On this episode of Eat Girl Eat we’re joined by Patricia Joyce, an anxiety and clutter coach, intuitive energy practitioner, and podcast co-host of Our Imperfect Life. Patricia operates under the same coaching philosophy that I use to support my clients with food freedom, and she uses it to support individuals struggling with anxiety.

During the episode, Patricia shares her struggles so openly and authentically. Through her own experiences and growth, she now recognizes what it means to be human. It was unexpected, but there was a moment of reverse coaching during the episode where I had my own “a ha” moment.
