Eat like an empress
How is eating like an empress related to our emotions?
Because our emotions and food are inextricably connected. You don’t have to have an eating disorder to emotionally eat (or not eat).
Out of all the levels of healing—emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual—emotions are the most misunderstood and challenging to sit with because our hurts are painful.
Consider the recipes as a pathfinder to gently nourish, calm, and support if you aren’t ready to sit with your pain. Cooking for oneself is a wonderful expression of self love. It doesn’t require you to pause or meditate if you don’t want to.
