Most people who crave feel shame about them. They think they're the only one who struggles with cravings and often feel weak and powerless.

But facing this shame is one of the best things one can do to heal!

Shame is toxic and self perpetuates. When we let go of shame, healing happens automatically.

In my practice over the last decade, helping women overcome their cravings and food obsessions, I've noticed a few things about things they have in common. 

Women who have cravings are more sensitive!

This sensitivity is a good thing, but it can feel overwhelming when we don't know how to navigate it?

Do you feel like you're more sensitive than most of the people you know?

Listen and learn.

Often, when we want to lose weight, we bring intensity to our efforts, vow to go to the gym, we restrict food, in amounts or types of food and this can create stress.

Stress can cause weight gain, cravings, overeating, which lead to a downward spiral of beating ourselves up.

There’s another way to do it that feels good, that honors the wisdom of your body!

You are not your behavior, especially not your unwanted behavior. You are a unique being put on this earth to do great things. You are not here to be frustrated with your body and struggle with cravings.

If you’re experiencing cravings or find yourself overeating, it’s simply a symptom of some imbalance. It doesn’t mean you’re weak or a bad person, it just means that some gentle attention is required.

If you avoid keeping certain “trigger” foods in your house because you’re afraid you’ll lose control, and eat WAY too much, this podcast is for you.

Food is your friend, but the tension and stress in your mind and body, that lead to losing control with food are not.

In this episode, I share some ideas about how to let go of the tensions (aka stress) that lead to the behaviors you don’t want.

We all deserve to have peace within, especially around food. It’s your birthright.

As women, we often fall into a negative loop of criticizing our bodies. We wear ourselves down, and it can create symptoms, even weight gain.

This is such an important mental habit to notice so we can start changing it.

We as women need to start treating our bodies like we would a good friend. Then, a friend becomes our ally, instead of an enemy. Symptoms subside, excess weight falls off. Then, we're at peace and can focus on the more important things in our lives.

When we know our truth and speak it, it can't truly offend, as it's OUR truth.

Many women do great with their breakfast and lunch meals, but by the end of the day, they're ravenous. They're not satisfied with dinner and they either fight cravings or indulge. 

I offer suggestions on reducing stress during the day to prevent overeating that anyone can implement.

Simple steps to go from being frustrated with your body and your weight to feeling good in your body.
