Overcoming the Scarcity Mindset Behind Emotional Eating

In this episode, Alana delves into the concept of the scarcity mindset and its significant impact on emotional eating. Through her personal experiences and professional insights, she explains how scarcity — often linked to money and tangible resources — can manifest as a deep-seated belief system affecting our relationship with food. Alana outlines how this mindset can lead to behaviors like pre-eating, hoarding food, and the compulsion to join the “clean plate club”. She emphasizes the importance of shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset to foster a healthier relationship with food. Listen in as Alana guides you through actionable steps and reflection exercises to help transform their mindset, paving the way for lasting change and healing.
