Foodie to Freedom

Corey Pickett

As a certified life coach with over 2,500 hours of coaching experience, I'm deeply passionate about helping LDS moms lose weight and finally feel at home in their bodies. As a mother of three in the Church, I know all too well the struggle of gaining weight through pregnancy, managing a household, and trying to cope with the unique pressures of Latter-day Saint culture. If you've ever felt like the best part of your day was an extra-large Dirty Diet Coke and a cookie, I get it. I've been there too. And if that made you smile or nod your head, this podcast is for you. My goal here is simple: to give you the tools and frameworks you've been searching for to change your relationship with food for good—so diets can become a thing of the past. On this podcast, I help you rebuild trust in yourself, so you can make choices from confidence and empowerment instead of shame and guilt. This is a space where we talk honestly about emotional eating, mindset, motherhood, and what it really takes to feel strong, calm, and in control around food—without rules, restriction, or starting over every Monday. So come have a listen, and start building a better relationship with yourself, your body, and your role as a mother in the church. Want more of this work?

    Rebel Eating: Why You Keep Bingeing and How to Break the Cycle

    In this episode, we're diving into something I like to call rebel eating — those moments when you find yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips or finishing off the kids' Halloween candy, not because you're hungry, but because you're rebelling. Maybe your diet's too damn strict. Maybe you've made so many food rules you feel like a prisoner in your own kitchen. Or maybe food's just been your go-to comfort for years. Whatever it is, today we're unpacking why this happens and how you can start breaking the cycle without relying on willpower or jumping on the next "no carbs ever again" plan. I'll walk you through what's really going on before the binge, how deprivation leads to rebellion every time, and how to check in with yourself in those moments without judgment. Because the truth is — the biggest hurdle in weight loss isn't carbs, calories, or cardio. It's learning how to handle your emotions without turning to food. If you're ready to ditch the guilt and get curious about what's really driving those rebel eating moments, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn: Why I call binge eating rebel eating How restrictive diets and food rules set you up to rebel How to spot the real need behind your cravings A simple check-in you can do mid-binge (without beating yourself up) Why curiosity, not shame, is the key to breaking the emotional eating cycle Links & Resources: Work with Me: 1:1 Coaching Info Follow me on Instagram Join the Email List If you loved this episode: Leave a review, share it with a friend, and tag me on Instagram so I can cheer you on!
