Welcome to Baggage Be Gone: Healing Hearts and Minds. I'm so glad you're here.

Today's episode is one so many of us need—because we're talking about food. But not from a place of dieting, shame, or "good vs. bad." We’re diving deep into the emotional, mental, and even spiritual relationship we have with food—and how to finally make peace with it.

Joining me is the amazing Cat Dillon, a trauma-informed holistic nutritionist, former professional chef, and mentor in the biology of trauma. Cat's work is rooted in helping women, especially in mid-life, break free from emotional eating, diet culture, and the pressure to shrink themselves—and instead, reconnect with their body's natural wisdom.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to listen to your hunger, trust your body, and release old programming that's keeping you stuck in cycles of guilt, restriction, and frustration. You'll hear how food can become a source of freedom, joy, and healing, and why true nourishment isn't just about what's on your plate—but what's going on in your nervous system, your thoughts, and your emotional world.

We also touch on the gut-brain connection, intuitive eating, microdosing, and yes—even the buzz around Ozempic. This conversation is full of real talk, practical tools, and deep wisdom.

If you've ever felt like your relationship with food is complicated, confusing, or controlling—you are not alone. And this episode is for you.
