In this episode, the hosts dive deep into how scarcity impacts our lives, particularly around food. They start off by unpacking what scarcity really means-not just running out of something, but feeling like you're always lacking something crucial. This feeling can trigger behaviors like hoarding or bingeing, not just with food but in many aspects of life.
They share personal stories and societal observations to illustrate how the fear of not having enough drives people to overcompensate in various ways, whether that’s stocking up on items or overeating when certain foods are perceived as rare or unavailable. This discussion leads into the concept of "window of opportunity" eating, which is when people eat not because they're hungry but because they feel like they might not get another chance to enjoy a specific food.
The hosts also explore how these behaviors often stem from emotional needs rather than physical hunger. They discuss how past traumas or emotional deficiencies can lead to these scarcity-driven behaviors, affecting how people perceive their current situations, often without realizing it.
Throughout the episode, they offer strategies to manage these impulses, like mindfulness and self-questioning techniques. For example, asking oneself what happens if you don't act on a scarcity impulse can help you understand and control these feelings better.
The episode wraps up on a reflective note, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and compassion in dealing with scarcity. By understanding and addressing the emotional roots of scarcity-driven behaviors, people can make more conscious choices that lead to healthier and more satisfying lives. The conversation is insightful, helping listeners see how deep-seated feelings of scarcity can influence behavior and offering ways to navigate these challenges.

I play you two ad infinitum. Your voices are nice and calm. You lower my cortisol levels. And my BP. :)
Same! So calming and therapeutic, each single episode.
That’s a really nice thing to read!
I am working on food freedom and in my head, and my journal, I feel as though I'm figuring this out. Then family members openly judge my food decisions which inevitably leaves me feeling confused and guilty so I retreat back to secret eating which is where I gobble down food uncontrollably.
Still some work to do here!
Thank you ladies for your content. Your knowledge and insights are incredibly important to me 😘
i can relate to windows of opportunities. i am scared i might regret it later if i don't grab the opportunity now. especially when something is on sale and it has a huge discount. I would grab as much as i can because what if this is the only time it will be on sale and it never happens again. I am scared of feeling regret afterwards. also windows of opportunities to engage in ed behaviors. if i don't grab it now, what if want to do it later but don't have the opportunity anymore? i might regret it.
