There are 4 distinct stages of readiness when it comes to breaking free from food struggles. 

In today’s podcast, I sit down with returning guest Bethany Dotson, an expert in breaking toxic relationship patterns. While she helps people heal from unhealthy relationships and I help people heal their relationship with food, we’ve both seen the same hidden struggles play out.

Inside this episode, we uncover:

✅ The part of you that wants change — and the part of you that sabotages it 

✅ How to honestly identify which readiness stage you're in (and why this awareness changes everything)

✅ Next steps to move you forward, so food struggles can be a thing of the past

"Why do I keep doing this to myself!!" 🤦🏻‍♀️

If eating like a “normal” person is the one thing you can’t figure out (despite being smart, self-aware, and capable in so many other areas) … this episode is for you.

We’re exposing the inner mechanisms at play in your body and brain that drive the binge cycle. 

Because once you know the truth, you’ll see the path to your freedom.

You’ll learn:

• What’s really happening inside you that leads to bingeing (it will make so much sense once you get it)
  

• The real reason food feels so emotionally charged, and how to change it
  

• What internal shifts you need to make so the binge urges don’t even show up in the first place 

Get ready for a serious paradigm shift.

👉 What does it really take to create success — on YOUR terms, in a way that feels aligned and fulfilling?

To explore that, I sat down with someone who helped me more than he probably even knows: Russ Ruffino, founder and CEO of Clients on Demand.

(BTW last I checked, his business was generating over a million dollars per month — yes, per month!)

Here’s how I met him…

Back in 2018, I brought my business online for the first time. And I quickly realized... I had no idea what I was doing. 😅

So in 2019, I hired Russ’s team to help me learn Facebook ads. And they delivered—big time. I ran ads for about two years. 

But what REALLY changed my life was witnessing the way Russ thinks about success, leadership, and integrity.

Now, this episode isn’t about chasing money or hustle culture.

It’s about: 

✨ Growing into your full potential

✨ Defining success in a way that feels good and right for you

✨ Feeling rich in all areas of life — your health, your purpose, your peace

Whether you’re on a healing journey, building something meaningful, or just figuring out what’s next—this conversation is for you.

Food cravings. The bane of my existence for years. And I know they suck the life out of you too.

That’s why I’m dedicating not one, but TWO full podcast episodes to cravings — because this topic is that important.

In this first episode, we dive into one of the biggest reasons cravings feel so strong and so hard to resist.

We’re laying the groundwork, and we’ll go even deeper in Part 2 next week.

This is the conversation I’ve had in my head for years: 🧠

• 💭 Thought #1: “Self-love and self-acceptance are so important. I know I need to love myself more.”

• 💭 Thought #2: “But if I accept myself as I am now, I’ll let myself off the hook. I’m not where I want to be yet—don’t accept anything less!”

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Linda Downey, an incredible transformation expert with 40 years in health and wellness, to dive into this fear and speak about self-love and self-acceptance when we’re on a healing journey.

Tune in to discover how to love yourself as you are (without letting yourself off the hook) and use that love to LEVEL UP instead.
