Ep503: LA Fires and Feelings

The recent Southern California fires have me feeling the feels. In this episode, I talk about where I’m putting those feelings, and how I’m dealing with the grief our whole city feels. As emotional eaters, we have two choices: face the feelings, or numb them with food. Here’s how we do the former, and begin to change our lives, as a result.

    • Reflections on the impact of the Los Angeles fires and personal grief.
    • The importance of honoring emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them.
    • Tools for processing emotions: writing, talking, prayer, and connecting with others.
    • Support from the Heal Your Hunger community—how sharing feelings eases the burden.
    • Encouragement to lean on others for support in difficult times.

    Practical Advice:

    • Avoid unhealthy distractions like overeating, binge-watching, or overworking.
    • Learn to coexist with challenging emotions without letting them overwhelm you.
    • Develop healthy coping mechanisms to deal with grief and sadness.
