In this deliciously honest episode of Transform Your Life, Teresa and Tonya take listeners back into the kitchen—and back to the root of why food and feelings are so deeply connected. As they whip up high-protein, low-carb chaffles with Devotion Nutrition, they reflect on the emotional weight that used to come with every bite.

From the shame of eating in secret to the guilt around eating in public, they share what food used to mean to them—comfort, punishment, and control—and how they’ve transformed that mindset. This episode isn’t just about chaffle recipes (though they share some seriously tasty ones)—it’s about releasing the idea that food equals failure, and rebuilding your relationship with eating from the inside out.

Whether you're post-op, on GLP-1s, or just trying to love yourself through the chaos, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to nourish their body and soul at the same time.
