Have you ever found solace in the sweetness of sugar, only to discover it's a double-edged sword that cuts deep into the fabric of emotional well-being? Karly Pitman joins us today — whose journey through eating disorders and deep dive into neuroscience and attachment theory sheds light on our complex relationship with food. Throughout our revealing conversation, Carly helps us understand how self-compassion and empathy are key in transforming the way we interact with food, especially sugar, and how these insights can empower us in the recovery process. This episode is an invitation to reflect on the cyclical nature of healing. We emphasize that your journey need not be a solitary one, and that opening doors to healthier coping mechanisms while closing those that harm us is part of the healing process. Karly and I explore the essence of our true selves—compassionate, loving, and kind—distinct from the critical inner voices that often plague us. By embracing this journey to self-compassion, we learn to internalize our experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of ourselves and, ultimately, a more peaceful state of being.
