You swore off dieting, but…you still feel guilty eating “too much.” You secretly hope your daily walks will shrink your body. You find yourself getting on the scale “just to see.” Sound familiar? 

That’s diet culture’s grip - sneaky, insidious, and still influencing your choices, even in ways you don’t even realize.

In this 1st episode of a special 3-part series, I’m breaking down exactly how diet culture keeps you hooked, why it feels so hard to let go, and what you can do to start loosening its grip. We’ll talk about the hidden ways dieting still controls you, the fears that keep you stuck, and the freedom that’s possible on the other side.

If you’ve been half in, half out with intuitive eating and wondering why it’s not working, this episode is for you. It’s time to break free.

And in this series, I’m going to show you exactly how to do it.

Let’s unpack why it’s so hard to loosen your grip on diet rules, why you’re afraid to trust yourself, and how to step into true food freedom—without spiraling into chaos. If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through this journey, it’s time to let go and finally breathe.
