Embodied Writing Warrior: Food Freedom, Creativity & Spiritual Reclamation

178. How Fan Fiction Helped Me Heal My Relationship with Food (When Nothing Else Worked)

Kayla MacDonald

In this raw and wildly personal origin story, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really healed my relationship with food. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t macros, mindset work, or meal prep.

It was fan fiction. Yes, really.

From binge eating and body shame to reclaiming my self-worth, sexuality, and soul through storytelling, this episode shares how writing became my sacred medicine. You’ll hear how creating characters, worldbuilding, and journaling literally saved my life - and how it can transform yours, too.

If you’ve ever struggled with emotional eating, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re too much, this episode is a permission slip to stop forcing and start creating. Because your story isn’t over. You’re not broken. You’re just unwritten.

💫 What You’ll Hear Inside:

  • Why traditional health coaching failed me after 7 years in the industry
  • The real reason I binged (and what actually stopped it)
  • How fan fiction became the portal to healing, self-trust, and even true love
  • The surprising power of character work and fantasy in emotional alchemy
  • How I accidentally wrote my soulmate into existence
  • Why I believe storytelling is a more powerful tool for transformation than discipline or willpower
