It's Halloween time. And that means...plenty of candy. Maybe more than usual? Maybe not. In this special bonus episode, I'm answering a listener question about what to do if you feel like you can't eat candy without binge-eating it, how to approach candy with your kids, and whether we can truly give ourselves unconditional permission to eat all that sugar.

👉 Listen to the full episode right here!

You'll hear more on:

• Whether it's possible to no longer feel out of control around candy, especially if you've had a history of binge eating
• Dealing with the fear and anxiety of having tons of candy around
• Strategies for helping kids develop a positive relationship with candy
• Fears associated with eating "too much" sugar or being "addicted" to sugar
• The truth about health impacts of eating a lot of candy
• Interacting with other people's perspectives on sugar
• What self-compassion has to do with all of this
• Releasing the scarcity mindset to feel more at ease around food (and candy)
