Nap Time Conversations with Look Beneath the Surface

Undoing the Guilt Loop Around Food


Listen Later

In this episode, Nathan and I dive into a big one—unpacking the guilt loop so many of us carry around food. We talk about how the diet industry shapes the way we think, eat, and relate to our bodies, and how easy it is to lose trust in ourselves along the way.

We explore the difference between emotional eating and simply being under-fueled, why even people who know what to do still feel stuck, and how it's often not a lack of discipline—but a disconnection from your body, unhealed patterns, and a mindset shaped by years of pressure and perfectionism.

We talk about what it really looks like to rebuild that trust with your body, learn to understand its hunger and fullness cues, and let go of the shame that's been weighing you down. This isn't about doing it all perfectly—it's about finally feeling safe in your body again and learning how to listen to it with compassion.

This episode is raw, honest, and full of those "wait, me too?" moments. If you've been trying to eat better but keep feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or defeated—this conversation is here to remind you that you're not broken, and you're not alone.
