Becoming Your Own Ally: The End of Food as Your Safety Net
In this episode, Alana explores the quiet, unseen reasons food can feel like a loyal friend — especially during emotional highs and lows. Through personal reflection and client stories, she reveals how unmet needs for safety and self-support often drive women to seek refuge in food, control, or perfection.
With clarity and compassion, Alana guides listeners through the process of building an inner ally — the mature, grounded voice that offers agency instead of impulse, calm instead of control.
Each pause, each micro moment of self-care becomes a step toward self-trust — and the freedom to finally feel safe in your own company.
