Summary

In this episode, Jenn Hand—food and eating coach—and I talk about food rules and their sneaky tendency to create perfectionistic thinking and chaos with food. We dive deep into the practical ways you can let go of rules and "shoulds" with food and instead find ways to feed yourself in ways that are both satisfying and nourishing. We talk about the importance of awareness of your true intentions as you begin this process. We outline some things you can do today to start moving toward food freedom and give practical ways you can re-frame your food rules and rigid thinking.
