My guest today specializes in two fascinating fields; personal development and food. Molly Zemek, a certified life and weight coach, joins us today to talk about how to maintain healthy relationships with food. Molly started her career as a chef and transitioned into life coaching. She now helps food lovers get to the root causes of their food-related issues and lose weight in a sustainable way. In today’s episode, we talk about the role food plays in our lives, food-related decisions, approaching weight loss with self-love, and more. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Molly Zemek.
Pursuing the Love of Cooking – Molly sort of abandoned her academic background to enroll in a culinary school in Europe. She talks about what she experienced in the restaurant business and why that decision to pursue what she loved was one of the best decisions she had ever made.
Life Coaching – After years of service in the restaurant business, Molly went through another career transition to become a certified life & weight coach. Molly shares with us how she helps food lovers maintain healthy relationships with food and alcohol.
Food & emotions – How food is connected to our emotions, how food may serve a purpose beyond just fuel, and what we can do to avoid unhealthy behaviors related to food and emotions.
Self-compassion & Self-love – Molly is a big advocate of using self-compassion to help people transform their relationships with food and alcohol. She shares with us how a transformation such as weight loss can benefit from and approach with self-compassion rather than self-loathing.
Decisions & Planning – According to Molly, making decisions about our meals earlier in the day helps us keep more disciplined food habits. We talk about how we can plan our meals in a way that prevents us from making spontaneous food decisions that do not contribute to our goals.
Embracing Uncertainty – Uncertainty can sometimes lead us to create bad habits. Molly talks about how we can consciously look around us, shift our awareness to what we have now, and avoid the negative effects of uncertainty.
