Something happened on my recent trip to Europe that caught me off guard. I found myself feeling… off — edgy, a little “crunchy,” not my usual lighthearted self. It would’ve been easy to brush it off or stuff those feelings down with food like I used to, but instead, I did something different. In this episode, I share what unfolded next — and how one small moment of awareness turned tension into connection. If you’ve ever wondered how emotional awareness can transform your relationship with food and the people you love, you’ll want to hear this story.
