Happy Satiated Saturday! I find the missing piece that is under-discussed about food freedom is that it's about you feeling empowered to make your own food decisions. This means that sometimes you say no to certain foods or drinks because they don't make you feel the way you want to feel. Saying no does not correlate to a lack of freedom. Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. This means that true food freedom is you choosing what is best for you with food not based on anyone else's opinions, perspectives, or suggestions. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I talk with Melissa McCreery, who is a psychologist, emotional eating expert, and author, about what food freedom is, what hidden hungers are, overeating as a habit you can outgrow, and the importance of pausing and slowing down to alter your ability to show up with food differently, and the phases of food healing.You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/end-overeatingIf you missed my announcement on my social media channels, I have put my Somatic Eating® Intensive on sale for 30% off for Mother's Day, coupon code DESERVE30, until midnight on Tuesday, May 14th.
