Is Intuitive Eating BS? Can Binge Eating become a habit? Our Take on IE, Set Point & More
What If You Trusted Your Body Fully? | Listener Q&AThis week, Julia and I are diving into your brilliant questions once again… including some BIG ones that almost every recovery warrior asks at some point. Things like:🌀 How do I get my period back if I’ve been weight restored for a while?🌀 Will I ever stop gaining weight?🌀 What if binge eating becomes a bad habit?🌀 Is intuitive eating secretly diet culture in disguise?🌀 How do I deal with body-shaming parents?🌀 And what the hell is going on with the total fatigue that hits after finally starting to eat again?!We also touch on the difference between binge eating vs emotional eating, why it’s so normal to fear your metabolism is broken, and how recovery reveals the deeper work that’s waiting for us beyond food and body image.💬 “When we say yes to someone else when we mean no, we’re saying no to ourselves.”💬 “Binge eating is always a reaction to restriction — emotional eating is something different.”💬 “If you want to control your set point weight, you’re still not free.”💬 “People pleasing is not a personality trait. It’s a trauma response.”If you’re in the midst of recovery and wondering if what you’re going through is normal — this episode is for you. We’re giving it to you straight, with lived experience, compassion, and a few F-bombs for flavour.Resources & Links🖤 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/🖤 Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/🖤 Follow me on Instagram: @victoriakleinsmanofficial

I Disappoint People Every Day (And I’m Okay With It)🖤 Episode Description:In this raw solo episode, I share a deeply personal truth: I disappoint people every single day. And not because I’m careless or unkind—but because I’ve stopped abandoning myself to make others more comfortable.As a recovering people pleaser, I know what it feels like to panic at the thought of upsetting someone. To over-explain, to bend over backwards, to feel responsible for everyone’s feelings except my own.But here’s what I’ve learnt… people pleasing isn’t a personality trait. It’s a survival strategy. And it’s keeping you exhausted, disconnected, and resentful.In this ep, I unpack:How to know if you’re people pleasingJournal prompts & truth bombs to break the habitWhy saying “no” is the ultimate self-loveWhat happens when you stop over-explainingHow I balance motherhood, business, and boundariesAnd the game-changing mindset shift that let me reclaim my life.Let this episode be your permission slip to disappoint others… and choose yourself.Because you can’t live your truth and please everyone at the same time.💬 Powerful quotes from this episode:💬 “When you say yes to others, but it’s not a full-body yes… you’re saying no to yourself.”💬 “People pleasing is fear dressed up in high heels and a fur coat.”💬 “Disappointing others isn’t failure—it’s the price of authenticity.”💬 “No is a complete sentence.”💬 “You can’t live your truth and please everyone at the same time—choose yourself.”Resources & Links:🖤 Join my FREE support group: https://victoriakleinsman.com/free-support-group/🖤 Work with me: https://victoriakleinsman.com/🖤 Follow me on Instagram: @victoriakleinsmanofficial
