In this episode Queen Sim and Lady C welcome the sistah in da spotlight - Safi Abdi. Together they discuss:

• How emotional eating often begins in childhood as a response to feeling unseen, unheard, or pressured to be “the strong one”

• The overlap between food, comfort, culture, and the unspoken expectations placed on Black women

• How we can move from shame to self-compassion, and begin to heal our relationship with food and our bodies
