141: You Deserve To Feel Nourished with Maura Rodgers

I bring you another beautiful interview today, friends. While working on my business I’ve become more present in my relationship with food, becoming in tune with what I really need. Changing our relationship with food is key to understanding our right to nourish our bodies. It’s on this whole line of thought that I invited Maura Rodgers to talk with me today. Maura is a registered dietician, integrative health coach, and an avid foodie and she coaches and empowers people to embrace mindful and intuitive eating techniques. Maura is such a beautiful person and our conversation covers not just healthy eating but truly celebrating food and becoming the most vibrant version of ourselves. 

Maura shares that she grew up in a culture where food was appreciated and celebrated and was something that her family was very intentional about enjoying. She grew up with a wonderful relationship to food and her body but she realized that too many people do not have that relationship at all. That’s what propelled her into a nutrition career, though not along the lines of dieting, but focusing on nourishing bodies instead. Maura and I talk about the shame that comes with a lot of food relationships, the guilt ingrained in diet culture, and why it’s okay to celebrate food. Maura addresses the need for self-compassion and letting go of fear around food while assessing what our bodies really want. Maura’s approach is rooted in health and celebration of bodies and eating, and she exudes kindness and a real understanding of how to make changes that lean towards nourishment gradually and with care. I know you’ll love hearing what she has to say.
