In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Kez sits down with Stef Jung, Intuitive Eating Health Coach, who shares the unseen layers of her journey through anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, a path shaped by a nomadic childhood, and the disconnect she felt while living in the polished world of Dubai. What begins as a conversation about food becomes a much bigger story of identity, vulnerability, and coming home to the body.

Stef opens up about the moments that brought her to her knees, the rock bottoms that cracked her open, and the surprising places where support and love found her. Stef walks us through the turning points that led her toward healing: journaling as a lifeline, her relationship that mirrored all the places she was hiding, and the shift into Intuitive Eating Health Coaching, where she now guides others through their own reconnection with food, self-worth, and embodiment.

Together we explore the emotional roots beneath eating patterns, how mindset, intuitive eating, and nervous system attunement reshape our relationship with nourishment. This episode is an invitation into compassion, honesty, vulnerability and the radical power of recognising the moment you have had enough of your own suffering, and choosing to face the pain and make different, self-respecting decisions.
