Ep 17 - Intuitive Eating Through the Holidays & Beyond

This week we’re going deep into something most of us think about all day, every day…Food. 🍽️💭Gina opens with an energy update for the week ahead that’s all about the heart: family dynamics, doing things differently around the table, and choosing peace and presence over holiday chaos. Then, Kim gets radically honest about something so many of us feel but rarely say out loud: the stress, resentment, guilt, and mental chatter around food. From potlucks and holiday tables to packing lunches and last-minute dinners, she shares how thoughts about eating, cooking, and “getting it right” hold her mind captive every day.If you’ve ever:Cleaned your plate so you’re “not wasteful”Eaten something you didn’t want so you wouldn’t offend the person who made itObsessed over a food you told yourself you “weren’t allowed” to haveFelt like a failure around feeding yourself or your kids…this episode will make you feel so seen.Then Gina shares her personal journey from “happy plate” conditioning, constant dieting, keto and intermittent fasting, to healing her metabolism and body image through intuitive eating and self-love. Together, Kim and Gina unpack what intuitive eating actually is (beyond the trendy phrase), drawing from the original framework and layering in spirituality and energy work.In this episode, we explore:Why kids are natural intuitive eaters—and how we unintentionally teach them to override their own bodiesHow restriction and diet culture wreck your metabolism and your mindsetThe core ideas behind intuitive eating: honoring hunger, making peace with food, feeling your fullness, coping with emotions with kindness, and dropping the “food police” in your headGina’s simple “experiment”: eat what you want for a day, then notice how you feel the next morning—physically, mentally, and energetically—and adjust from curiosity, not shameHow cravings can be messages (sugar for joy or more protein, carbs for comfort or rest, salt for hydration and minerals)Why no food is inherently “good” or “bad,” and how labeling yourself as good or bad because of what you eat shapes your realityYou’ll also hear practical, real-life tips for the holidays:Why it’s okay to “offend Karen” and not take the casserole you don’t want 😉 How to build your plate so you nourish your body firstWhy it’s okay not to take every single dish just to keep the peace (sorry, Karen 👀)A tiny fullness cue to watch for—a natural pause and breath while eating that may be your body quietly saying, “I’m good.”We talk about blessing your food, cooking with intention, choosing “high-vibe” foods more often without demonizing the fun stuff, and shifting movement from punishment to something you do because it makes you feel good. And of course, we connect it back to manifestation and neuroplasticity: when your thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and actions around food line up, your reality starts to shift.If food has ever felt like a battle or a burden, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. 🕊️ Support the showFind Gina here:Book the Best Psychic Medium in Louisville - Gina Scarpino | Spiritual Readings & CoachingFind Kim here:Kim LittrellBuy F Words for Your Soul here:Amazon.com: F Words for Your Soul: A Guide to Creating the Life of Your Dreams: 9798991911801: Littrell, Kim: Books
