• #30: Why Food Isn't the Problem w/ Michelle Murphy
    Sep 28 2026

    Are you a woman who feels exhausted by food decisions, experience anxiety and guilt about eating, crave real lasting change, and desire guidance & support from someone who understands both the emotional and physical sides of food and body struggles? Well, you've come to the right place!

    Our guest Michelle Murphy is the owner of Holistic Wellness Counseling in Columbus OH. She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a wellness coach helping women take control of their weight and stop obsessing over food. She specializes in helping women with disordered eating and eating disorders heal their relationship with food and with their body.

    Listen to our conversation to learn how emotional eating often has little to do with hunger, how shame and guilt keep women stuck in unhealthy cycles, even when they're highly motivated, and how body, mind, and spirit all work together in food and body healing.

    What takeaway did you get from this episode? I would love to hear all about it!
