You can eat the most “perfect” meal in the world… and still feel bloated, anxious, unsatisfied, and out of control. Why? Because it’s not just what you eat—it’s how you eat that shapes your experience with food (and your body).

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked truths in the wellness world: your mindset while eating matters just as much—if not more—than what’s on your plate. You’ll learn how eating from a place of stress, guilt, or control can actually shut down digestion, mess with your hunger cues, and keep you stuck in the binge-restrict cycle (even if the food looks “clean” on the outside).

I’ll walk you through:

  • The science behind why eating in a stressed state disrupts digestion, metabolism, and satisfaction
  • The biggest mistakes I used to make while eating—and how they kept me stuck in obsession, even with “healthy” food
  • The exact shifts I made to start eating in a calm, safe, connected way that allowed my body to actually heal
  • Five tangible practices you can try this week to stop multitasking meals, release food guilt, and feel grounded while you eat

If you’ve been “doing everything right” with food and still feel off in your body—this episode is going to give you the missing piece. Because food isn’t just physical. It’s emotional. And your body doesn’t just digest nutrients—it digests your beliefs, your fear, your urgency, and your shame.

✨ You don’t need a new meal plan. You need to feel safe in your body again.
