Hey, hey! I’m so glad you’re here. Today’s episode is a tender and eye-opening one because we’re talking about something that sneaks into so many of our lives without us even realizing it — self-sabotaging with food. If you’ve ever had a moment where you’re doing well, feeling strong, and then suddenly find yourself eating in a way that totally goes against what you want for yourself… you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m getting real about how self-sabotage often isn’t about food at all. It’s about emotional patterns, unspoken needs, and sometimes… a fear of what happens when things do go well. Yep — success and safety can feel scary when we’ve never truly had them. But the good news? You don’t have to stay in that loop.
One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when I talk about what it really means to connect with your soul — not through a routine or a list, but through the simple act of being present with yourself, even for two minutes. I also share a sweet bedtime practice that’s helped me rewrite my mornings, and a breathwork tool you can use anytime you feel a craving or spiral coming on.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✨ The Real Reason Behind Self-Sabotage with Food: It’s not about willpower—it’s about protection. Let’s explore the emotional root.
✨ Why We Need to Connect with Our Soul First: I share a simple practice that reconnects you with the you behind the cravings.
✨The Power of a Love Note Before Bed: One tiny bedtime habit that transforms how you feel in the morning.
✨Two Minutes to Come Back to You: Learn an easy way to reset using your breath, nature, and stillness.
✨Compassion Over Shame: This isn’t about blaming the past. It's about learning, forgiving, and moving forward with love.
So take a deep breath, grab your headphones, and settle in with me. This episode is your reminder that every time you choose love over fear — even in the smallest moment — you’re breaking old cycles and stepping into the version of you that’s been waiting all along.
💛 You don’t need to earn peace with food. You just need to remember that you’re already worthy of it. Let’s dive in.
