Travel Triggers: Fear of Flying, Eating Around Others, and Transitioning Home

Travel isn’t just about the logistics of getting from one place to another — it’s the nervous system spikes, the old body image stories that flare when you’re around people from your past, and the challenge of feeding yourself in a group.

In this episode, I talk about a recent trip with college friends and the layers that came with it:

Flight anxiety and how I work with my body in real time when panic hits mid-air
The anticipatory dread before seeing old friends (and why it often feels worse than the reality)
Navigating group meals without abandoning your own needs
The strange crash that happens when you come home and how to soften that landing
What it takes to speak up when diet culture sneaks into social situations

If you’ve ever come back from a trip feeling heavy, disconnected, or like you lost your footing with food, you’re not alone. This conversation unpacks why travel brings all of this to the surface and how to move through it without betraying yourself.
