Episode 200 — Binge Eating and Tricky Relationships: Kelsea – Session 2 (Part 2)

In this milestone episode of the Slow Living Podcast, we continue our real-time coaching journey with Kelsea as she courageously opens up about her relationship with food, her family, and her own self-worth.

This session dives deep into two major themes:

• Healing patterns with food — including binge eating, finding flexibility with “rules,” and reframing how to celebrate wins without guilt.
• Navigating tricky relationships — having hard but honest conversations with loved ones, setting boundaries that actually stick, and finding confidence in speaking up for yourself while still showing compassion.

Kelsea shares updates on her recent wins, including successfully closing her kitchen at 8 p.m., walking over 10,000 steps a day, delaying cannabis use until later in the day, and sharing her progress with both her husband Ryan and her dad — who are both proud of her growth. She also talks about how binaural beats have helped her quiet the constant “negative chatter” and Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs).

We explore the limits of strategies like “grey rocking” when dealing with challenging family members, and how shifting to a more confident, self-assured approach can feel both liberating and uncomfortable. Kelsea reflects on the tension between wanting to “figure things out” alone versus letting others in for support.

Finally, we discuss the importance of creating a three-year vision with Ryan, planning ahead for potential stressors (like upcoming birthdays), and embracing flexibility rather than all-or-nothing thinking.
