How to Turn Solo Eating from Shameful Secret into Self-Love

In this episode, Alana dives deep into the often overlooked experience of eating alone, going beyond the glamorized images of solo dining often seen on social media. She unpacks the layers beneath solo eating—from the empowering act of taking yourself out to dinner to the more vulnerable reality of secret, shame-filled eating in private. Alana shares her personal reflections and the stories of women she’s worked with, highlighting the contrasts between public confidence and private discomfort. She explores how eating alone can be both an act of independence and a source of anxiety, depending on our relationship with food. Alana also offers listeners a new perspective on reclaiming solo dining by turning it into a ceremony of self-connection and intention, shifting away from secrecy or performance. Leave us a voice message for our next Q&A episode!Curious to learn more about working directly with Alana so that you can reconnect with your hunger and fullness cues, learn to eat whatever you want without rules, regulate your emotions and naturally lose weight so you can live with freedom and joy?
