In episode 299 I speak with author, dietician, and eating psychology coach, Caroline Trickey. After nearly two decades of trying to “eat less and exercise more,” she ended up feeling frustrated and completely out of tune with her body. But now, with a deep understanding of how the brain really works, Caroline can see that the issue wasn’t her—it was the way we’re taught to approach eating. The typical advice creates stress and confusion, making it tough to build lasting habits that genuinely support health and wellbeing. It’s been almost twenty years since she stopped dieting and relearned how to eat in a way that feels natural. Today, she enjoys food without second-guessing or obsessing. With the help of the pause, her meals are deeeliciously satisfying and she doesn’t overthink every bite. This is a wonderful podcast, not to be missed
In this enlightening episode of The Pause, I sit down with Caroline Trickey—a dietitian, eating psychology coach, and author of The Power of the Pause. Caroline shares her personal and professional journey from nearly two decades of dieting and frustration to finally discovering a new way to relate to food, body, and self.
After years of following the traditional "eat less, exercise more" mantra with little success and a lot of stress, Caroline had a powerful realisation: the problem wasn't her—it was the approach. Through neuroscience, psychology, and compassion, she found a more peaceful, intuitive, and satisfying way to eat, live, and thrive.
In this conversation, we explore:
Caroline now helps others unlearn the noise and guilt around food and teaches a more compassionate, brain-savvy, and deeply satisfying way to nourish ourselves. If you’ve ever struggled with diets, food rules, or body image, this episode is a must-listen.
