And we can quiet it.In this episode of The Peaceful Plate, I’m breaking down what food noise really is — that constant mental chatter about what you should or shouldn’t eat, how much you’ve had, or whether you’ve been “good” or “bad” with food. It’s exhausting. And if you’ve felt this way, you’re not alone.I share where food noise comes from — including the deep

Have you ever felt like your body was trying to tell you something—but you weren’t quite sure how to listen?In this video, we’re exploring interoception—your ability to sense what’s going on inside your body.It’s how you notice things like your breath, heartbeat, hunger, fullness, and even emotional cues.This inner awareness is deeply connected to your nervous system and your overall well-being.

You've probably heard a lot about mindset and mental shifts (which are super valuable!), and yes, top-down approaches are essential.But integrating a bottom-up approach may be exactly the shift you need to get unstuck—and here's why: 20% of the communication runs brain to body (which is crucial and we’re definitely not overlooking that!), but 80% of communication runs from body to brain.Yes, 80%! We want healthy, open lines of communication going both ways. Which is why I do encourage you to keep

Your Nervous System Can’t Heal in Hustle Mode | Why Rest Isn’t Lazy or Optional I’ve been recovering from a cold this week and gave myself the kind of lush rest I used to feel guilty about.

I used to feel completely disconnected from my body—like I was just going through the motions, following all the ‘right’ rules but still feeling lost.

The Peaceful Plate Podcast ·

2025/03/13

In this episode, I’m guiding you through box breathing—a simple but powerful tool to help regulate your nervous system.

This can make it harder to eat mindfully, listen to our hunger and fullness cues, and

#16 Finding Peace with Food Through Your Nervous System

2025/03/06

Food used to give me so much anxiety. I thought I was never going to feel truly at peace with eating—like I’d always be stuck in a cycle of overthinking, guilt, or fear around certain foods.What I didn’t realize was that my nervous system was at the root of it all. Trauma, past diet rules, and years of labeling foods as “good” or “bad” had shaped my body's neuroception—its subconscious way of sensing safety or danger. Even when I knew all foods could fit, my body still felt otherwise.This is why

Stress, cortisol, and inflammation often get a bad rap, but what if we could shift our perspective?In this episode of the Peaceful Plate Podcast, I explore how these natural processes are meant to support us—and what happens when they get out of balance.

In this episode of The Peaceful Plate Podcast, I’m diving into something we don’t talk about enough—play. Yep, play isn’t just for kids; it’s something we, as adults, need too. Play helps regulate our nervous system and makes life juicy and sweet. I’m also calling out diet and hustle cultures for making us feel like play is a waste of time. Spoiler: it’s not.

As we approach the New Year, I’ve been reflecting on how setting resolutions can feel empowering and motivating for some, yet have the opposite effect for others. It’s important to remember that we’re all different—what feels right and supportive for one person might not be the best fit for another. If you choose to set goals around your health and wellness, I encourage you to approach them with a freedom mindset, inviting in flexibility and moving away from the all-or-nothing mentality. This
