13 Years After My 3-Month Juice Fast: What I See Now

Thirteen years ago, I did a three-month juice fast. I thought it would be my big transformation...that if I could just “fix” my body, I’d finally feel both free, and deeply connected. Instead, it taught me a very different lesson: the danger of oversimplifying complex pain and treating ourselves like projects to perfect.

In this episode, I share:

• Why fasting felt easier than learning to eat in a way that felt sane and sustainable
• How I misunderstood my numbness, binge eating, and “food addiction” as moral failings rather than trauma responses
• The surprising truth I learned about healing: it’s not about purifying or transcending yourself...it’s about listening, understanding, and including all of who you are
• How I moved away from extremes and began building safety and compassion for my whole self

This month, I’m also releasing Rituals for a Free Spirit: a mini-course with simple, grounding practices for sensitive humans. It’s designed to help support you in moments of anxiety and overwhelm without adding another overwhelming to-do or trying to “fix” yourself. 

Sign up for my weekly email letter in the show notes to get the launch announcement (and a free ritual to try right away!).

If you’ve ever chased transformation but found yourself exhausted and disconnected, I hope this episode reminds you: You are not a project to fix. You are already here, already whole, already worthy of care.
