All too often, we go, go, go in the summer months from vacation to hauling the kids to/from summer camp, to this and that and before you know it, it's back-to-school tornado time and we forget to take a hot second to nourish ourselves. We run ourselves ragged and tend to everyone else's needs before our own.

So, this month's episodes are all meant to be moments just for you, to slow down, pause and ponder one aspect of your life that might need deeper exploration.

For me, one of those areas is all about emotional eating.

My guest, Julie Simon, simplifies how to nurture yourself, rewire your brain and end emotional eating, once and for all. In this episode, you will learn:

• What is "Emotional Eating" and why do we (really) do it?
• How to cultivate the "Inner Nurturer" inside you and why
• How to re-define "self-regulation" to be a positive thing, a GIFT we give ourselves
• Seven powerful mindfulness skills that help strengthen your Inner Nurturer and rewire your brain

I've shared a little bit of my personal story in past episodes as I'm recovering from body shame and getting comfortable in my own skin. We went there in today's episode as well.

So if this is a tricky topic for you, please know you are not alone. I hope my open and honest conversation with Julie today helps you begin to heal as well.

Let's #DoTheThing.
