20. Conscious eating: choosing food with confidence (not control)


Listen Later

today’s episode naturally leads into a concept I talk about often with clients: conscious eating

I walk you through what conscious eating really means to me, how it differs from intuitive eating, and why I find it to be a more supportive, confidence-building approach.

we’ll break conscious eating down into three parts, and also talk through:

-why “feeling good” includes both vegetables and dessert-the fine line between gentle nutrition and food rules

-how to experiment with food without labeling it as “good” or “bad”

-honoring hunger, even if your cues feel confusing or inconsistent

-why it’s okay to overeat sometimes

-how comparison steals you away from yourself

at the heart of this episode is the reminder that health is about intention, not perfection, and that controlling food has never actually led to feeling good, no matter how much we were told it would.

and of course, zooming out and realizing that being intentional goes beyond food; being intentional with social anxiety, comparison, and the choices we make every day. This episode is a reminder that you are so much more than what you eat
