Why That Balanced Girl⢠exists
Hi you :) I went on my very first diet in my early 20s and although Iâd never struggled before, I suddenly fell into a decade-long battle between food and my body.
During those years, not a night went by where I didnât promise myself Iâd be better tomorrow. And there were only a few mornings where I wouldnât wake up with regrets, trying to stay hopeful, thinking: new day, new chance. Most of the time, I would either diet or completely let loose and eat all I was obsessing about - as long as it was âallowed.â
When I finally broke that cycle in 2021, I couldnât believe how I had forgotten how simple eating could actually be. That you could easily say no to a brownie at the office, or say yes and enjoy it - without guilt or second-guessing your choice.
Over the past five years, after publishing an ebook, creating a course, and working with women one-on-one, I realized something important: it doesnât matter how long someone has struggled with food, or how they got here.
Although I personally didnât struggle as a child, Iâve worked with women whose battles started at 10 or in their teenage years. Our stories may differ - but the way out of this tends to be surprisingly similar.
Body mistrust in eating is common - but that doesnât mean we have to accept it.
the Tbg StoryOne of the main reasons I created That Balanced Girl⢠is because I saw how normal it has become to distrust our bodies around food.
We talk about âguilty pleasures,â or having to compensate because we âoverdid itâ on the weekend - as if this way of thinking were neutral. Relying on rules, trackers, and external systems to justify eating has become standard.
Guilt around certain foods isnât questioned anymore - itâs expected. And thatâs the problem.
Weâre all born intuitive eaters. Eating was never meant to be managed, or morally judged. But diet culture - and an entire industry built on controlling food - has shifted our perception so much that we no longer recognize this guilt as abnormal.
Itâs like breathing through a ventilator and calling it normal, while forgetting that the body was designed to breathe on its own.
That Balanced Girl⢠exists to reverse that - to make trusting your body when you eat feel normal again. Because eating can be as uncomplicated as taking a shower: necessary, ordinary and not something that needs constant mental management.
That Balanced Girl was shaped through years of workâŚ
My earlier resources, like my book, helped many women heal their relationship with food. But it was in working closely with women one on one, week after week, that I learned how change needs to be practiced in real life - especially when it came to facing body change fears whilst rebuilding trust around food.
Over time, I realized this way of working was extremely effective, but not scalable. Not every woman can invest in private coaching, and I couldnât take on more clients without compromising the depth of the work.
So I asked myself: how could this be adapted for everyone - without women needing to spend thousands of dollars, and without losing what actually creates change?
Thatâs why I created TBG: a space that makes trusting your body accessible, practical, and affordable.
You see countless apps that track calories or steps, or help you journal about your future life - but nothing for now - to help you know what to do with the thoughts that make you feel guilty for enjoying a cappuccino with full-fat milk instead of almond milk.
That Balanced Girl exists for the now. A space that is with you in the moment, and helps you change those thoughts, the fears, and most importantly, helps you rebuild safety in your body, step by step.
So after years of coaching women, I built a space that does exactly that: normalizing trust in your body when it comes to eating.
