Summer is around the corner. The hot weather, the BBQs, swimsuits, pool parties...And if that brings up a wave of pressure — to shrink, restrict, or “get your body back” before the season hits — you are so not alone.This time of year can feel like one giant spotlight on your body. The clothes get smaller, the diet noise gets louder, and suddenly you’re hyper-aware of every lump, bump, and bite.But this isn’t really about swimsuits or shorts. It’s about the beliefs running under the surface — the ones that say you have to shrink yourself to be worthy, lovable, or "ready" for summer.In this episode, I’m breaking down why summer can send you into a food-and-body spiral… and what to do instead. We’re getting into the subconscious patterns, emotional triggers, and cultural noise that make it feel so hard — and how to shift out of it with actual self-trust.Let’s talk about how you can enjoy your summer without obsession, restriction, or body shame weighing you down - shall we?🎧 Subscribe to my brand-new SECRET podcast series: The Food Freedom Experience! 10 bingeable episodes to guide you towards ease, peace and confidence with food. ✨ Grab your spot for my free workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today! 📲 Follow me for daily tips & resources on instagram! @sabrina.magnan.health 💌 Get on my Food Freedom Weekly Newsletter here: https://site.sabrinamagnan.com/newsletter/ 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?

Diet plans, coaching, apps— but you still end up turning to food when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or just need a break.Maybe you feel like you know what you "should" be doing, but can't bridge the gap between knowledge and action. In this episode, I talk with Lauren, who has spent the last few years trying everything to break her stress eating habits. From intermittent fasting to nutrition coaching to Noom—nothing seemed to stick. And if you’ve been in that same frustrating cycle, this conversation will hit home.We uncover why stress eating isn’t about the food itself—it’s about the deeper emotional drivers that keep pulling you back in. We also talk about the habits and rituals that can actually help you regulate stress without needing food as a crutch.Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The subconscious patterns that make emotional eating feel impossible to stopWhy journaling, meditation, and rituals can help—but only if done the right wayHow to build real trust in yourself so you don’t need accountability to stay consistentThe power of setting non-negotiables in your routine to protect your well-beingWhy waiting for a “rock bottom” moment before making changes keeps you stuckIf you’re ready to stop feeling a slave to food when stress hits and finally create sustainable habits that work for you (not against you), press play now!🎧 Subscribe to my brand-new SECRET podcast series: The Food Freedom Experience! 10 bingeable episodes to guide you towards ease, peace and confidence with food. ✨ Grab your spot for my free workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today! 📲 Follow me for daily tips & resources on instagram! @sabrina.magnan.health 💌 Get on my Food Freedom Weekly Newsletter here: https://site.sabrinamagnan.com/newsletter/ 🤝 Ready to get support in healing your relationship with food and your body?
