S2 E13: Food Noise, Food Guilt & Breaking the All-or-Nothing Mindset

In this episode, Jess and Karli talk about something many of us think about but rarely say out loud: our relationship with food. From “food noise” and the constant inner dialogue around what, when, and how much to eat, to the all-or-nothing mindset, cravings, and guilt, this conversation dives into the mental load that comes with eating in today’s world. Karli shares her journey from binge and restrict cycles as a D1 athlete to finding food freedom, while Jess opens up about being in the thick of it— unlearning old habits and trying to feel more in control. Together, they unpack the tension between nourishment and deprivation, the impact of how we grew up eating, and why “just eat the donut” isn’t always that simple. This episode isn’t about having all the answers, but hopefully it reminds you that if your brain feels loud around food, you’re not alone.
