The Yours Chewly Podcast

Dear Listener,

Today on the pod we’re talking about a topic that I get a LOT of questions about…hello, “emotional eating!” Joining me in this episode is my good friend and colleague, Kelsey Flanagan. Kelsey is an ex-dieter turned life coach helping women end the war with food and their bodies so that they can thrive. She is the founder of Alive to Thrive and has a simple mission, “Stop Dieting. Start Living.”

In our conversation, we talk about normalizing “emotional eating,” why it even happens in the first place, and how we can use these experiences with food to help us deepen the relationship we have with ourselves.

To learn more from Kelsey, you can follow her on IG @kelsey_flanagan_, listen to her podcast, The LIFTUP Show, or check out her website https://www.kelseyflanagan.com/. Hope you enjoy the episode!

Yours Chewly,

Dear Listener,

Have you ever been in one of those food situations where someone won’t take “no” for an answer? Maybe your co-worker really wants to you try his “world famous” seven layer dip…or maybe grandma’s favorite way to say “I love you” is through her chocolate chunk cookies. Sure, part of your IE journey involves making peace with all foods you find satisfying and learning to enjoy them, guilt free, when in social settings. But did you know part of your IE journey also involves learning to speak your truth and communicate your needs? And sometimes, this may involve politely refusing food!

Whether your reason for refusing certain foods is due to an allergy, food preference, or simply because you’re already feeling comfortably full, I know that saying “no, thank you” can be uncomfortable sometimes. So join me in this solo episode to learn how to navigate these situations so that you can kindly and unapologetically honor what’s best for your body 😊
