Getting Vulnerable: My Story With Emotional Eating

In this episode, we flip the script on Alana as she opens up about her personal battles with emotional eating and self-discovery. From her formative years grappling with self-hate and harmful behaviors to the transformative healing process in her twenties, Alana's story is one of honesty and growth. Listen in as she details how she swapped information collection for practical embodiment, and the significant role of feminine energy in her recovery. She’ll talk about her career as a functional dietitian, integrating inner work as the essential foundation for self-worth, and how honest self-reflection is paramount to healing. Together with our behind-the-scenes podcast magician Kassi, they explore the persistent nature of healing and the importance of continually developing tools to cope with life's hardships. Alana emphasizes the need for both interpersonal and intrapersonal skills, while also recounting her path toward balancing her roles as a doer and a receiver, culminating in the closure of her yoga studio, the evolution of Be Well by AK and The 3 Part Healing Engine Framework for Overcoming Emotional Eating and Permanent Restriction Free Weight Loss, and the blossoming of healthier relationships.
