25. "Starving Kids in Africa" and Other Things That Messed Up Our Hunger Cues

"There are starving kids in Africa who would be grateful for that."If you grew up hearing that sentence — or any version of it — this episode is for you.I'm talking about the scarcity messaging we absorbed as kids, what it actually did to our relationship with food and our ability to hear our own hunger cues, and the wild contradiction of being told to finish everything on your plate while the nineties were simultaneously telling you to eat as little as possible.I'm also sharing what reconnecting with my own hunger signals actually looked like in practice — including the breakfast shift that made a massive difference to my weight loss without feeling like restriction at all.And what I'm doing differently with my own kids, so they don't spend their adult years unlearning what I've had to unlearn.
