We can start the year with a fresh start, but not necessarily a clean slate. In other words, we still have our emotional selves that we’re bringing to the New Year. Because this season is about the feminine perspective or what’s missing in our conversations, I’m going to be sharing what’s missing in traditional and emotional eating approaches, including binging approaches, so that you can blow your expectations for freedom out of the water in today’s episode.Send me (Ali) a text message.Make sure to check out Ali’s new website trucewithfood.com, and take the new Find Your Food Stage assessment!
