We’re back!
Today, we’re joined by Danielle Daem, a Sugar Freedom Coach & Speaker that helps women bust through sugar addiction so they can fully step into their power and regain control of their lives.
In case you missed it, go listen to Episode 54 of GGP for part one of this topic.
If you’re a driven, ambitious, woman - and have ever struggled with food cravings, addictions, binge eating, weight, digestive issues, low energy, body pain, hormonal imbalances, headaches, this is for you.
I am a self-described “foodie”, but in the last few months, I’ve realized I absolutely have an unhealthy relationship with food.
I’m not alone - and if you’re listening and can relate, neither are you. Honestly?
Maybe you’re also not even AWARE that you may have a broken relationship with food - heck, I’ve been focusing on personal growth for decades and I just figured this out.
I’ll give you a few concrete examples of where my relationship with food is not a simple one focused on health and nourishment.
Some of the things I’ve struggled with include:
Saying “yes” to food that someone offers me just to be nice, or make others happy, aka people pleasing.
Drinking alcohol to relax and be less socially awkward - Covid made me aware of that and helped me to heal this ironically.
Eating when I’m bored instead of hungry.
Eating as a reward or treat.
Eating for comfort - after my sleep test, I was tired and was going to go to a drive through automatically - and stopped myself after I noticed that my desire was not for food, but for comfort and rest. So I went home and napped later that day.
Being afraid there will be no food, so I overeat, or overpack food - an example of fear and scarcity overruling what my body actually needs
Maybe some of those examples resonate with you.
Or maybe you’ve got different stories and experiences to heal.
While I’m new on this journey of healing my relationship with food, today’s guest is not.
Danielle shares a TON more wisdom and suggestions to help you heal your relationship with food, and beyond.
In this episode you’ll hear:
How other cultures around the world view food and what we can take away from them to improve our health .
The impact stress has on our relationship with food and how that impacts our health… and not in the ways you normally hear it.
Scientifically what happens when you eat when you’re stressed.
How to be at peace with our food, and with ourselves - TRUTHBOMB!
You’ll learn tips for advocating for your own health in a system that typically doesn’t look at the “whole person” - and honestly isn’t set up for the type of support and nourishment most of us need and deserve.
Phrases you can use if you’re experiencing food shame or societal pressure to eat - or not eat - something to stay true to you and your body.
Danielle’s advice for staying balanced - how do you live life, AND drink the wine? What does this actually look like, and how can you integrate it into your life.
Listen up - things are about to get juicy - and oh-so applicable to your life and relationship with food.
Here are the juicy bits you can look forward to:
Why other cultures don’t have the same relationship North Americans do with food. (9:00)
How we can navigate a health system that doesn’t always value our innate wisdom. (22:45)
How to advocate for yourself in a system where it’s normal to feel unwell. (36:00)
How to show love to ourselves and our loved ones without sugar. (51:30)
