The ‘Girl Dinner’ Trend: A Mirror to Burnout and Emotional Eating

In this episode, Alana dives into the viral “girl dinner” trend and explores its deeper implications on women’s relationship with food, body image, and self-care. Alana unpacks how what seems like a quirky, low-effort snack plate can actually be a reflection of burnout, decision fatigue, and emotional exhaustion. She discusses how girl dinner is less about food and more about autonomy, protest, and the hidden desire for comfort amid overwhelm. Alana encourages listeners to look beneath the surface of these fragmented meals, questioning whether they truly nurture us or simply mask deeper unmet needs.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?
