About Event

What if beauty wasn’t how we looked at ourselves, but how we fed each other? What if nourishment was a form of justice, and a path back to belonging?

This September, in honor of National Nutrition Month, we gather to explore the deeper dimensions of nourishment: not just what we eat, but how food connects us to culture, memory, and collective care. 

Join us in our Heal & Lead Circle for “The Unbound Beauty,” as we reflect on how our relationships with food have been shaped by systems of control — body image, access, cultural erasure — and how reclaiming those relationships can support healing, equity, and joy. Together, we’ll reimagine health as something shared, not siloed — rooted in community, sustained by care, and expressed through the everyday rituals that feed us.

This is a free online community event! If you feel moved, we invite you to make an optional donation to SeekHer Foundation. Your kindness will help support our non-profit initiatives to bridge the gender gap of mental health and power more women for the greater good.

Meet Your Guide

Mia Donley, MPH, RDN, CDN (she/her) is a registered dietitian, educator, and consultant who is passionate about helping folks find peace with food and body while honoring their path and lived experience. Mia’s background in food access and public health adds to her lens on the systemic inequalities clients may face everyday. Her work focuses on folks who feel unseen yet hypervisible–those who live with undertreated chronic conditions, experience eating disorders and weight stigma, and identify as queer or neurodivergent in BIPOC communities. Mia works with clients in outpatient settings, consults with organizations on inclusive nutrition and education practices, and has taught cultural aspects of nutrition at MSU Denver.

​​About Heal & Lead Circles

Empowering women from different walks of life, Heal & Lead Circles are themed monthly guided experiences led by SeekHer Foundation. Through these circles, women heal, thrive, and develop leadership skills by building confidence and finding their voice. Together, we explore tools and practices that support women as they navigate specific roles, lived experiences and aspirations.

The Unbound Beauty – A confident and self-aware individual who challenges societal norms around beauty and body image, breaking free from limitations and societal pressures to embrace their own unique definition. They prioritize inner strength, self-acceptance, and celebrate the beauty in themselves and others.
