I love the audio! Normally, I'm a written word kinda girl but you are one of the few people whose spoken word resonates deeply for me.💜
As a teenager and 20 something, I learned from harsh experience that alcohol took me too far out of my body. This put me in unsafe situations. But food...food could also numb the emotional overwhelm while still leaving me largely in control of my personal safety. I'm recently understanding that I have a food addiction and I know I got here because I wanted to comfort myself, calm myself, smooth out the jagged emotions for decades. This led to an adult life of yo-yo dieting and body shame.
I'm at the "OK, what now?" phase. I'm aware of the problem and looking around for my next steps.
Thanks for the kind words. I love using my voice (in audio) to share teachings because it makes me feel like we are sitting together having a conversation.
These insights are powerful and come back to exactly that, self-awareness and conscious choices. When we really see how we are using these things, be it alcohol, food or anything else, we can then make more conscious choices. I'm also at the "Ok now what?" phase with alcohol. I don't yet know the answer but I'm listening deeply for guidance from my intuition.

Thank you for this musing!
