Binge Eating Breakthrough

In this episode, I'm exploring how to know when it's time to change something, even something you love. Sometimes the signs are obvious, like something that isn't working or has become painful. Other times they're quieter: something that used to light you up doesn't feel as exciting anymore, or an idea keeps coming back that you can't stop wondering about. 
Learn the signs that something in your life may be ready to change, why changing from "I want more" works so much better than changing from "I'm broken," and hear about a change I'm making with this podcast, including what's staying the same. 
What you'll discover:
The quiet signs it's time for a change
Why the energy you change from matters
What's changing with this podcast
What's staying exactly the same 
If you've been sensing that something in your life is ready to change, but you aren't sure how to tell, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm exploring why change can feel so hard, even when it's something you want. You might know you want to stop binge eating, start eating regular meals, or make a change in your work or your life. You might even know the steps, and still find yourself not taking them, or slipping back into old patterns after a good start. I explore what your nervous system has to do with resistance to change, why familiar can feel safer than better, and how to help a change feel safe enough to keep going.
What you'll discover:
Why knowing what to do isn't enough
The three things your brain is wired for
Why familiar feels safer than better
How to help change feel safe enough
If you've ever said, "I know what to do, I just can't make myself do it," this episode is for you.

In this episode, I'm exploring why it can be so hard to know what you want, even when you know exactly what you don't want. Maybe you're trying to stop binge eating, and so much of your focus has gone to what to avoid that you've never had space to ask what you'd actually love. Or maybe something new has started pulling at you in your work, your relationships, or your life, and part of you says you should just be grateful for what you have. Either way, I explore why your wants are meant to change over time, why that's a normal part of being human, and how to let yourself want something different without having to act on it yet.
What you'll discover:
Why your brain focuses on what you don’t want
The reason your wants keep changing
Why wanting more can feel ungrateful
One of my favorite prompts for letting yourself dream
If you know exactly what you don't want but feel stumped when someone asks what you do want, this episode is for you.
