Through her personal experiences and professional insights, she explains how scarcity — often linked to money and tangible resources — can manifest as a deep-seated belief system affecting our relationship with food. Alana outlines how this mindset can lead to behaviors like pre-eating, hoarding food, and the compulsion to join the “clean plate club”. She emphasizes the importance of shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset to foster a healthier relationship with food. Listen in as Alana guides you through actionable steps and reflection exercises to help transform their mindset, paving the way for lasting change and healing.
