Podcast Episode #3 Decoding Emotional Eating-Understanding the Triggers and Finding Freedom

Kendra dives into the complexities of emotional eating based on her own experiences-what it is, why it happens, and how to break free.
Sharing personal experiences from her own 15-year struggle with bulimia and binge eating, Kendra explores the emotional triggers behind the behavior and offers practical tools to create food freedom.
You’ll learn how stress, boredom, and loneliness can drive emotional eating and how mindful practices, heart connection, and self-compassion can help you build a healthier relationship with food and yourself.
✨ Takeaways:
Emotional eating is driven by emotions, not hunger.
Common triggers include stress, loneliness, and boredom.
Mindfulness helps recognize automatic behaviors and patterns around food.
Self-compassion is key to breaking the cycle of guilt and shame.
Food can serve as a comfort but may not solve underlying issues.
Food reflects emotional needs but doesn’t address the root issues.
Building a healthier relationship with food takes time and care.
Connecting with your heart can reveal what you’re truly craving.
Daily check-ins with oneself can foster emotional awareness.
Understanding emotions can help break the cycle of emotional eating.
🎙️ Key Message: Emotional eating isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s a call for deeper self-care and connection with your heart.
