What if your struggle with food has nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with identity, self-worth, and a prison you built yourself?
In this episode, I sit down with Regina Oswald — ICF certified coach, fashion designer, philanthropist, and author of Liberation from the Diet Prison — who spent 30 years doing everything "right" according to diet culture… and still felt trapped.
We go deep on the psychology behind why diets fail, what emotional eating is really telling you, and how the "Diet Prison" effect keeps you stuck in a cycle that drains your energy, your joy, and your ability to actually live.
This one hit close to home for me — and I think it will for you too.
