You’ve probably been told to “just eat in moderation” more times than you can count.
But if no one ever taught you what that means in real life, it can feel confusing, frustrating, and honestly impossible.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what eating in moderation actually looks like (beyond vague advice and food rules) and how to practice it consistently without guilt, restriction, or losing control around food.

I’m walking you through how to build the skill of moderation (because yes, it’s a skill, not something you’re born knowing) and how to strengthen that muscle so it starts to feel easier and more natural over time.

You’ll also learn a simple 2-step process you can use anytime you’re about to eat foods like dessert, chips, pasta, or any food that previously felt “off limits.” This process helps you check in with your body, make intentional choices, and move on without second-guessing yourself afterward.


In this episode, we cover:

  • Why “eating in moderation” feels so hard for so many women
  • The biggest misconception about moderation that keeps people stuck in all-or-nothing cycles
  • Why moderation isn’t about eating less, it’s about eating with awareness
  • How to build the muscle of moderation so it feels easier over time
  • The exact 2-step process to walk yourself through when deciding how much to eat
  • How to enjoy foods like dessert, pasta, or chips without guilt, overthinking, or feeling out of control
  • What to do if you’ve tried moderation before and it “didn’t work”

If you’ve ever felt like moderation works for everyone except you, this episode will change how you see it.
