Have you ever reached for a bag of chips when you're anxious, or a bowl of mac and cheese when you're craving comfort? You're not alone. Food and emotions are deeply connected, often in ways we aren't fully conscious of.

For over 30 years, I was trapped in the relentless cycle of dieting, struggling with the toxic influences of diet culture, negative body image, and the pressures of exercise culture. This trifecta led me into a whirlpool of disordered eating, which disrupted my natural ability to listen to my body’s needs and damaged my relationship with food and movement.

Have you ever caught yourself munching on a snack while checking emails or watching your favorite show? We’ve all been there, caught up in the whirlwind of life, trying to do a million things at once.

Ever found yourself knee-deep in a bag of chips or drowning in a sea of peanut butter cups without even realizing how you got there? Yeah, been there, done that.
