## Resource

In this episode of the We Are Women Podcast , Janeen Vosper speaks with Sandra Zeldes , founder of Eat Like A Goddess , about the hidden struggles many successful women face when it comes to food, weight, and self-care. Despite excelling in business and leadership, countless women quietly battle cravings, exhaustion, and shame about their bodies—cycles that traditional diets and willpower rarely solve. Sandra shares how years of chronic stress and even unhealed trauma often drive these struggles. When left unresolved, these invisible forces sabotage well-being and success, keeping women stuck in patterns of burnout and self-sabotage. Through her work, Sandra helps women break free by addressing root causes, not just surface-level strategies. Using tools like EFT tapping, she shows how to rewire subconscious responses, reduce stress, and create a new relationship with food and body. Instead of relying on restrictive diets or pushing harder—approaches that backfire and reinforce feelings of failure—Sandra advocates for a gentler, sustainable path. She teaches women to shift from deprivation to ease, reconnect with their intuition, and learn to listen to the body’s wisdom. By reframing weight struggles as protective patterns rather than personal failures, women can finally release shame and embrace self-care with confidence. Sandra explains that success in both health and business doesn’t come from force but from flow. The same drive that helps women thrive professionally can work against them when it comes to healing. True transformation happens when we let go of what blocks us, rather than pushing through. 🌐 Website: https://sandyzeldes.com/wearewomen/ 📧 Email: sandra@eatlikeagoddess.com 📱 Instagram: @eatlikeagoddess 🔗 LinkedIn: Sandra Zeldes This conversation is a powe…
