In this episode, Alana dismantles a popular myth: awareness alone changes nothing. You can understand why you overeat, restrict, or self-sabotage—and still repeat the pattern. Why? Because intellectual insight doesn’t reach the nervous system.
Through compassionate teaching and real-life examples, she shows you how to cross the gap from analysis to embodiment—how to stay with sensations, build safety in your body, and act from your higher self (not from panic). Expect grounded tools, elegant reframes, and a direct path out of the shame loop. When awareness opens the door, integration walks you through it.
