What to Do Instead of Starting a New DietIn this episode, Dara shares her personal journey through emotional eating, perfectionism, and body image, uncovering the real reason diets don’t work: they bypass the emotional and identity-based roots of our patterns. Drawing inspiration from "Personality Isn’t Permanent" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and timeless movie quests like "The Hobbit" and "Harry Potter," Dara reveals how true change comes from becoming the person who can handle discomfort—not avoiding it with food, clutter, or control.
