In this episode, Alana explores how our relationship with food can serve as a powerful mirror for the way we show up in life. She invites listeners to examine their eating patterns – not just what they eat, but why – and how these patterns often reflect deeper motivations, unspoken needs, and personal boundaries in other areas of life. Through practical examples and client stories, Alana reveals how habits like late-night snacking or people-pleasing around food are often tied to chasing goals that aren’t truly ours or avoiding discomfort in everyday interactions. Tune in to discover how cultivating awareness around food can become a portal to creating a life you actually want to show up for.
