We are women making our way in this world that conditions us to find safety in winning, material possessions, a buzz from that next bottle of wine, following specific diet rules, and having a body that looks a certain way.

Comparison is an inherently human experience. You have a say in where comparison leads you. Your preference matters. There is freedom and connection for you.

Learn actionable steps to answer the question: How do I find my way back to the ventral vagal state and stay there? Being able to regulate to safety is helpful in the practice of moving away from dieting and into an attuned, connected, organized eating style (aka “intuitive eating”) is that when we are in a ventral vagal state of regulation we are more likely to have an optimistic, engaged, big-picture-way of thinking about and being with food.

Knowing your triggers, cues of danger, that activate a defense response AND glimmers, cues of safety, that lead to connection and calm may be the missing piece of healing your relationship with food.

How does our nervous system state narrate the story of who we are with food? The Polyvagal Theory is another resource for bringing consciousness to otherwise unconscious behaviors.
