Live Unrestricted - The Intuitive Eating & Food Freedom Podcast

Most of us have been taught to live our lives according to what is the "right" or "wrong" thing to do. 
We look to others. We compare. We copy. We see something that's working for someone else, so we try to replicate it. 
But that keeps us disconnected from our own individuality. No two humans are designed the same. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to health, nutrition, movement, self-care, relationships, career, or really ANY area in our life. 
We're all unique. And the only way to create a life that lights you up - that makes sense for you, that feels good, that aligns with your purpose and your genetic makeup - is through your body and intuition. 
Your body has infinite wisdom, and it's always ready to communicate with you. But most of us have never been taught how to listen. 
So in this episode, I'm joining by Cassandra Bodziak - mindfulness author, holistic wellness guide, and the author of The Mindful Table - to talk about how to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and intuition after years of dieting, overriding yourself, and outsourcing trust to rules, plans, and “experts.”
You're going to learn:
Why intuition isn’t a personality trait but a skill you can relearn
How dieting trains you to override your body’s signals 
Why hunger, cravings, and fatigue are forms of communication, not problems to fix
Practical strategies to build trust with your body again
How food struggles soften when your body finally feels heard
If you’ve been wanting to stop outsourcing your life decisions and start trusting yourself, this conversation is for you.

If you’ve been trying to heal your relationship with food for years (or decades), and you’re still not where you want to be, this episode is for you. Because today we’re talking about a invisible belief that lives so deep, most women don’t even realize it’s running the show.
I dive into why your nervous system has built protective armor after years of false starts, “failed” diets, and the kind of hope that felt amazing… until it turned into disappointment, shame, and another Monday restart.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
The simple question that exposes your default future (and what it reveals about your subconscious beliefs)
Why your brain uses the past to predict the future, even when it keeps you stuck
The 6 sneaky ways the “I can’t change” belief sabotages your progressturning a hard day into “I failed”
filtering for proof you’re doing poorly (hello, RAS)
avoiding support or not fully implementing it
getting stuck in research mode instead of action mode
looking for a way out instead of getting curious
not allowing wins to actually sink in

The “guardian of your mind” that will delete, distort, or generalize your progress so it can stay right
Why this isn’t about motivation, it’s about safety (and the hot stove analogy you’ll never un-hear)
Journal prompts 
If the part of me that doesn’t believe change is possible could talk, what is she afraid would happen if I started to believe I could truly heal my relationship with food?
What do I secretly believe about myself and food that I’ve never said out loud (or never let myself fully look at)?

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I should eat more… so why does the idea of it freak me out?” this episode is for you.
Maybe you’re rigid with calories or portions. 
Maybe you’re constantly hungry, tired, or thinking about food.
Maybe you’re technically eating what you’ve been told is “enough,” but your body is saying otherwise.
And yet, when you even think about eating more, your chest tightens. Panic kicks in. Fear takes over.
In this episode, we’re talking about why that happens and why it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline.
I’m breaking down:
Why MOST women are not actually under-eating without knowing it
The two types of under-eating most women don’t realize they’re stuck in
Why not eating enough creates constant food noise, cravings, and exhaustion
The difference between knowing you need to eat more and actually being able to do it
Why your nervous system might interpret eating more as a threat
How control around food becomes a safety strategy
What actually helps you move through the fear without forcing yourself
If eating LESS has felt safer than eating enough…
This episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and how to begin creating safety with food again, so that you can:
→ Reduce food noise and constant hunger
→ Have more energy, focus and concentration
→ Reduce cravings and binges
→ Reduce brain fog
→ Meet your fitness goals 
 And overall, feel SO much better throughout your day.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve tried everything… why is food still so hard for me?” this episode is for you.
title: "I Tried Every Diet for 30 Years. This Is What Actually Healed My Relationship With Food"
In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Mandie, a former long-term dieter, perfectionist, mom, and high-achiever who spent over 30 years managing her weight, controlling food, and trying to “do it right”… yet still felt trapped by food obsession, binge cycles, and constant mental noise.
Mandie shares what it was like to:
Start dieting at 10 years old with the best intentions
Spend decades bouncing between control and loss of control
Do “well” in every area of life except food
Feel terrified to let go of rules because control felt safer than trust
Realize the problem was never food or willpower, but nervous system dysregulation and self-trust
We talk about the uncomfortable middle of healing. The part no one prepares you for. Feeling emotions instead of eating them. Resting without guilt. Gaining a little weight before finding your body’s natural balance. Learning to trust yourself again after years of outsourcing that trust to plans, points, and rules.
This episode is not about quick fixes or perfect eating.
 It’s about what actually creates peace.
 It’s about why healing feels hard before it feels freeing.
And it’s about why you’re not broken, lazy, or failing, even if it feels that way right now.
If you’re exhausted from white-knuckling food, tired of starting over, and wondering if real freedom is still possible for you, this conversation will remind you that it is.
And sometimes, the next step isn’t another plan.
It’s support, safety, and learning how to trust yourself again.
