089: It’s Never About the Food with Errin Smith
What are we feeding when we eat? Sometimes we are feeding inner needs, a desire for connection, and our feelings. It’s the emotional eating, the eating of our feelings, that is the focus of conversation in this episode. I’m joined by the founder, producer and host of What We Crave: The Emotional Eating Summit, Errin Smith, in what is a truly honest and beautiful talk about our cravings and how to make peace with them. This isn’t about the food at all, really. It’s about why we’re eating when we eat certain things. It’s about how to heal and feed what we really want to nourish.

Errin shares her personal journey through emotional eating and dieting to frame how she decided to really understand the craving beneath the food. She stresses that while nutrition is important, when we’re binge eating it’s not about the food but something deeper. Errin and I discuss how to satisfy our emotional cravings with more inwardly nourishing activities. Where do we find joy, where do we get connection, how are we sleeping? Errin details all the ways in which we can find dopamine elsewhere before we talk about eating. It’s a beautiful conversation about awareness of the connections we’re seeking.
