Coaching with Cara

Are you actually hungry, or is it 3pm and you're just... bored, stressed, avoiding a text you haven't replied to yet?

Snacking isn't always about food.

In this week's episode I'm breaking down why so many of us end up in the snack drawer without even realising it, and it's got nothing to do with willpower (does it ever?)

I this podcast I'll talk you through how building a healthy relationship with food will reduce your snacking or get rid of it completely .

I'm chatting -
- Why calling food "naughty" or "rubbish" messes with your decisions.
- How to tell physical hunger from habit.
- Where all your food rules actually came from (hello Slimming World)
- The sneaky version of emotional eating (it's not the crying into a ice cream tub kind)

If you've ever finished a packet of biscuits and thought "wait, when did that happen?", this one's for you.

Hard relate?

I really see you hun.

In fact, I’ve made a podcast about this which has dropped today. (Search “Chatting with Cara”).

And I’ve founded The Intuitive Table, which is a group in Shrewsbury for women (just like you) to build a healthy relationship with food, stop the doom scrolling at night (it’s a byproduct) and become a mindful eater.

Comment “table” below and I’ll send you the details.

The founding group starts 14th September, so harness that new year September energy and do something for you, that future you will thank you for.

You skip breakfast because there's no time.

You eat lunch standing up at the chopping board, or in the car, or at your desk between emails.

By 3pm you need a coffee.
You need the caffeine.

By the time you get home, cooking dinner feels too much, so it's something quick, something easy, something that isn't really dinner......

And then it's 11pm and everyone else is asleep.

And you're finally sat down scrolling your phone, telling yourself this is "your" time.

As always I go deeper because I'm not seeing five bad habits.

It's not about being disorganised in the morning or lazy.

It's one exhausted woman, wearing five different outfits, who hasn't had a moment for herself all day.

Yes it is.

My new episode of Chatting with Cara dropped this morning "Too tired to cook, too wired to sleep.".

If that sounds like you then search "Chatting with Cara" where you get your podcasts from or head to my bio for the link. I'm breaking down why this pattern happens, why willpower was never going to fix it, and what actually does.

Go listen to it and then tell me which bit landed.

Open your kitchen drawer.

Go on, actually do it.

The magnesium for sleep. The B12 for energy. The green powder that's meant to fix your gut. The one you can't even remember buying.

And as you look at it, you might start to wonder what problem you were actually trying to solve.

In the new episode of Chatting with Cara, I go through exactly why that drawer exists, why diet culture's spent years teaching you not to trust your own hunger, your own tiredness, your own signals, and why "it's your hormones" is so often the answer people reach for instead of looking at what's really going on.

I talk about the pattern underneath the supplements, the skipped meals, running on caffeine, autopilot habits that quietly wreck your energy and your patience.

And I walk through the audit I want you to do on that drawer, one supplement at a time, so you can start seeing what your body's actually been asking for.

Have a listen, then go and count what's in yours.

When I say kinda chic - I mean it is chic.

See you at the table.

You've done the shakes.
You've done the app where you photograph your dinner.
You've done Tuesday's your free day.

I know. I see you.

You've got the t-shirt. Multiple t-shirts actually....

And yet here we are, another thought about starting again on Monday.

You haven't tried everything.
You've tried every diet.

Which sounds the same but isn't, trust me.

My new podcast episode has dropped and I'm telling you the one thing my chronic dieters have never tried before now.

Not another plan.
Not another app.

Building a healthy relationship with food.

No points, no tracking, no being "good" until Wednesday and then blowing it on a Friday.
