Aaron and Glenys reach out to you from home during the global COVID-19 pandemic. This is a time of stress and fear for everyone, and it can really bring up a lot of distress around body image, food insecurity and scarcity, and eating in general.

In this episode they discuss:

Their personal experiences of navigating scarcity at the grocery stores and the emotional roller coaster they’ve both been on
The hard work and ingenuity their clients and so many others are putting into their healing while stuck at home
The uptick in body image issues and how many of us use worries about food and body as a way to control anxiety and distract from bigger worries
Dealing with anxiety and difficult feelings during this time
How we can use this time to feel better about our bodies
How some people actually find themselves thriving in the slowed pace
How diet culture doesn’t go away even in extreme times of uncertainty and worry
