“I spent years in therapy and my relationship with food was never touched,” says Jessica Procini, former ballet dancer and fashion industry professional turned emotional eating coach. “But it really is causing a lot of chaos in peoples’ relationships with food and their health.” Procini, who is the founder of Escape from Emotional Eating, opens up to host Lesley Jane Seymour about how her own struggles with food began at the tender age of six and evolved into a quest for healing. Learn her insights into the generational patterns of emotional eating, her approach to identifying and addressing these patterns, and how capturing data about our eating experiences and engaging in candid conversations can help us uncover the underlying issues. Whether you're grappling with your relationship with food or seeking inspiration to reinvent any aspect of your life, this conversation provides invaluable wisdom for transformative journeys.
