    What Self-Trust Around Food Actually Means

    "I just don't trust myself around food." If that sentence is familiar, this episode is for you. Today I'm unpacking what self-trust actually is, and what it isn't, because most of us are working toward a version of self-trust that was never achievable to begin with. And that definition is quietly keeping us stuck. What You'll Discover: Why the most common definition of self-trust sets you up to fail before you even beginWhat self-trust actually isThe difference between self-monitoring and self-awareness, and why one creates more shame while the other creates real changeWhy respect is often more accessible than love, and how practicing respect with your body builds the safety that self-trust actually requiresIf you've ever dismissed your own progress because you didn't get it perfect, this episode will give you a different place to stand. Mentioned in this episode: The Gathering is a monthly guided experience for women who want to slow down and learn how to trust themselves. Each session, I bring the topics I'm personally working through and the patterns I keep seeing in my clients, and we go there together. Our most recent session was a full conversation on self-trust, self-respect and self-love. Replays are available for one month until the next live call.    What to Do After a Binge: your 5 step guide to return to yourself after a binge or out of control moment with food.

    Your Food Struggles Might Actually Be a Transition Problem

    If you've ever wondered why binge eating or emotional eating seems to happen at the same times of day, after work, after lunch, on Sunday nights, or when you get home from a trip, this episode is going to reframe everything.  The answer might not be about food at all. It might be about transitions. In this episode I break down what transitions actually are, why the brain finds them so hard to navigate, and how so many binge eating triggers are really just transition moments your nervous system didn't know how to get through.  Whether you're dealing with the small daily transitions that fly under the radar or a bigger life change that's been quietly driving your eating, this episode will help you finally understand what's happening and what to do about it. What You'll Discover: Why your brain treats transitions as a threat and how that drives binge eating and stress eating urgesThe daily transition moments most people never recognize and how to spot the ones that are hardest for youHow to tell if a big life transition is behind your current food struggles and the question to ask yourself right nowHow to minimize transitions where you can — a nervous system strategy that also happens to be a productivity strategyA practical framework for navigating the transitions you can't avoid so food stops being your brain's default relief valve If you've ever found yourself reaching for food after work, during a stressful season, or at the same time every day without knowing why, this episode will help you finally connect those dots. Binge eating triggers aren't random. And understanding them is the first step to changing them.  Do you want help navigating big or small transitions? Schedule a Breakthrough Call today.

A contestant on the survival show Alone had everything he needed to win and tapped out on day eight anyway. Not because of anything going wrong on the outside. Because of everything he had never learned to be with on the inside. His story reveals something important about why binge eating happens and why willpower will never be the answer.  What You'll Discover: Why high-achieving people who struggle with binge eating often don't recognize their own coping mechanismsWhat binge eating and emotional avoidance have in common — and what the body is actually reaching forThe difference between a willpower problem and a capacity problem — and why it changes everything about binge eating recoveryWhy building capacity to be with difficult emotions is hard to do alone — and what support actually looks like If you've ever wondered why you binge eat even when life looks fine from the outside, or why staying busy feels easier than slowing down, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on underneath.  If you're ready for support with your relationship with food, schedule a Breakthrough Call today.  Want to know why you struggle with food and what to do next?

    What Running the Boston Marathon Taught Me About Chasing Any Goal

    Why Binge Eating Feels So Hard to Talk About

    There is a thought that lives alongside binge eating for almost everyone who struggles with it: "nobody can know".  In this episode I share my own story of hiding. The years of secrecy, what it actually cost me, and what changed when I finally let someone in.  If you've never told a single person about your struggle with food, or if you've told someone and still felt completely alone in it, this episode is for you. What You'll Discover: Why shame forces us to hide and how that secrecy keeps the cycle going longer than almost anything elseWhy loving support isn't always enough and what actually makes the differenceThe vitamin metaphor for understanding why you can't see yourself clearly from the insideWhat co-regulation is and why the right support changes things at a nervous system level, not just emotionallyIf you've been struggling alone and wondering whether it's time to reach out, or whether reaching out would even help, this episode will give you a real answer.  Related episodes:  How to Talk to Your Loved Ones About Your Secret EatingThe Power of Co-Regulation  Book a Breakthrough Call today.
