If you’ve ever thought, “I know what intuitive eating is, so why does food still feel chaotic?” you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m unpacking the hidden barriers that make intuitive eating feel impossible, burnout, emotional disconnection, and body image struggles. You’ll hear real client stories, learn why capacity matters more than discipline, and discover how to reconnect with your body without turning it into another set of rules. If food freedom feels just out of reach, this conversation will help you see that the problem isn’t you, you might just need a softer, more compassionate start.
In this episode, you will hear:
- 01:44 – A client’s story of exhaustion, burnout, and turning to food for comfort
- 02:52 – What attunement really means and why it requires emotional and physical capacity
- 04:03 – How chronic stress dampens your ability to notice hunger and fullness cues
- 07:39 – The role of emotional literacy in healing your relationship with food
- 10:16 – Challenging deep-seated beliefs about weight, worth, and “health”
- 13:12 – My free “When You Can’t Tell If You’re Really Hungry” flow chart and how it helps you pause with compassion
