Confronting Conventional Wellness: The Polarizing Truth about Personal Truth, Societal Pressures, & Body Positivity With Kiki Athanas, Intuitive Eating Coach

On today's episode of Coffee Conversations, Adele is join by guest Kiki Athanas, Intuitive Eating Coach.

Kiki Athanas, an intuitive eating coach who helps people live their best lives.

Kiki is laser focused on helping women conquer emotional eating and practice healthy, balanced eating with consistency and ease. She helps women connect with their own version of the “skinny b*tch” and has designed a unique program called 10/10 without the annoying food restrictions or ridiculous gym requirements.

All of this stems from Kiki’s own journey healing from various disordered eating. As she openly shared her own story, it struck a chord with numerous women who had undergone their unique struggles with disordered eating and the relentless pursuit of perfection, a pursuit often intertwined with their relationship with food. This transformative journey ignited Kiki's fascination with food and ultimately propelled her toward helping women understand and unravel the complexities of orthorexia and the relentless quest for an ideal diet. Instead of fixating on perfection, Kiki has directed her focus towards fostering an understanding of intuitive eating, and liberating women from the confines of dieting's vicious cycle.

Kiki and Adele talk about: 

• Kiki's journey into intuitive eating and Adele’s shift from the weight loss industry to her current business today. 
• How the current societal atmosphere, including the effects of the pandemic, can lead to issues such as eating disorders or addictions as a coping mechanism for a lack of external safety and certainty.
• The distinction between the actual meaning of body positivity and how it is currently perceived. They emphasize that it should mean acceptance of diverse body types and choices, rather than a one-size-fits-all narrative.
• The widespread discomfort around expressing personal truth in our current societal climate. Why we need open discussions, healthy debates, and critical thinking.
• Why body image issues are often manifestations of living out of alignment with one's true self.
• Their insight on how being successful and maintaining a certain lifestyle or body type often requires an 'extreme' or highly intentional lifestyle, thus challenging the social fear around the term 'extreme'.
• And so much more.
