In this episode, Alana explores the quiet, unseen reasons food can feel like a loyal friend — especially during emotional highs and lows. Through personal reflection and client stories, she reveals how unmet needs for safety and self-support often drive women to seek refuge in food, control, or perfection.With clarity and compassion, Alana guides listeners through the process of building an inner ally — the mature, grounded voice that offers agency instead of impulse, calm instead of control.Each pause, each micro moment of self-care becomes a step toward self-trust — and the freedom to finally feel safe in your own company.Enter the giveaway to receive a 1:1 private session with Alana by DMing a screenshot of your review @bewellbyak on Instagram or emailing as [email protected]!Leave us a voice message for our next Q&A episode!Invisible Weight DetoxAn introduction to the Sober Eating Movement that finally gets your body and mind working together so you can lose weight and keep it off.
