Trigger Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders, disordered relationships with food, and holiday diet culture. We also use humor and sarcasm while tackling this serious topic, so please proceed mindfully.
Recorded under the grounding Taurus full moon- perfect for releasing old habits and embracing food freedom - this episode is all about rediscovering food as a source of nourishment, connection, and culture. Amanda shares her journey of growing up with an “almond mom” in a quintessentially American household, where food was more function than fun, and how it led to binge eating in college. Jessa opens up about chasing aesthetic trends through restrictive eating, her extreme 11-day fast, and the lingering challenges she faces today.
Together, we unpack the emotional triggers, societal pressures, family dynamics, and how to set boundaries around food conversations that don’t serve your mental health. We explore shifting from emotional eating to intuitive eating and rediscovering the joy in celebrating food as nourishment, connection, and culture.
