Emotional Eating, Accepting Body Change, and Chilling TF Out with Ali Bonar

Bow down because Ali Bonar, kween of Granola Butter, is back on the podcast for a real time chat! In the midst of the current corona crisis, Ali and I chat on all the emotions and habits coming up for us right now. Starting with the scarcity mindset, Ali shares how she’s navigating the realm of emotional eating right now and why it’s okay to ‘feel’ different in our bodies during this time. Bodies will fluctuate and that’s a natural occurrence in life, in the words of Ali, we may just feel a little bit more ‘fluffy’ right now! She also dives into the noise of diet culture on social media and how to tune that out. The pressure to do more and be more during this time is not what everyone needs and it’s about finding what works for each individual. And when it comes to crafting a ‘for-now’ normal, Ali shares how her lifestyle has changed and what it took to pivot in business with Granola Butter. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The scarcity mindset around food and supplies; how fear breeds more fear
• Why it’s okay to emotionally eat and how to forgo the guilt and stress of it
• Tuning out the noise of diet culture and hustle on social media
• Pivoting with Granola Butter and online commerce
• Having grace for ourselves during this ‘for-now’ normal
