💡 Key Takeaways from Kimberly

💡Your body is wise—learning to listen to it is key.
Kimberly explains that many women are taught to ignore their hunger cues and rely on external rules. The first step toward healing is tuning back into your own body’s signals.

💡Diet culture disconnects us from our intuition.
Constant dieting and food rules create fear and confusion around eating. Instead of following rigid plans, ask yourself what truly nourishes and satisfies you.

💡Emotions and eating are deeply connected.
Food is not just fuel—it’s tied to comfort, memory, and emotions. Instead of judging emotional eating, get curious about what your body is actually asking for.

💡Control isn’t the answer—trust is.
The more we try to control our eating, the more disconnected we become from our bodies. Healing is about trusting that your body knows what it needs when given the chance.

💡Healing your relationship with food is a process.
It won’t happen overnight, but small, daily shifts can bring moreease, peace, and pleasure into your eating habits.
