Get INTUIT with Gila- a podcast about Intuitive Eating and Personal Growth.

I had the privilege of interviewing Alissa Rumsey. She recently wrote the book Unapologetic Eating: Make Peace With Food and Transform Your Life.

I think you will love the episode!  If you have gained from this episode or any of my content, please...

In today's episode, I spoke with Rachel Buxbaum about trauma and body relationships. We had a really interesting conversation about the intersection between the two.

Peoples relationship with food and body are so interconnected with so man...

Paige and I cover so much ground in this episode.   We started off by speaking about where she lives - In Salt Lake City, Utah.

Today's episode was really fun! Naomi Nachman is amazing and has such a fascinating life. I loved speaking with her and hearing her enthusiasm and positive energy. This episode was so much fun but it was also very inspiring for me. So many times we are held back by our lack of experience or the stories we make up in our heads. Naomi had a vision and she just went for it and she is so successful to...

In today's episode, I spoke with Sarah Chana Radcliffe about the overlap between Intuitive Eating and what she sees in her psychology practice.
