Breaking Free from Emotional Eating and Self-Sabotage with Kayla MacDonald

Kayla MacDonald shares why stress, emotional eating, and self-sabotage aren’t about willpower—they’re signs your body is trying to feel safe. She explains simple, quick ways to reconnect with yourself so you can feel better, stay grounded, and actually enjoy your life again.

Kayla MacDonald is a food freedom and embodiment coach who helps women break free from self-sabotage and finally feel safe, sexy, and at home in their bodies. She's the creator of Food Freedom Fantasy, a sensual, story-driven method that uses archetypes, nervous system rewiring, and inner storytelling to help women turn cravings into clarity, and self-care into sacred play.

Kayla believes that the most lasting change doesn’t come from willpower, but from desire, devotion, and rewriting the story you've been stuck in.
