E24 - Food Is Not a Reward, But You Still Deserve to Feel Good: How to rewire your brain to feel joy, celebration and comfort without food being the only source.

This one’s for the women who’ve ever said…

👉🏻 “I’ve been good today — I deserve a treat.”
👉🏻 “I just need something to look forward to.”
👉🏻 “Food is the only thing that feels nice right now.”

I see you. Because I’ve been you.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why food becomes our go-to reward, especially when life feels hard, chaotic, or just… meh.
And no, I’m not here to tell you “just find a hobby” or “replace it with a walk.” 🙄
This is real-life, lived-experience stuff.

We dive into:

Why we associate food with comfort, celebration, and survival
How diet culture has blurred the lines between reward and restriction
And the exact steps I walk my clients through to build a life where food is one joy, not the only one

I share real client breakthroughs, my own stories of turning to food for emotional safety, and what changed for me when I started to explore true nourishment emotional and physical.

✨ You don’t have to earn pleasure.✨ You don’t need to hit your step goal to deserve rest.✨ And you’re allowed to feel good even before you hit your target weight.

This one will help you build a life that feels full, so food doesn’t have to be the only thing that ever does.
