In this episode, I explore how the need for control often sits beneath food rules, restriction, over productivity, and burnout.

Sharing how control has shown up throughout my life; from my eating disorder, fear of rest days, and hyper fixation on goals.. to big dreams like becoming a Rockette, building my business and navigating current dreams too 

We talk about why controlling food or productivity can feel comforting when the future feels uncertain and what’s actually helped me let go of that grip in a way that supports both my mental health and my dreams 🫶🏼

If you’ve ever felt impatient, overwhelmed, or afraid to slow down because it feels like your future depends on it.. glad you found this episode!

today’s episode naturally leads into a concept I talk about often with clients: conscious eating

I walk you through what conscious eating really means to me, how it differs from intuitive eating, and why I find it to be a more supportive, confidence-building approach.

we’ll break conscious eating down into three parts, and also talk through:

-why “feeling good” includes both vegetables and dessert-the fine line between gentle nutrition and food rules

-how to experiment with food without labeling it as “good” or “bad”

-honoring hunger, even if your cues feel confusing or inconsistent

-why it’s okay to overeat sometimes

-how comparison steals you away from yourself

at the heart of this episode is the reminder that health is about intention, not perfection, and that controlling food has never actually led to feeling good, no matter how much we were told it would.

and of course, zooming out and realizing that being intentional goes beyond food; being intentional with social anxiety, comparison, and the choices we make every day. This episode is a reminder that you are so much more than what you eat

This week, I’m joined by my friend Rachel - someone I’ve wanted on the podcast since before it even had a name 🥲We’re basically the same person, we have endless deep conversations, and today we finally recorded one. We talk about food, identity, vulnerability, and the roles we used to cling to; asking each other the kinds of questions we wish someone had asked us years ago. 

If you’ve ever struggled with being the “healthy friend,” tying your worth to what you do, or you are figuring out who you are outside of old identities, this episode is for you 💌

In this episode, I am talking you through how to create an intentional, supportive plan for thanksgiving so you can feel calm, confident, and grounded around food. I share how my own approach to thanksgiving has shifted from scarcity and stress to ease and empowerment, through my eating disorder, recovery, and now. 

You’ll learn how to plan for the day in a way that supports how you want to feel - from eating throughout the day, choosing safe & challenge foods, staying present, managing comparison, navigating fullness, and letting yourself enjoy the holiday without guilt or overthinking.

We also cover what NOT to do, why restriction never works, how to step out of the binge/restrict cycle, and all of my favorite reframes to help you through it. 

-thanksgiving journal prompts to dive a little deeper 

-register here for the Holiday Healing Hour: a one hour, free masterclass for those who want to feel calm, confident, and guilt free around food this holiday season

In this episode, I’m diving into the negative thoughts that fuel guilt, anxiety, and stress around food and exercise - and how to actually debunk them. I start with the beliefs I personally struggled with, like thinking I had to eat less on rest days, or that carbs were only for before workouts. Then, I walk through the thoughts you all sent me and share simple ways to reframe them so they no longer hold you back.

We’ll cover things like:

-why you don’t need to “burn off” your food

-the truth about snacks and “earning” meals

-feeling frustrated with weight gain but still battling thoughts

-fear of fullness and losing permission to eat later

-why recovery is possible for anyone

If these debunks resonate with you, my Food Freedom Kickstart course was made for you. It’s a 2-week, step-by-step program to help you start healing your relationship with food through video modules, journal prompts, mindful eating practices, and fear food challenges.

in this episode, my mom and I sit down (for the first time ever) to talk about my eating disorder. My mom shares her perspective of my ed, what she wishes other parents knew, and how this experience has shaped her both as a parent and as a person.

whether you’re a parent supporting a child through an eating disorder, someone in recovery yourself, or simply curious about what this journey looks like from the outside in, this conversation is one you can take in yourself - or send to someone in your support circle. 

we talk about: 

-the early signs to tell something isn’t right

-what helped her support me, without trying to “fix” me

-misconceptions she had about eating disorders before living through it

-what other parents should know to be able to help their child (or any support/relationship) 

-what someone who has been through an ed wants their parents to know 

I know there are people who may not have support from their parents, from anyone in their life, and if that is you, I hope you know you have me 🫶🏼
