In today's episode of The Mindful Balance, we're stepping into the heart of our relationship with food, challenging the chains of overeating, emotional eating, and binge eating. It's an invitation to those who've ever found themselves promising, "I'll start a diet on Monday," only to feel trapped in a cycle of doubt and self-sabotage.
