If you binge or eat compulsively and can look at your life through a wider lens, you might discover the theme of scarcity or “not enoughness” running through your life. It’s not simply not enough food, but not enough time, or not enough money, not enough coffee, or not enough attention, or love.��Or a pervasive feeling that you’re not enough.

Burnout isn’t just about overwork… it’s about disconnection.
From your body.
From your truth.
From the version of you that’s been quietly waiting to feel safe enough to be seen.

You don’t need another productivity hack.
You need rest.
You need repair.
You need to come home to yourself.

Your body is ready.
Your truth is safe.
Your healing begins here.

✨ Welcome, new friends! ✨
I’ve noticed so many new faces here lately, so I thought I’d reintroduce myself.

👋 I’m Dr. Anita Johnston, PhD, a psychologist, storyteller, and author of Eating in the Light of the Moon. For over three decades I’ve been helping women and folks worldwide understand the deeper meanings behind their struggles with food, eating, and body image.

🌙 What I share here:
• Insights and metaphors to help you discover the messages beneath food cravings and fears
• Tools to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion
• Resources to support eating disorder recovery and body acceptance
• Updates on online offerings, workshops, and retreats through the Light of the Moon Café

If you’re looking for guidance, inspiration, or a new way of seeing your relationship with food and your body, you’re in the right place. 💜

I’d love to hear from you: Where are you tuning in from, and how did you find me? 🌎✨
