   Hungry for Connection: On Loneliness, Body Image, and Disordered Eating with Dr. Vanessa Scaringi and Kate Garland, LCSW

   This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit abbieattwoodwellness.substack.com (https://abbieattwoodwellness.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_7) What if our struggles with food and body image have as much to do with our need for safety and connection as they do with food itself? Upgrade to paid to hear the second half of the conversation right HERE (https://abbieattwoodwellness.substack.com/subscribe). Today I'm welcoming back Dr. Vanessa Scaringi and Kate Garland, therapists, eating disorder specialists, and authors of Hungry for Connection: Heal Your Relationships with Food and People in an Insecurely Attached World. In our first conversation, we explored attachment theory and how our relationships with other people can shape our relationships with food and our bodies. This time, we're taking that conversation further, looking at how diet culture, weight-loss messaging, and the world we're living in can make it difficult to trust ourselves and feel like we belong. Part One: Free for everyone In the first part of our conversation, we explore: *How attachment theory helps us understand our relationships with food and other people *Why fitting in and genuinely belonging are two very different things *The connection between loneliness, disordered eating, and our need for safety *How our relationships can influence our ability to trust ourselves *Why so much of diet culture recovery involves more than talking about food or bodies Part Two: For paid subscribers Upgrade right here (https://abbieattwoodwellness.substack.com/subscribe) to get access to part two. In the second half, we get into: *The GLP-1 era and how increased weight-loss pressure is impacting people trying to make peace with food and their bodies *Why diet culture is so good at selling us belonging and acceptance *The exhausting pressure to optimize ourselves and how that disrupts our connection with self and others *How to learn to trust yourself again, and why it doesn’t mean always making the “right” decision *How we can loosen our dependence on external rules and reassurance *Why disordered eating isn’t an individual failure, and who gets let off the hook when we treat it like one. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

Published 20 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And if I can get her to that realization that I'm having one day sooner, that is worth doing. And that was kind of the urgency behind the book was like, can I get any other women or girls to the reckoning I'm having at 40 something one day, one year, one month sooner so that they have more of their lives to with which to summon and create and play with an authentic kind of freedom. Yeah. It's like you, the way you describe that, it's like we are paying some, you know, you said, you said in the little mermaid, she trades her voice for that, you know, promise of a happy ending. And it's kind of like we start reckoning with this and we start realizing like what it's cost us, like what, It's like we're paying for some fake insurance policy that never actually saves us. […]
