In this episode of The Anti Diet Life, Leah Hortin sits down with Mimi Lindsey, a semi-retired attorney and avid hiker, to discuss her transformative journey with body acceptance, intuitive eating, and becoming a through hiker on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). Mimi shares her experiences of thinking about food differently when you have to pack it in yourself and how she prepared both physically and mentally for the challenges of long-distance hiking.
