Customer Reviews
Truly grateful for this podcast
I just turned 40 and started to face my emotional eating issues. I did a quick search and thankfully landed on this podcast first. I have battled with weight and food obsessions since I was a teenager. I appreciate the openness of this podcast, the honesty, and compassion. I feel stronger already with knowing there are so many of us trying to come to terms with their eating concerns. Thank you, Laurie! Thank you for making me realize I’m not alone.
Just what I needed
I so appreciate the rawness and openness and honesty. So many things have been said that truly opened my eyes. My behaviors I’d try to rationalize or sometimes felt I was the only one struggling with it, but I realize I’m not. And to fix it I can now label it and began to move forward. Sometimes I feel like a closet eater, especially when I want to cover up my emotions or stress. And then I sabotage myself when I’ve done really well. Because I don’t know how to take a compliment or talk about emotions when they show up. I am beginning my journey and journaling my feelings. If I have to write down why I decided to overeat to hold myself accountable and deal with feeling that’ll be an easier way to start. I’m only 5 episodes in, but I can completely relate. Thanks so much!
thankful for this podcast🙏🏽
I have always struggled with compulsive overeating but I never considered the underlying reasons for it. This podcast creates a space of freedom in knowing I’m not the only one struggling, as well as lots of wisdom + practical advice! Would definitely recommend ✨
