Episode 85: Adina Kelman (she/hers), Certified Health Coach, talks the language of diet culture and the complexities of motivation
Catherine and Francis are thrilled to welcome Adina Kelman to the podcast. Adina brings a wealth of insight and knowledge to the platform, discussing everything from the language of diet culture and how to approach managing it through an educational lens, to understanding motivation as a complex spectrum rather than a generalization. She also shares pieces of her personal narrative, including her relationship with yoga, which ultimately sent her down a path in recovery. It took Adina years to build the confidence and tools she needed to begin this journey. Since then, Adina has founded A Life In Balance, focused on her deep commitment to and passion for anyone who finds themselves in a constant battle with food. She strives to help individuals find food freedom and harness the tools needed to find liberation from the oppressive nature of diet culture. We really appreciated her vulnerability, sense of humor, and insight during this conversation. We hope you enjoy!
