In today’s episode of the Binge Free Bestie Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most persistent myths out there: that intuitive eating is just an excuse to throw all nutrition out the window and eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Let me be super clear- that’s just diet culture talking. So, if you’ve ever worried that giving yourself unconditional permission to eat means you’re doomed to eat pizza for every meal forever, this episode is for you.

We’re breaking this down piece by piece - starting with why diet culture is so terrified of intuitive eating. Spoiler alert: it’s because intuitive eating takes away their power and puts it back in your hands. No more selling you shame or quick fixes that never stick. No more getting stuck in the endless cycle of restriction and bingeing.

We’ll also chat about what unconditional permission to eat actually means (hint: it’s not about ignoring your body’s needs). Instead, it’s about tuning in, getting curious, and rebuilding trust with yourself. It’s about discovering what feels good for you — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — without guilt or fear.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to tune out the diet culture noise and start listening to your own body’s wisdom. Because intuitive eating isn’t about “giving up” — it’s about finally living.

So, let’s do this, bestie. Tune in, trust your body, and know that you are worthy exactly as you are.

Until next time — keep showing up for yourself!

You’ve been told it’s all about willpower—that if you just tried harder, you’d finally stop the binge eating cycles. But… let’s be real: how’s that been working out for you?

In this powerful episode of the Binge Free Bestie Podcast, I’m flipping the script on everything you thought you knew about binge eating recovery. Spoiler alert: it’s not about being “strong enough” to say no to chips or ice cream. It’s about understanding what’s driving those urges in the first place.

Here’s the deal: binge eating is a response, not a personal failing. It’s a reaction to deprivation, emotional overwhelm, and diet culture nonsense—NOT a lack of willpower. So if you’ve been stuck in the cycle of shame, thinking you’re “just not disciplined enough,” let this episode be your permission slip to stop the self-blame.

We’ll unpack:

• Why willpower is a finite resource (and how diet culture exploits this truth!)

• How restriction, “off-limits” foods, and ignoring your hunger cues mess with your biology (and how to stop the cycle)

• The missing link: emotional regulation—why feelings, not food, are driving your binges

Most importantly, I’ll walk you through what does work—nourishment, permission, and emotional regulation. Because binge eating isn’t about controlling yourself more—it’s about healing the real reasons underneath.

Ready to start listening to your body instead of diet culture? Let’s do it together.

Remember: you’re not broken. You’re human. Let’s rebuild trust in your body and mind together.

There’s a worrying wave of “thin is in” content making its way back into our feeds — SkinnyTok, “clean eating aesthetics,” “that girl” routines, and even throwbacks to the heroin chic era (yep… that again). But let’s be clear: this is not wellness. This is repackaged diet culture — and it’s dangerous.

In this fiery and deeply compassionate episode, we unpack:

• Why the return of thin-obsessed trends is so harmful — especially for those in recovery
• How diet culture disguises control as “discipline”
• Why chasing thinness is not a path to health, healing, or peace
• Practical tools to protect your nervous system, curate your feed, and stay rooted in your truth
• How to spot the sneaky ways diet culture still shows up in your healing journey

If you’ve ever felt triggered by “What I Eat in a Day” videos, shamed for taking up space, or like you're slipping backward in your healing — this one’s for you. 💜

Let’s talk about the subtle ways diet culture still manipulates you—even after you’ve ditched the scale and sworn off meal plans. 

This episode is for the recovery girlies who know better but still feel guilty after a cookie… or who wonder if maybe they “just need more discipline.” If that’s you, grab your coffee and listen in—we’re rewriting the script today.

This episode covers:

• Why bingeing isn’t a failure—it’s a survival response

• How sneaky perfectionism masks itself as “clean eating”

• Why healing doesn’t require perfection, only safety
