Feeding the Mind: Nutrition and Emotional Wellness

What we feed our bodies is deeply connected to how we feel, think, and show up in our daily lives. In this episode of Black Issues Forum with PBS NC, Sara Wilder joins the conversation to explore the link between nutrition, mental health, and emotional balance — uncovering how small, mindful choices can nourish both the body and mind.

Sara, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of RightSize Perspective, shares insights from her 15+ years of experience helping individuals reconnect with themselves through practical wellness strategies. Alongside other experts and advocates, she discusses how stress, emotional fatigue, and modern lifestyles affect our relationship with food and self-care — and what we can do to create balance.

This episode reminds us that emotional wellness isn’t only about how we think — it’s also about what we consume, how we rest, and the compassion we extend to ourselves.
