After years of dieting, many women find themselves stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, overthinking, and questioning every decision they make about food, movement, and their bodies. In this episode, I’m joined by trauma therapist turned author Emily Romero, creator of The Self-Trust Model™, to talk about what it really means to rebuild self-trust, especially after years of trying to “fix” your body.

We explore how trauma shows up in our relationships with food, what it means to listen to your parts without judgment, and how to start trusting your body even if it feels foreign or uncomfortable. Whether you’re just starting your intuitive eating journey or you’ve been working on body peace for a while, this conversation will help you come home to yourself with more compassion and clarity.

✨ Topics we cover:

 – Why dieting often disconnects us from self-trust
– How trauma can impact your relationship with food and body image
– What “parts work” is and how it helps with healing
– Why it’s okay to still want weight loss, and how to hold space for that
– Gentle, doable ways to reconnect with your intuition today
