This is episode number 25 of the Becoming Vibrant podcast. I’m so excited for you to hear today’s episode because I know that, now more than ever, a lot of you are feeling like you have a problem with food because you eat when you are stressed or emotional. I recorded an episode on emotional eating in season 1, but since then I have learned even more about why it happens and how we can rewire our brains to manage emotions without the need to shut them down with food.

I’m chatting with my assistant Kayla in this episode who graciously serves as my co host for the episodes that I don’t have a guest on because I don’t like talking to a video of myself. It’s just not the same. What lights me up is conversations and connecting with people and that’s the number one reason I’m a coach. I love to talk to people about deep topics. Alright, let’s talk about the 3 things you can start doing today to heal emotional eating.

This is episode number 24 of the Becoming Vibrant podcast. Have you heard of the enneagram? It’s gotten super trendy lately and you’ve probably seen people share their type. Hi, i’m a type 4! Or maybe you’ve seen enneagram memes. The enneagram is a tool you can use to better understand yourself so you can grow. So personal development lovers, this one’s for you! In this episode, Steph Barron Hall talks to us about how we can use the enneagram to grow into the best version of ourselves and also how to use the enneagram as a tool for improving our relationships. Her brand-new book, Enneagram in Love, is all about this. I was so so excited for this one because I personally have used the enneagram to work on myself and to communicate better in my marriage. I’m not kidding, knowing my type and my husband's type has been a helpful tool that I use every single day. I understand myself better and I understand him better even though we see the world in very different ways. This has helped us learn from each other and grow together so I am so happy i get to share this with you through this episode.

This is episode number 23 of the Becoming Vibrant podcast and today we are diving into the topic of exercise. Because here’s the thing, exercise can be amazing for your health, but you can also really damage your health with exercise too. It all comes back to your intention and listening to your body. And i know “just listen to your body” might sound kind of vague or you’re like “dude if i listen to my body i will just be a lazy couch potato”-- don’t worry! We talk about those things, so keep listening.

I had this conversation with Maryann Auger and I was so freaking excited for it. It’s funny because Maryann actually works with my husband Keegan at a local community centre. He works in the pool and she works in the gym. Keegan came home one day and was like hey you know that trainer Maryann? I think you would actually really like her, she posts the same stuff you do. I was super surprised because there aren't a whole lot of anti-diet and weight inclusive trainers out there but as soon as we connected on instagram I was so glad to have met her. I talk more about food and Maryann is an expert in fitness so I was excited to have her on the show to share that side of things.

This is episode # 22 of the becoming vibrant podcast and today we are talking about MONEY. What is your reaction when I say that? So many people, the majority actually, have an unhealthy or negative relationship with money. And I definitely used to be one of those people. I’ve learned so much and have really been working on it.

I had this conversation with Michelle Breau, who has actually been on the podcast before. She was episode number 1 when this podcast was a brand new baby podcast. Michelle has been my business coach for about 9 months and she has really turned into a close friend of mine. She really is amazing at helping people move through what’s blocking them from living the life they want to live, and money mindset was one of those things for me.

This is the first episode of season 2 of the Becoming Vibrant podcast and I am so excited. We’re going deep from the get-go. This episode is all about trauma and how it resides in the body. If you just said to yourself “oh, this isn’t for me because I haven’t experienced trauma”-- wait! This episode is helpful for anyone who has felt like they have a hard time managing stress and emotions since childhood, especially if you find yourself emotionally eating or trying to lose weight to feel like a “new you”. If you want to understand your food and body issues more deeply, keep listening.

In this episode, I got to have an amazing chat with Cassandra Solano, a clinical social worker and conscious relationship coach. She helps us figure out where the negative, destructive patterns in our adult relationships, both partnerships and friendships, come from. Childhood attachment trauma isn’t necessarily from what you would normally think of as “trauma”. Listen in on how even the small things that caused childhood wounds can resurface in our adult relationships, and learn how to begin to heal.
