In this free 3-part training, you'll learn HOW to break free of food guilt and rules that are fueling your binge eating & chaotic relationship with food.

In the next 3 podcast episodes, we're going to cover:

1. Clarity on why you experience food guilt in the first place (it's not as obvious as you think!)
2. How food guilt is CAUSING your binge eating
3. Why telling yourself "don't' feel guilty" doesn't work and what you actually need to do to stop feeling guilty!
4. How to effectively identify and free yourself from food guilt and rules - so eating feels peaceful and in control, binge-free!

Let's get started with part 1! Here's what we are diving into in this podcast episode:

• Understanding how guilt is created and conditioned into your brain and saved as emotional memory
• How food guilt inserted itself into your eating experience.
• As well as why you experience food guilt despite trying to convince yourself not to feel guilty.

Because in order to heal something and overcome it, you first need to understand it.

In this training you'll understand your food guilt in a groundbreaking way!

I haven't seen anyone talk about food guilt in this way and from this perspective and it will blow your mind (seriously, you'll have a whole bunch of light bulbs turn on!) and help you remove the soul sucking guilt from your life - effectively.

Ayala had been on diets since she was a kid. Ever since she can remember, her mother was worried about her weight and she'd grown up with the feeling that her body size was a problem.

Up until the birth of her first child, she was endlessly stressing about food and the scale, trying one diet after the next. Until she reached a breaking point.

She no longer wanted to focus on all the things she can't have, being mean to herself, and constantly stressing about food and her size.

She was ready to focus on all the things she CAN do to feel her best.

So it was fate when she found Rachel's instagram and discovered that there is indeed a way to improve your health, and peace of mind, through having a healthy relationship with food.

She knew she needed 1:1 support to help her filter through all the dieting noise and negative body image narratives she had accumulated over the years. She proceeded to work with Rachel for 4 months.

Three and a half years later, she joins me on the podcast to share her personal journey to food peace and authentic health, what that journey was like for her, while sharing tips and insights to help and encourage you on yours.

In this episode we cover:

• How being put on a diet as a child impacted her relationship with food, body image, and self esteem
• How she learned to slow down enough to honor her hunger, and how she continues to do so as a busy mom of 2
• Why she pushed off going to the doctor to examine her health and how she discovered her weight was a symptom of her underlying health condition.
• How she manages her health condition without dieting
• What helps her manage her emotional eating in ways that best benefit her
• Her approach to body acceptance
• Realistic expectations of what it looks and feels like to heal your relationship with food and body image even when it's not perfect
