What If Your Relationship With Food Was Never The Problem?

A lot of women believe they have a problem with food. They tell themselves they have no willpower. That they should be more disciplined.
That they should be able to control it. But what if your relationship with food makes more sense than you’ve ever allowed yourself to believe?

In this episode, Carina explores why some women reach for food when life feels overwhelming, while others lose their appetite completely. On the surface, they couldn't look more different, yet both may be survival strategies.

Because sometimes food is not the problem. Sometimes it is the strategy survival found.

In this episode, we explore:
  • Why emotional eating isn't simply about willpower
  • Why anxiety can make eating feel almost impossible 
  • How food can become comfort, control, protection or relief 
  • Why survival repeats what once helped 
  • What becomes possible when shame is replaced with curiosity

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:

"Why can't I just eat normally?" "When I'm stressed, I completely lose my appetite." "What is wrong with me?"

This episode is for you.

Because maybe your relationship with food makes more sense than you've ever allowed yourself to believe.

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to continue the conversation through my weekly email.

Carina Bull is a trauma-aware facilitator, intuitive mentor, and host of Soul Medicine.

Every week, she invites listeners into the conversations she's already having with the women she works with. Conversations about survival, self-abandonment, emotional exhaustion, and what becomes possible when we begin seeing ourselves differently.

Her work helps women recognise the survival patterns they've mistaken for who they are, so they can remember who they were before survival taught them who they had to be.
