Satiated Episode 154: Heal Your Relationship with Food by Creating a Safe, Attuned, and Loving Kitchen

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

I remember the first thing my parent's taught me how to cook in the kitchen. It was an omelet. 

It was an amazing experience to take all these ingredients to form something delicious and that I was able to make for myself. 

Over the years, I've felt incredible gratitude that there was a love of cooking and making recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation in my family. 

What memories do you have around cooking and being in the kitchen growing up? Was cooking a joyous, connecting occasion? Or was cooking a disastrous, overwhelming experience that rarely occurred in your home growing up?

Feeling safe and empowered in the kitchen can start with our initial experiences cooking with our family. Cooking for yourself can be a way to attune to your body and explore what it needs. Making the exact meal, with the specific flavors and spices can be a regulating act of giving yourself what you want. 

In this week’s episode, I chat with Callie Cavanaugh, founder of The Eat In Method, about creating a kitchen that feels safe to be in so that you can find more play, attunement, and creativity with cooking for yourself.

Cooking for yourself can be such a process. So many emotions can arise on this journey. The kitchen can be a strong mirror back to ourselves. Take all the baby steps you need. This can start with looking up recipes and seeing the ones you're drawn to so that beginning this adventure can be filled with connection, fun, and pleasure.

With Compassion and Empathy,
