A story of calm confidence, healing, and letting go of perfection.

Episode #233

What happens when you stop chasing perfection and start trusting your body? In this heartfelt conversation, Audrey shares with Coach Lisa how she moved from fear and confusion to calm confidence by embracing nourishment, community, and self-compassion.

Audrey's journey reminds us that fasting isn't just about hours — it's about listening to your body, releasing perfectionism, and keeping "a hand on the wagon," even when life gets messy.

What you'll learn:

Why fasting alone wasn't enough for Audrey
The mindset shift that helped her release perfectionism
How she advocated for herself through confusing medical advice
The practices that improved her sleep, confidence, and cardiac markers
How she navigates social eating, travel, and cravings with ease
