Sometimes, feeding ourselves feels like just another task — something we have to do, not something we want to. In this episode, we’re unpacking why eating can start to feel like a chore, from decision fatigue and mental health struggles to the way diet culture and capitalism disconnect us from our needs.

We’ll explore how exhaustion, isolation, and shame show up around food — and how we can gently move toward curiosity, care, and reconnection.
