In your 20s, food isn’t just food. It’s comfort. Control. Escape. Identity. And for so many girls trying to get their health and confidence back, it becomes noise—a constant loop of guilt, cravings, restriction, and obsession.

In this episode of Navigating Your 20s, we’re unpacking the truth behind food noise and why your relationship with food might feel so overwhelming right now. We dive into the psychology behind your cravings, the role of dopamine in your everyday choices, and why so many high-achieving women feel trapped in cycles of “eating clean” one day and spiraling the next.

You’ll learn how stress, burnout, and perfectionism in your 20s drive you toward quick dopamine hits from food — and why traditional dieting only makes it worse. Most importantly, you’ll hear how to quiet the noise, build new reward pathways, and finally create a relationship with food that’s rooted in freedom, not fear.

If you’ve ever felt like food is always on your mind — and you’re ready to get your energy, body, and life back — this episode will be a game changer. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about becoming the version of you who feels free.
