Ep 30 Comfort Food, Coping, and the Cycle That Almost Broke Me

from The School of Hard Knocks · host Darcie Burtch

Sometimes it isn’t the food — it’s the fear.In this episode, I’m opening up about how my lifelong relationship with food began as a way to comfort my eight-year-old self in the middle of chaos and fear… and how I’m finally learning to break that cycle 38 years later.I talk about the moment I realized food had become my drug of choice, how grief reignited those patterns after my dad’s passing, and what self-love and discipline look like when you’ve decided to stop soothing pain with the very thing that keeps you stuck in it.This one’s about accountability, compassion, and coming home to your body — not for looks, but for life.💌 Connect with me: [email protected]
