1.8 Inherited Hunger: Disordered Eating, Nourishment Safety, and the Motherline

Disordered eating often begins long before our first conscious memory. In this episode, Tejal explores how nourishment can feel unsafe when we carry ancestral fear, maternal wounding, or nervous system patterns shaped by scarcity. She shares her personal experience with dysphoric milk ejection reflex - or so named by allopathy, but rarely understood in its full emotional, ancestral or somatic context. For Tejal, it opened an even deeper understanding of the motherline of feeding, being fed, and the fear of being depleted. This tender reflection on healing inherited hunger, resolving generational stories, and learning to trust the body as a place of receiving, resilience and renewal.
