S11 EP25: It’s Not About the Food. Here’s Why! With Marcella Friel
In this episode of the podcast, Marcella Friel, an author, teacher, and food and forgiveness mentor, introduces listeners to EFT Tapping, a neurological repatterning tool. Marcella specializes in helping women heal the emotional roots of yo-yo dieting, binge eating, sugar addiction, and body shaming.
During the episode, Marcella and Rachael discuss the reasons why diets fail, the use of food as a tool for self-harm, and how to heal trauma by building healthy habits in a culture where unhealthy things are easily accessible. They also explore how to move from addictive behavior to appreciating your body and how to incorporate mindful eating into a busy schedule. This episode is for anyone who feels they have tried everything to improve their relationship with food and their body, but nothing seems to work.
