Transitions can be tough. Menopause, empty nest, retirement, moving, or even grief can shake the ground beneath us. When life feels uncertain, food often becomes the one place we turn for comfort and safety. In this solo episode, Kim explores why emotional eating shows up so strongly during life changes, how it ties back to safety and stability, and what you can do to navigate these seasons with love and grace.
Kim shares personal reflections and client stories to remind you that you are not alone in this. She also offers practical tools to create real safety in your body and mind without relying on food.
If you have been eating your way through change, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and rebuild stability from the inside out.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Highlights:
· Food feels safe because it is predictable, but safety is something we can create in our bodies and minds.
· Menopause is not just physical. It is an identity transition. If my body is changing, can I still feel safe living in it?
· During transitions, we do not always realize how much we are carrying. That is why we forget to give ourselves love and grace.
· Safety is not about control. It is about trust. Trusting yourself to move through change with compassion.
