I'm always looking for stories of inspiration and transformation and sometimes I find them in surprising places. I just finished watching a season of the TV show Survivor and found a lot of inspiration from several participants on the show.
If you're familiar with the show you might be surprised to hear the source of my inspiration. If you aren't familiar with it - I give you enough context to be able to gain your own insights without needing to watch it for yourself (and there are some spoilers if you happen to be watching it).
Tune in to find out what inspired me, how you can apply these stories of transformation to yourself, and discover your own sources of inspiration and motivation. They are all around you, waiting to be found.

Do you know the words that float through your mind right before a binge? It's likely that they are some version of "I can't...".
I can't count how many times I binged, truly believing that I couldn't handle the feeling in my body. (Notice what I did there starting that sentence with I can't...!)
Today, we are diving into this topic. How do you figure out what is going through your mind before a binge? For many people, there is nothing there - just a compulsion to get the food. Tune in to discover how to gain awareness of the words that send you to the food and how to create a new response for yourself.
Discover four key steps to going from someone who thinks they can't handle it to someone who is willing to get curious, shift their perspective, and get clear on what is really holding them back. This episode has the potential to transform the way you think about yourself.
