Binge Eating Breakthrough

In this episode, I'm talking about what actually creates peace with food, because it's probably not what you've been told. Maybe you're still in it, trying every rule and every plan to stop binge eating or emotional eating. Or maybe you've already tried most of what's out there, from books to structured programs, and you're left wondering why none of it fully stuck. 

Either way, I'm breaking down the four things that actually g...

In this episode, I'm continuing last week's conversation about GLP-1 medications, but this time I brought in someone who actually is the expert. Dr. Matthea Rentea, a board certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician, joins me to answer the questions I'm not qualified to answer myself. 

Maybe you're on a GLP-1 right now and know there's more to it than what your last appointment covered. Or maybe you're consideri...

In this episode, I'm answering a handful of questions that come up again and again around GLP-1 medications and binge eating. Maybe you're on one right now and still working out what it means for you. Or maybe you're considering starting one and aren't sure what to expect. Either way, I get into what these medications can actually do, what they can't touch, and what it really takes to feel at peace with food, whether you use one or...

In this episode, I'm answering a question your brain may already be asking without you realizing it. Maybe you're still in it, trying to stop binge eating or find some peace with food. Or maybe you've already reached your goal and don't know what to do with yourself, or your life, without the constant food noise. Either way, I explore why the food struggle can quietly become an identity, and what it actually takes to figure out who...

This episode explores the part that goes numb, zones out, and checks out when things get hard, and what it means that so much eating happens while we're not fully there. I draw on my own experience of surfacing mid-binge and not knowing where I'd been, and look at why eating on autopilot makes complete sense as a protective strategy, and what it actually takes to start building enough safety to stay present.

What You'll Discover:

Does it ever feel like you are living a double life? Where you eat one way around other people but a completely different way in secret? Do you have a part of you that wants to hide your eating behaviors but don't understand why you do it or how to stop?

In this episode, I share from my own experience of hiding my binge eating for years, including a memory of sneaking food as a young child, and explore why secret eating and hiding f...

If the idea of feeling safe in your body sounds unfamiliar, or even a little strange, you're not alone. In this episode we explore why so many people disconnect from their bodies in the first place, why that disconnection makes complete sense as a nervous system response, and what safety in the body actually feels like when you begin to find it. 

You'll also get a short guided experience to help you recognize that feeling for ...

You did the work to let go of the rules, challenge the rigidity, and give yourself permission to eat freely. And then the pendulum swung in the other direction, and the freedom didn't feel like freedom at all. 

This episode is for anyone who has experienced food freedom and found it more complicated than expected, and for anyone holding tightly to restriction because the other end of the pendulum looks too frightening to risk.

T...

This episode comes directly from a listener question, one I hear in some form regularly. What do you do when your doctor has told you that losing weight is medically necessary, but everything you've tried has kept you stuck in the same cycle? 

With her permission, I share a message from a listener who has been in the binge and restrict cycle for over 45 years and is navigating real health consequences. We discuss why restrictio...

If the number on the scale has been your primary way of knowing whether things are going well with food, this episode is for you. A conversation with a new client, who is literally a scientist, sparked something I knew I had to bring to the podcast.

You can be making real progress, feeling calmer around food, binging less, feeling more connected, and still find yourself on the scale waiting for the number to confirm what you're alre...

"I just don't trust myself around food." If that sentence is familiar, this episode is for you. 

Today I'm unpacking what self-trust actually is, and what it isn't, because most people are working toward a version of self-trust that was never achievable to begin with. And that definition might quietly be keeping you stuck.

What You'll Discover:

• Why the most common definition of self-trust sets you up to fail before you even b...

If you've ever wondered why binge eating or emotional eating seems to happen at the same times of day, after work, after lunch, on Sunday nights, or when you get home from a trip, this episode is going to reframe everything. 

The answer might not be about food at all. It might be about transitions.

In this episode I break down what transitions actually are, why the brain finds them so hard to navigate, and how so many binge eati...

If you struggle with binge eating and feel like you're holding it together on the outside while something quietly unravels on the inside, this episode is for you.

A contestant on the survival show Alone had everything he needed to win and tapped out on day eight anyway. Not because of anything going wrong on the outside. Because of everything he had never learned to be with on the inside. His story reveals something important about ...

This week's episode is a little different. I recently crossed the finish line at the 130th Boston Marathon, and I invited my friend and fellow coach Shelby Tutty to sit down with me for a conversation about the race, the journey, and what it actually feels like to reach a goal you've been chasing for years.

But this isn't just a race recap. If you have a dream you've been putting off, a goal that feels just out of reach, or somethin...

There is a thought that lives alongside binge eating for almost everyone who struggles with it: "nobody can know". 

In this episode I share my own story of hiding. The years of secrecy, what it actually cost me, and what changed when I finally let someone in. 

If you've never told a single person about your struggle with food, or if you've told someone and still felt completely alone in it, this episode is for you.

Most people have a picture in their mind of what it looks like to finally break free from binge eating — a switch that flips or a moment that changes everything. The reality is different. And in a lot of ways, it's more hopeful. 

In this episode, I walk through the phases people often move through on the journey to food freedom, not as a prescribed timeline, but as a map of recognizable places you might find yourself.&nbs...

What if the key to breaking free from binge eating isn't more control, but less fighting? 

In this episode, I'm talking about what it actually looks like to stop going to war with the part of you that binges, and what becomes possible when you do.

• The different types of parts that exist within each of us and their unique roles
• Why the part that binges feels so urgent
• Three concrete steps for shifting...

What if the part of you that binges isn't broken and isn't something to be eliminated? 

In this episode, I'm sharing something that changed my own relationship with food, and that I've watched change so much for the people I work with. 

If you've ever hated that part of yourself, felt ashamed of it, or wondered why fighting it so hard hasn't made it go away, this episode is for you.

What You'll Discover:

• Why fighting the ...

If you've genuinely wanted to change your relationship with food and still found yourself stuck, this episode is for you. We explore why change feels so difficult even when the desire is real, and it has nothing to do with willpower or weakness.
