In this episode, Alana dives into the complex balance between structure and fluidity, both in her professional life and when it comes to eating habits. She reflects on her own transition from a go-with-the-flow approach to a more structured yet flexible routine, emphasizing how this shift alleviated her anxiety. Alana draws a parallel to the challenges many women face during holidays like July 4th, where there's often an expectation to manage social events and food plans meticulously. She unpacks the societal and internal pressures that lead to a hyper-independent mindset, which can fuel emotional eating and anxiety. By sharing her own journey and offering practical advice, Alana encourages listeners to acknowledge their need for support, trust others, and create a healthier, more balanced way of living.
