21: 3 Food Mindsets Sabotaging Your Health Goals

Women can find themselves struggling when it comes to food and exercise. Not because they don’t know enough. Not because they’re lazy or weak. But because of the cultural mindsets that sneak in and run the show. In this episode of Talking with Emma, I unpack three of the most common food mindsets that sabotage women’s health goals: All-or-nothing thinking — why perfectionism keeps you swinging between being “on track” or spiralling into “I blew it.”The “what’s wrong with me?” question — how t...

20: Food Addiction - A Different Perspective

This week on Talking with Emma, I’m diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics in the health world: food addiction. But instead of recycling the same old narratives, I’m offering a different lens — one that cuts through the confusion, the shame, and the pseudoscience. We’re pulling apart what people really mean when they say they feel addicted to food — and why that feeling is often more about cultural conditioning, restriction, and stigma than about the food itself. If you've eve...

19: Eating Your Feelings Isn’t Failure — It’s a Sign Your Biology Is Working

Today, we’re flipping the script on emotional eating. I’m saying what most wellness advice won’t: Eating your feelings isn’t a personal failure. It’s actually your biology doing its job. In this episode, we look at why food is such an effective (and totally sane) way our bodies seek calm after stress, and how cultural conditioning has layered shame, fear, and perfectionism on top of that very human behaviour. I break down the powerful cultural forces that taught us to see emotional eating as ...

17: Why I Don’t Coach Mindset or Body Love

You’ve been told that changing your mindset and loving your body will stop the food and body noise. But those messages, well-meaning as they are, may have been keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’m diving into why I don’t coach mindset—and why I don’t teach body love either.
