    Your Definition of Food Freedom Might Be Keeping You Stuck

    In this episode, I'm asking a question you may never have put into words: what does food freedom mean to you? Maybe you're still in it, trying to stop binge eating or quiet the food noise. Or maybe you've made progress and still feel like something is missing. Either way, I explore how the picture of food freedom you're carrying can unintentionally keep you stuck with emotional eating and binge eating, and how to create a definition your brain can move toward. I also share my own definition and what came up for people at a live workshop on this topic.  What You'll Discover Why your brain doesn't hear the "don't"Three questions to test your definition of food freedomWhat your younger self wants you to know about foodHow to live into your definition one experience at a timeIf you've ever said you want food freedom but couldn't quite describe what it would look like, this episode is for you. If you'd like a place to practice living into your definition with the support of people who understand, learn more about Cultivate.   Cultivate Group Coaching Program is open now.

    Why It's So Hard to Tell Anyone About Your Eating (and What Changes When You Do)

    In this episode, I'm exploring why it can feel so hard to tell anyone how much you struggle with food. Maybe you've never told a single person about your binge eating or emotional eating. Or maybe someone knows a little, but not the whole story.  Either way, I share what happened when I finally told my husband about my binge eating, why keeping it hidden keeps you stuck, and how the right support can help with binge eating, emotional eating, or overeating so you're no longer carrying it alone. What you'll discover: Why telling someone feels so scaryHow your nervous system borrows calm from othersWhat happens when you're met with kindnessHow to find a safe person to talk toIf you've been carrying your struggle with food by yourself and wondering whether anyone could understand, this episode is for you.

    Why "Just Trust Your Body" Doesn't Work Yet

    In this episode, I'm looking at advice you've probably heard many times: "just trust your body." Maybe you're still in it, trying to stop binge eating and wondering why intuitive eating hasn't worked for you. Or maybe you've made progress and still don't fully trust yourself around food.  Either way, I explore why trusting your body isn't something you can simply decide, why your hunger signals can feel so unreliable after years of dieting and restriction, and how learning to tell the difference between your protective parts and your anchored self helps you rebuild trust with food and your body.  What you'll discover: Why trust with your body has to be builtWhat two-way trust with your body meansHow to tell which voice you're hearingWhat food freedom looks like for you If you've ever tried to trust your body and walked away feeling like you're the exception, this episode is for you.  If you would like to explore getting support with your eating challenges, schedule a Breakthrough Call today.   Cultivate Group Coaching Program is open now.

    The Difference Between Numbing Out and Resting

    From the outside, rest and numbing out can look exactly the same. Sitting on the couch. Watching TV. Scrolling your phone. Reading a book. Even eating. In this episode, we’re looking beyond the activity itself to understand what it’s actually doing for you. I’ll share why numbing isn’t automatically a problem, how to recognize what you actually need, and a recent Monday when I caught myself in a pattern that used to lead to a binge and made a different choice. What You'll Discover: Why rest and numbing can look exactly the sameWhy numbing isn't automatically a problemHow to recognize what you actually need and whether you're getting itHow greater awareness gives you more choice in what happens nextIf you've ever wondered whether you're actually resting or just checking out, this episode will give you a different way to understand what's happening. If you're wondering whether your nervous system might be part of this pattern for you, grab my free guide, Mapping Your Nervous System.

    Why Rest Feels Unproductive (Even When You Need It)

    You know you need rest. You might even be exhausted. But when you finally have the chance to stop, you find yourself reaching for your phone, thinking about everything you should be doing, or getting back up to tackle one more thing. In this episode, we're looking at the gap between knowing you need rest and actually being able to take it. I talk about why stopping can feel surprisingly uncomfortable, what staying in motion might be doing for you, and why the discomfort that shows up when you slow down may be useful information rather than evidence that you're bad at resting. What You'll Discover: Why knowing you need rest doesn't automatically make it easy to restWhat productivity and staying in motion might be doing for youWhy thoughts, emotions, and sensations can get louder when you slow downHow to start getting curious about your own relationship with restIf you've ever wondered why you can't seem to relax even when you know how much you need it, this episode will help you look at rest through a different lens. If you're wondering whether your nervous system might be part of what's making rest so difficult, grab my free guide, Mapping Your Nervous System. Cultivate Group Coaching Program is open now.

    ADHD and Binge Eating: What's the Connection?

    Is there really a connection between ADHD and binge eating? Research shows ADHD and binge eating show up together far more than chance would explain, and once you see what's actually driving that overlap, some of your own patterns might finally make sense. In this episode, I'm looking at what the research actually tells us about ADHD and binge eating and, more importantly, how this information might help you better understand your own eating patterns. What You'll Discover: The real research connection between ADHD and binge eatingWhat ADHD explains and what it doesn'tHow attention and hunger and fullness cues might be connectedThe question worth asking instead of "is ADHD why I binge?"If you've been diagnosed with ADHD, suspect you might have it, or simply recognize yourself in some of these patterns, this episode is for you.

    Who Are You Practicing Becoming?

    In this episode I'm exploring a question most of us have never consciously asked ourselves: Who am I practicing becoming? Maybe you're still deep in the binge and restrict cycle, waiting for the day it finally stops.

What you'll discover: Why you're always practicing becoming someone, whether you realize it or notThe difference between internal and external when-then thinkingWhy your nervous system fights change even when you want itWhat it actually means to build your life from the inside outIf you've ever thought your peace was waiting on the other side of losing weight, changing jobs, or someone else finally changing, this episode is for you.
