In this bonus episode of Embrace Your Real, we’re digging into a topic that trips so many of us up: hunger. Have you ever paused and thought, “Wait… am I actually hungry, or just stressed, tired, or bored?” If yes—you’re not alone.

Today, we’re breaking down the two types of hunger you need to understand if you want to build a better relationship with food and fuel your body with intention.

What I discuss:

The difference between physical hunger (your body’s call for fuel) and emotional hunger (your brain’s call for comfort)
How each one shows up in your body, and what questions to ask to tell them apart
Why recognizing your hunger cues can totally change your consistency with nutrition, especially if you’re macro counting

This episode will help you slow down, tune in, and respond to your body from a place of trust—not reaction.
