Binge Eating Breakthrough

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 scary
How your nervous system borrows calm from others
What happens when you're met with kindness
How to find a safe person to talk to
If you've been carrying your struggle with food by yourself and wondering whether anyone could understand, this episode is for you.

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 built
What two-way trust with your body means
How to tell which voice you're hearing
What 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.

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 same
Why numbing isn't automatically a problem
How to recognize what you actually need and whether you're getting it
How greater awareness gives you more choice in what happens next
If 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.

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 rest
What productivity and staying in motion might be doing for you
Why thoughts, emotions, and sensations can get louder when you slow down
How to start getting curious about your own relationship with rest
If 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.

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 eating
What ADHD explains and what it doesn't
How attention and hunger and fullness cues might be connected
The 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.
