Happy eating!!

Have you ever gotten to the end of a horrible week or a bad day at work and said, "I deserve to DoorDash?" Or if you're out to eat with your friends, do you get dessert and tell yourself that you've earned it?

This is an incredibly common dynamic that is hurting your relationship with food.

On the surface, it seems like telling yourself you deserve to eat delicious things would be empowering! But what we'll explore in this episode is how telling yourself you deserve to eat delicious things is actually a type of emotional bypassing.

You’ll learn why food is not a reward, why exercise is not punishment, and why your body does not operate according to morality. Instead of framing eating around being “good” or “bad,” this episode offers a more compassionate and honest approach: you have unconditional permission to eat, and you also have a responsibility to understand the trade-offs of your choices. This is a powerful listen for anyone healing their relationship with food, trying to stop emotional eating, or working to break free from food guilt and all-or-nothing thinking.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck between craving pleasure and fearing the consequences of eating, this episode will help you rethink food morality, understand the emotional function of your eating habits, and build a more peaceful, grounded relationship with your body.

If vacation usually throws off your eating routines, this episode will give you approachable tools to make things feel easier.

And, of course, we're going to cover more about your mindset on vacation, because what's going on between your ears is often more important than what's on your plate.

In this episode of Body Like You, Aimee shares practical tools for improving body image on vacation and navigating the emotional challenges that can come with beach trips, summer travel, photos, swimsuits, and being out of your normal routine. If you’ve ever struggled with body dissatisfaction, negative thoughts about your appearance, or anxiety about how your body looks while traveling, this episode offers compassionate, actionable support.

Amy explains why vacation body image issues are so common, how your brain can turn body insecurity into a threat response, and what to do when those thoughts start to spiral. She walks listeners through simple mindset shifts and coping tools, including setting goals for both yourself and your body, creating supportive boundaries around food and alcohol, using thought work to interrupt self-criticism, practicing opposite action, and leaning into positive sensations to stay grounded.

This episode is especially helpful for anyone working on body image healing, food freedom, emotional eating, or a healthier relationship with their body while still wanting to enjoy vacation fully. Whether you’re feeling self-conscious in a swimsuit, avoiding photos, or battling all-or-nothing thinking around eating and travel, this conversation will help you approach your trip with more self-compassion, confidence, and peace.

Why does body image get worse on vacation? In this episode, Aimee explores the psychology of body image on vacation and explains why so many people struggle with feeling bigger, more self-conscious, or uncomfortable in their bodies while traveling. She breaks down the science of body perception, including why your brain’s view of your appearance can shift so quickly and how factors like bloating, water retention, alcohol, disrupted routines, mirrors, social comparison, and vacation photos can intensify body image anxiety. If you’ve ever felt insecure in a bathing suit, hated the way you looked in pictures, or felt frustrated by vacation weight gain fears, this episode offers compassionate insight and practical perspective to help you feel less alone and more at ease in your body while traveling.

Happy eating.

The weather is getting hotter, and your next vacation is on the horizon. Maybe you're planning something involving bikinis or swim trunks. And while that sounds like a lot of fun, you're also feeling a bit nervous about how you look in a bathing suit. Or, maybe you feel a general sense of body anxiety around wearing shorts and tank tops.

It's the time of year that predatory fitness and wellness coaches are ready to swoop in to sell you the ultimate solution to your body dissatisfaction: the Six Week Shred.

If you've ever been tempted to lock in for several weeks because a program promised insane results, or maybe you do a crash diet every year before vacation, this podcast will cover what's really going on.

Before you sign up for any program that promises "30 POUNDS In 30 DAYS," be sure you can confidently answer the two main questions I pose in this episode. Chances are doing what you've always done and expecting this to be the year you're finally going to love your body is a teeny weeny bit of a fantasy.

Hey friends! We're back for a second week talking about cravings and how to manage them.

And if you know anything about behavior change, you already know you're not going to hear anything about willpower or discipline here.

But managing cravings and emotional eating does require the willingness to be uncomfortable and tapping into your courage to change.

In this episode, I talk about why cravings can feel so intense and what to do when food urges seem out of control. I explain how cravings are created in the brain, why willpower alone usually is not enough, and how self-compassion can help you change your eating patterns without shame. I also share the practice of urge surfing, a mindfulness-based tool that helps you pause, observe cravings, and let them pass without automatically acting on them. We explore the role of dopamine, emotional eating, food cues, and neuroplasticity, and I explain why you are not broken if food feels harder for you than it seems for other people.

This episode is for anyone struggling with cravings, secret eating, or feeling powerless around food and wanting a more compassionate, sustainable approach to nutrition and behavior change.

Happy eating, everyone.

This week I'm kicking off a little series on the part of pleasure eating that tends to upset everyone. It's the compulsive, relentless drive to eat things that we know aren't the best for our bodies or don't align with our goals. Most of us have experienced cravings, and some of us suffer from unwanted cravings to the point that it negatively impacts our lives.

Once you understand the the part of your brain that makes you yearn for food isn't the same part that likes what you are eating, you can start to notice when intense desire for food comes and how often it predicts happiness on your end.

Brains are very plastic and can be changed. You are not destined to a life of being mentally trapped by the food around you.

This one rule about craving and yearning changed my life forever, not just around food, but also around shopping, achievements, and so much more.

If you want support navigating a brain that can't stop thinking about food, 1:1 coaching is the best way to work with me:

Happy eating, everyone!

This week I'm talking about a very common fight I see in the online health and wellness community.

On one side, you have people who say, "It's perfectly normal to work out for vanity." or "Everyone works out too look good. Stop pretending."

On the other side, you have people who almost...look down on...anyone who mentions anything aesthetic about their fitness and nutrition goals.

As with most things, the truth lies in how your brain evolved to keep you alive, bringing nuance to your appearance goals, and leaning on what we know about positive body image to help you love your work. Even if right now you can't stop wanting a flat abs and a big butt.

You don't have to be ashamed or embarrassed about your body goals.

AND

You will be happier and more satisfied if you look deeper into your motivations so you're taking care of yourself in a joyful and empowering way.

I hope you find some relief and some things to think about after this episode.

As always,
