When we think about food, many of us imagine the need to control or restrict. We focus on avoiding the “bad” and are often overwhelmed by the pressure to be perfect. But what if we approached our food choices—and our work—differently? What if we embraced curiosity as the foundation for building a healthier relationship with both?

Curiosity has the power to shift our mindset, turning food and work into opportunities for exploration and joy. Instead of worrying about what we shouldn’t be doing, we can open ourselves up to what we can discover, learn and enjoy. This is the key to building a sustainable and positive relationship with both food and work.
