On today's episode, we have a past client of Britt's here to chat all things dieting recovery, exercise, body image, and putting weight loss on the back burner to find food freedom. Monica has been conscious and aware and concerned about her body and eating since her first memory at 4 years old. As with many people, she has struggled with body acceptance and finding peace and balance with her eating and exercise. With the help of Brittany and her own determination she has slowly found peace and balance with food and body image. The journey continues on, but with happiness and peace at this point.

Since lessening her thoughts about food and body image, Monica has had more time to enjoy life. She finds joy in being outside and enjoying the desserts of Southern Utah. She enjoys her family and friends. Monica enjoys anything related to home; cooking, decorating, organizing etc. Monica enjoys reading and continually learning. By profession, Monica is a Speech-Language Pathologist and finds happiness in seeing her clients progress.
