Thanksgiving is a time for family, traditions, and joy, but it can also stir up food anxiety, guilt, and old cycles of shame. In this episode, I share three gentle reframes to help you approach the holiday table with food freedom and self‑trust: listening to your hunger cues, giving yourself permission to enjoy the foods you love, and releasing the idea of “good” and “bad” foods. Along the way, I offer personal stories, practical tools like the Hunger Scale, and a reminder that gratitude can soften food anxiety. This episode is your invitation to break the cycle, choose freedom, and experience Thanksgiving with peace and presence.
