Binge Breakthrough Understand why you binge eat and how to stop.

Are you limiting yourself in life because you don't have the results you want yet? Is it possible to lessen your focus on results and increase your focus on experiences and memories?
Join me this week as I reflect on my recent experience at the Eugene Marathon and what I learned from it. You'll get to hear all about the race as I share my experience and my personal takeaways. I also offer some questions and insights for you to consider for your own journey with food and your body.

I was recently asked this question: "What was the biggest change for you that allowed you to go from someone who binges to someone who doesn't do that anymore?"
Tune in today as I share the immediate answer that came to me in the moment - the 4 things that have changed my relationship with food.
After further reflection, I've determined that it comes down to three simple yet powerful words: Connection, Compassion, and Curiosity. I share what each of these has looked like in my own journey and ask you to explore how they are showing up in your relationship with food.

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.
