:

Eating is not just about the food and it’s not just about the nourishment. I think holidays are a wonderful time to re-experience that and to renegotiate what food means.
— Lift the Shame podcast
It’s really about connection. It’s about tradition, and it’s also about honoring your body and allowing yourself to find pleasure and joy in food again, because that is also part of a healthy relationship with food.
