Menopause, Eating, and the Emotional Hole You’re Trying to Fill

Do you really know why you’re eating—or are you just filling an emotional hole? In this episode, I’m inviting you to look at how menopause affects the way you connect with your body, and why that connection is the key to lasting change.

I talk about the free class I’m offering in May and why it’s different from anything you’ve tried before. I’m not giving you a list of what to eat. Instead, I’m teaching you how to listen to your body—when it’s hungry, when it’s full, when it’s tired, or even when it’s trying to speak through pain. I share stories from my own life about how my mind used to push through exhaustion, how food and alcohol became rewards, and how I finally started to listen. I also explain the deeper transformation that menopause offers us, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. This isn’t just about eating—it’s about how you live and care for yourself as you age.
