Talking with Emma: End the Food Noise. Feel the Relief
Talking with Emma is the podcast for midlife women who are tired of obsessing over food and feeling like their body is the one thing they can’t get sorted.
I’m Emma Wright — body image coach, author, and someone who knows exactly how exhausting it is to live in a body that never feels “good enough.”
After years of trying to eat better, exercise harder, and finally feel at peace, I discovered something different — and more powerful:
Coaching tools that help you change the way you think, not just what you eat.
Each episode, I’ll share the exact tools I use with smart, capable clients who want relief from food and body struggles — and who are ready to show up in their life with more calm, and more confidence.
If you’re done waiting to feel good in your body, this podcast is for you.

4: You Are Not Addicted To Food
Description:
If you feel like you spend too much time thinking about food — what you should eat, what you shouldn’t, whether you’ve already blown it — this episode is for you.
We talk about why you’re not addicted to food. You’re deprived.
And your body is trying to protect you.
In this episode, I explain how black-and-white thinking about food — inherited from diet culture, family messages, and years of restriction — sets you up to feel out of control. We look at why your brain fixates on food, even when you’re not dieting, and how to begin unhooking from that pattern using a powerful self-coaching practice.
You’ll learn:
- Why food obsession is a sign of deprivation, not addiction
- How diet culture trains your brain to think in black-and-white categories
- Why your food thoughts aren’t a moral failing — they’re a survival response
- A self-coaching tool that helps you notice, name, and soften the inherited food rules in your mind
