Are you constantly exhausted, stuck in survival mode, and wondering why burnout feels impossible to overcome? What if your constant fatigue and lack of motivation have less to do with willpower and more to do with your blood sugar? In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Banks, a former teacher turned health coach, who completely transformed her life by healing her relationship with food and ditching the all-or-nothing mindset. Laura shares her personal struggles with diets, sugar cravings, and shame, and how she finally found a sustainable way to get healthy and stay that way.
