Today, I talk about emotional eating from a place of awareness and compassion, not shame or control.

Emotional eating is not a flaw. It is a coping strategy, shaped by experience and pressure from toxic diet culture. I share why awareness matters more than willpower, how emotions move through the body, and how small moments of noticing can interrupt the diet-binge cycle.

Listen to this episode if you are stuck in chronic dieting, food guilt, or the comparison trap created by unrealistic beauty standards.

💚 TRY THIS

When emotional eating shows up, pause and notice what is happening underneath. Ask what emotion is here and what thought is fueling it. Name it without judgment. Awareness gives you a choice.
