    Binge Eating Disorder Due To Trauma And Recovery with Geena Hymer

    In this episode, I'm joined by Geena Hymer, who opens up about her journey with binge eating disorder and the deep roots it had in her early life. Geena shares how her struggles began at just 8 years old, following her parents' sudden split, and how food became a source of comfort and emotional safety. She talks candidly about the trauma she experienced, including childhood sexual abuse and a later assault just before her 21st birthday, and how these events shaped her relationship with food. Geena describes how binge eating became a secret coping mechanism—something that offered comfort but also led to years of hiding, shame, and physical transformation. Her story is a raw and honest look into how trauma lives in the body and how binge eating, for many, isn't about food at all—it's about survival.  Connect with Geena: Get your 16-Day Healthy Brain Food Challenge  * Redirect your urge to binge * Feeding the mind with healthy content * Build new habits Can be claimed by reaching out at author.geenahymer@gmail.com Facebook page Instagram Website Connect with me: Facebook Instagram Website

    Breaking Trauma Cycles & Raising Thriving Kids With Maria Riegger

    In today's episode I sit down with Maria, an inspiring author, speaker, and parenting coach, who also has a background as a corporate attorney. She shares her journey of becoming a parenting coach after experiencing trauma in her own life. As she moved into motherhood, Maria realized that parenting on autopilot — simply repeating old patterns from her upbringing — was not the way she wanted to raise her son. This awakening led her to a deep exploration of conscious, connected parenting. Maria opens up about the challenges she faced, including growing up with maternal narcissistic abuse and emotional neglect, and how these early experiences shaped her initial parenting style. She talks about the moment she knew she needed to break the cycle: when she noticed how her own emotional dysregulation was affecting her relationship with her child. Through intentional work, research, and a commitment to change, Maria learned how to parent from a place of regulation, compassion, and true connection — creating a safe, loving environment where her son's voice was heard and honored. This conversation is full of practical insights for any parent who wants to heal generational trauma and build strong, healthy bonds with their children. Maria's story is a powerful reminder that no matter what our past holds, we have the power to choose a different path for the next generation.

    Dissolving Inner Child And Emotional Trauma with Jen Peters

    In this episode, I'm joined by Jen Peters—visionary, inner child and trauma healer, and bestselling author of Coming Home: The Path to Healing Your Inner Child. We explore the deep link between early childhood experiences, codependency, and narcissistic relationships —even for those who didn't grow up in obviously abusive homes. Jen shares powerful insights on how to break free from these patterns and begin the journey of healing, self-trust, and emotional freedom. Codependent behaviors often include people-pleasing, saying "yes" when we want to say "no," and prioritizing others' needs over our own. We might make excuses for bad behavior, believing others need time to change or that we can help them heal. But by continuously sacrificing our own needs and tolerating poor treatment, we prevent both ourselves and others from growing. True healing begins when we focus on ourselves, stop self-abandoning, and prioritize our own growth. Staying in these unhealthy dynamics doesn't help anyone—it's essential to recognize when it's time to step back and create space for change. Connect with Jen: Instagram Website Youtube Dissolving Codependency Course that is specificly for those who have either been raised in a narcissitic family system, has a history of narcisisitic dynamics or who has self abandoning / codependent patterning and wishes to move beyond these patterns.
