Welcome to my Summer Throwback Playlist—a handpicked collection of the most downloaded episodes of the podcast. These are listener favorites, packed with insights, laughs, and empowered eating encouragement to keep you fueled all summer long.

A quick heads up: since these are throwbacks, you might hear old references to programs or events that are no longer active—but the heart of each episode still hits. Let’s dive in and revisit the best of the best!

In the very first episode of Fuel Her Awesome, I shared my journey from disordered eating to food freedom. But that wasn’t the end of the story.

In today’s episode, I’m taking you into the next chapter—how I went from simply having food freedom to stepping fully into Empowered Eating.

For a long time, I believed I had to choose:

• Be obsessive about food but feel good in my body or

• Accept my body fully, but live with a low-grade discomfort

I was afraid that focusing on my health would pull me back into obsession, and I honestly didn’t know if there was a middle ground.

But there is—and this episode is about how I found it, why I made the leap, and how Empowered Eating became the answer I didn’t know I needed.

💛 If you’ve ever felt stuck between control and chaos, between acceptance and energy—this one’s for you.
