In this episode of Something to Consider, we sit down with Arwa Al-Turkait—intuitive eating coach and certified eating disorder recovery coach—to explore the complex relationship we have with food, the voices we internalize, and the quiet courage it takes to heal.

This isn’t just a conversation about eating. It’s a conversation about control, shame, and the invisible rules that shape how we see ourselves—especially in cultures where worth is often tied to body image and discipline is mistaken for wellness.

Arwa opens up about her personal journey, the lies sold by diet culture, and the daily work of building body trust. We speak about intuitive eating as a framework for living with more flexibility, more awareness, and more self-respect—not just in how we eat, but in how we show up in our lives.

We unpack the idea of food as memory, the pressure of appearance, and the emotional weight of unspoken expectations—within ourselves and within our families. Most importantly, Arwa reminds us that recovery isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. And sometimes, the most radical act of self-love is learning to listen to your hunger without judgment.

If you’ve ever felt at war with your body, or if you’re unlearning what you were taught about food, beauty, and discipline—this episode offers a powerful reframe.We hope you’ll find something to consider.
