Ep.27 / Navigating Food in Social Settings
WITH Tara kemp, phd
LISTEN NOW
Do you ever get invited to a dinner party and not know what to do? AKA you sit there with your thumbs hovering over the phone with indecision about how to respond to the text invite… trying to decide whether you just say yes and trust the universe to make it all work out, or let the host know your dietary preferences, or offer to bring something you know you’ll eat… or just say no and skip all the social stress altogether.
If you can relate, let me tell you, I FEEL YOU. I’ve been there. It can be mega awkward and uncomfortable. Especially if conversations about what you are (or aren’t) eating come up at the dinner table.
Thankfully, today it’s all easy breezy for me. I’ve learned how to navigate all sorts of scenarios that have to do with eating in public places. Whether it’s a spontaneous restaurant gathering with friends, or my boyfriend’s family reunion banquet dinner, I've learned how to hold true to my values while sharing in the experience with everyone. AND, how to get through any conversations or questions that people have about how, what, and why I eat what I do.
So in this episode, I share what I’ve learned and how I coach other women to their own place of peace and confidence when it comes to eating in social settings.
