Welcome back to Part 2 of our two-part series breaking down the 10 biggest myths keeping you stuck in emotional eating and weight struggles.

In this episode, I share the last 5 myths that are quietly shaping your mindset, leading you to guilt, food obsession, and disconnection from your body and ultimately weight gain. These myths aren’t just keeping you from losing weight — they’re stopping you from finding peace, self-trust, self-love and freedom with food.

You'll learn how emotional healing, trauma, diet culture, and childhood food rules have conditioned you to feel unworthy or out of control — and how to finally flip the script. Plus, I share action steps for each myth to help you rebuild your relationship with food, stop self-sabotaging, and reclaim your health from the inside out.

Whether you’re struggling with guilt around sugar, feeling like you “can’t stop,” or still holding onto clean plate club rules from childhood, this episode gives you permission to start healing without perfection — and tools to begin practicing new, empowering habits today.
