In this episode, I sit down with Francesca, a trauma-informed psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders, to explore the complexities of emotional eating. We discuss the full spectrum of emotional eating—why it develops, how it serves as a maladaptive coping strategy, and the impact of comparison and social media on our relationship with food and body image.

Francesca brings a compassionate and educational perspective, helping us unpack the deeper layers of emotional eating with understanding and grace.

This is an episode you don’t want to miss! Tune in for an insightful conversation that will leave you feeling seen, supported, and empowered on your healing journey.
