Life After Sugar

252. The link between self-esteem and sugar


Listen Later

In this episode, I explore the emotional side of sugar cravings, and how low self-esteem can quietly keep us stuck in the sugar cycle.

This episode was inspired by Patra, a member of my Freedom From Cravings Formula program.

Patra gave me permission to share a part of her background and how years of guilt, self-criticism, and “never feeling good enough” affected her self-esteem and shaped her relationship with food, especially sugar. 

You'll also hear about the scientific reason our brain naturally looks for short-term ways to feel better with sugar. 

But when you start replacing sugar with self-compassion, you can develop healthier ways to make peace with food... and yourself.

This episode is about letting go of perfectionism and realizing that you’re not broken — you’re human.
