🎧 On this episode of Everything's Messy Podcast I sit down with Laura Folkes as she flips the script and coaches me! If you've ever felt like you're stuck in a battle with food, this is the episode for you!

Laura shares her incredible journey of making peace with food after years of weight loss struggles and restrictive dieting. Her approach, called "Truce with Food," is all about digging deep and understanding the emotional triggers behind our food choices—and wow, did we dig deep today!

🍪 Highlights from this Episode:

• Laura’s personal story of losing 60 pounds but still feeling out of balance with food.
• How we can have a "truce" with food instead of constantly battling with willpower and restriction.
• My own revelation about why I sometimes rebel against food rules—yes, Laura totally coached me on this one!
• The emotional and psychological triggers behind our eating habits, like a need for belonging or feeling misunderstood (spoiler: it goes way deeper than cravings).
• How to make food an accessory to life, rather than the star of the show at every gathering.
• A powerful shift in mindset: learning when to rebel intentionally and when it might be costing you more than you think.

💡 Messy Moment of the Episode: We really shake up the snow globe on this one, as Laura says! You'll hear me get real about dealing with holiday food temptations and that constant "choose your hard" mentality, especially as a Type 1 Diabetic. The rebellion is real, and the struggle is messy, but as Laura shows me, there’s a way through it.
