Why Calm Feels Uncomfortable: Breaking the Chaos Cycle in Emotional Eating

In this episode, Alana dives into the surprising comfort many of us find in chaos, especially when it comes to healing our relationship with food. She explores why, for so many women, crisis mode can feel safer than calm, and why stability and ease might actually trigger discomfort or even self-sabotage. Alana shares personal experiences, client stories, and powerful insights into the cycle of emotional eating, the allure of starting over, and our deep-rooted addiction to survival mode. She unpacks the difference between self-awareness and true healing, highlighting the importance of both self-compassion and self-responsibility. 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?
