🎃🍬 Here's your annual reminder to move away from "junk" language when describing halloween candy.

Why do we want to do this?

Well using "junk" to describe candy puts it on a pedestal where it becomes something forbidden, special, or “off-limits,” which often makes us want it more.

When we label food as “junk,” we’re reinforcing guilt and restriction rather than helping ourselves or our kids build a peaceful relationship with food.

Try calling it what it is - candy. And help kids use sensory words to describe what they might like (or not like) about it! 🎃🍬

And if you're struggling with mindlessly eating candy and wanting a different relationship with it, join my 10 week Befriend Food & Body group!

We practice mindful eating activities each week so that you can move towards a more peaceful and flexible relationship with food.

🎉Group begins tomorrow! That's Thursday nights starting Oct 23rd.

When your body doesn’t feel safe, food often becomes the battleground.
🍽️ You might swing between restriction and overeating.
😣 Feel disconnected from hunger and fullness.
💭 Or spend hours thinking about what you “should” or “shouldn’t” eat.

These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower - they’re your nervous system doing its best to protect you.

When your body feels safe and regulated, eating becomes more flexible, satisfying, and connected.

That’s what we practice inside Befriend Food & Body, my 10-week mindful eating group.
✨ Learn grounding tools to calm your nervous system
✨ Build trust with your body again
✨ Feel more in charge around food — without control or guilt

We start this Thursday, Oct 23 💛

Open to folks in Alberta + BC.

If you’ve ever thought, “I just need more willpower around food,” - you’re not alone.

But appetite isn’t about willpower - it’s a biological signal. When stress, restriction, or food rules take over, those signals get fuzzy. You might find yourself ignoring hunger one day and eating past fullness the next.

It’s not a lack of discipline. It’s your body trying to find safety.

💛 In my 10-week Befriend Food & Body group, we practice reconnecting with those signals - so eating feels calmer, steadier, and more intuitive again.

We start October 23, and early bird pricing ends October 8.

Join us before then to save your spot.

Reposting this because sometimes we “know” what to do on an intellectual level.

You may know that you're eating out of stress or out of boredom.

You may even know the principles of Intuitive Eating and perhaps try to practice Intuitive Eating.

⭐ However, often practicing Intuitive Eating requires our bodies to be in a regulated and safe state. This is where we have access to the body’s ventral vagal nervous system, otherwise known as the Safe & Social system.

⭐ This is the state where our bodies feel calm, alert, and connected inside.

⭐ Here, we can get curious and truly satisfy our body’s needs.

Want to learn more about this safe and regulated state?

🙌 Join my Befriend Food & Body group! Every week, I'll guide you through different activities to support your nervous system into more safety and connection.

This helps make eating easier and less stressful.
