The Growth Over Fear Podcast
Building a Healthy Relationship with Food & Exercise | Jennifer K., Dochas Mindful Counseling
In this episode, I’m joined by Jenn Kirkpatrick, a licensed counselor and yoga instructor, to talk about something so many women quietly struggle with — low self-esteem and how to work through a unhealthy food and exercise relationship. We explore how these patterns develop, how they’re connected to our sense of worth, and what healing actually looks like.
Whether you’ve ever felt guilt around eating, pressure to always “do more,” or like your value depends on your body — this conversation is here to help you shift from control to compassion.
✨ You’ll learn:
- Subtle signs of disordered eating and overexercising
- How self-esteem plays a powerful role in recovery
- Simple tools to reconnect with your body and feel more at peace
When we make the choice to come to therapy, it is a choice to start to work with our own experiences, past and present, so that we can move forward and create a compassionate home within ourselves where we can heal, grow, and live a life aligned with our highest values. Jennifer's therapeutic style includes patience, respect, client-driven care, and interventions that are tailored to the needs of the Client and presentation of the moment. She holds many specialized yoga trainings include the following: Yoga Nidra (Levels I and II), Yin Yoga, Anusara/Alignment Based Practices, Power/Vinyasa Practices, Restorative Practices, and Prenatal Yoga.
Jennifer is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor Credentialed at the LAC (Licensed Addiction Counselor) and LPCC level (Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate) levels. She also has Clinical experience working in Addiction and Recovery outpatient treatment in individual and group settings. She has experience working with individuals experiencing mental health struggles such as anxiety, depression, trauma work, and building/re-building life skills. She owns her own Private Practice located in Parker, CO.
