Embodied Writing Warrior: Food Freedom, Creativity & Spiritual Reclamation

180. Your Appetite Isn't The Problem... This Is (Alchemize Emotional Eating, Binge Eating & Low Self Worth)

Kayla MacDonald

So much of this show is about reclaiming narrative power - and this episode is no exception.

If you’ve ever felt like your appetite is “too much,” or like your cravings are a personal failure, this episode will change everything. You’ll learn why your appetite isn’t the enemy—it’s a portal. And the real problem? Shame.

Inside this powerful (and wildly personal) episode, I share:

  • The paradigm-shifting truth about hunger and shame
  • Two deeply vulnerable stories (popcorn + dreamscapes, you’ve been warned)
  • Why your overindulgence might be happening because you’re actually hungry for something else entirely
  • Four symbolic substitutes food often stands in for, and how to reclaim them creatively
  • A fresh, embodied way to work with your desire instead of fighting it

You’ll also hear the full story of how a disappearing engagement ring, a series of spicy dreams, and a long-forgotten Eminem fanfic helped me return to writing—and reclaim the she-wolf inside me.
