Michelle shares her journey out of long-standing debt and explains why lasting change doesn't come from willpower, but from understanding the emotional root beneath our choices. Lia and Michelle discuss why you can't abstain from food or money, how self-image shapes behavior, and what it means to repair the relationship instead of repeating the cycle. If you feel stuck, behind, or frustrated around food or finances, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a grounded way forward.
