Binge Eating Breakthrough

Tune in to discover one of my favorite tools - the power of intentions. Discover why setting an intention is a powerful way to get the brain to work for you. Learn why intentions are different than goals and how they can help you create the results you want.

I'll share plenty of examples of how I use the power of intentions in all areas of my life - not just food. In fact, I'm using it right now preparing this podcast!

If you want specific help around setting intentions this holiday season (2024) check out the Binge Free Holiday Workshop replay for a deeper dive on this topic.

What intentions can you set for yourself today? This concept is truly life-changing.

In this special finale to our 100th episode celebration month, I'm diving deep into YOUR most pressing questions about binge eating recovery. These are the real questions that keep you up at night, the ones you might be afraid to ask, and the ones that could unlock your next breakthrough.

From "Are we ever truly cured?" to "How do I stop once I've started?", I'm addressing the questions that reflect the heart of what my clients and listeners struggle with most. You'll hear:

* The truth about whether you'll "always be a binge eater" (and why this belief might be holding you back)

* What sustainable, nurturing eating actually looks like in real life

* Practical strategies for those intense moments when urges hit

* What to do with trigger foods

* The often-overlooked mental health impact of binge eating (and how to heal it)

Plus, I'm sharing real client success stories and personal experiences that show why complete recovery isn't just possible - it's absolutely within your reach.

Whether you're just starting your journey or feeling stuck in your progress, this episode offers the clarity and direction you've been seeking. Think of it as having a heart-to-heart conversation with someone who truly gets it.

Did you know that your brain will always go to work to answer any question that you ask it? This is why it's crucial to ask yourself powerful questions. The most unhelpful questions you can ask yourself are, "What's wrong with me?" and "Why can't I figure this out?".

In this episode, I'm sharing ten powerful questions you can ask yourself before, during, and after a binge. If you don't remember any other questions, remember the most powerful question you can ask yourself at any time: "How does this make sense?"

What You'll Learn:

* 3 questions to ask before a binge

* 3 questions to ask during a binge

* 3 questions to ask after a binge

* Why "How does this make sense?" is the most powerful question to ask at any time

These questions are powerful tools for managing binge eating because they interrupt automatic patterns, promote self-awareness, and help you reconnect with your true needs and motivations.

Powerful questions lead to powerful transformation. Tune in to start asking yourself powerful questions today.

In this eye-opening second part of our conversation with perimenopause expert Shelby Tutty, we dive deep into the intricate connection between hormonal changes and our relationship with food and body image.

Ever wondered why perimenopause is a prime time for developing disordered eating patterns? We unpack this rarely discussed topic, shedding light on how our bodies naturally change during this transition and why fighting against it can lead to more harm than good.

Shelby shares fascinating insights into:

* The surprising ways perimenopause impacts nutrient absorption and metabolism

* Why your old diet tricks might backfire spectacularly during this transition

* How to work with your changing body instead of fighting against it

* Practical tips for nourishing yourself without falling into restrictive patterns

If you've ever felt confused or frustrated by changes in your body, this episode offers a fresh perspective that might just change how you approach your health and well-being during perimenopause and beyond.

Don't miss this chance to gain a deeper understanding of your body and learn how to work with it, not against it, during this important time of life. Tune in for a conversation that's equal parts informative, compassionate, and empowering!

Note: There is some discussion of weight and calories in this episode. If this is triggering to you, please consider skipping this conversation. I do not condone or suggest weighing or counting calories for anyone with a disordered eating history.
