Our relationship with food has become more complex than ever. We are bombarded with conflicting advice, societal pressures, and the constant need to fit into a certain mold. But what if we could break free from these emotional entanglements and reclaim our power when it comes to what we eat? Imagine those times where we no longer feel guilty or ashamed about the choices we make, where we eat not out of a scarcity mindset but from a place of empowerment. It's time to shift our perspective and redefine the way we nourish our bodies and souls. In this episode we will explore the path towards one's spiritual journey. We will delve into the importance of freeing ourselves from the opinions of others and embracing our own unique choices. We will discover how to let go of the need to fill voids in our lives through food and instead make choices that truly empower us. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey towards a  more fulfilling relationship with food and connectedness to ourselves. It's time to embrace a new mindset and make choices that align with our truest selves.  “One critical step of the spiritual path involves reevaluating our relationship with our physical bodies and the food we consume in a world obsessed with appearances and diets. It's essential to move beyond the fixation of external appearances, recognizing that our bodies are vessels for our souls can lead to a healthier perspective on nourishment and self-care.” - Leslie Thornton  What you will learn from this episode: 01:09 - What it's like embarking on a spiritual journey 06:09 - One critical path to one's spiritual journey [what true liberation means] 09:53 - How emotional baggages can stop us from seeking true freedom [allowing emotions to flow versus suppressing them] 11:52 - Feel connected to yourself first and you will with others 14:09 - Ways to nurture your spiritual journey 15:32 - The 'initiation' that one goes through right before the start of a spiritual journey 18:12 - Stories that speak of a more liberating and fulfilled life free from emotional attachments and food fixation Connect With Leslie Thornton: Book A Clarity Call Watch Free Training Website Facebook LinkedIn Email: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com
