  • 5 steps to heal emotional/binge eating & still reach your health goals

    If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of restriction, bingeing, and shame — this episode is for you.

    For years, I was the girl everyone thought had it together. I was winning sorority superlatives for "most likely to eat a salad." I looked healthy. I presented healthy. And on the inside, I was in a full-blown cycle of restriction, bingeing, shame, and starting over on Monday. It took me 5-6 years of suffering to finally begin my healing journey.

    And in this episode, I'm sharing the exact steps I wish I knew sooner, that helped me heal and turned me into a woman who is fit, free, and genuinely at peace — without obsession, restriction, or starting over every Monday.

    In this episode:

    • Why emotional and binge eating is almost never about food
    • The energetic reason your obsession with health goals is keeping you stuck
    • How to identify what you actually needed in the moment you reached for food
    • Why creating happiness now (not when you reach your goal) is the real shortcut
    • How stored emotion, trauma, and energy in the body perpetuate these patterns
    • The somatic and breathwork practices that finally clear them
    • The 5 Steps:

      Step 1: Take food and your body off the pedestal. The more obsessed you are, the more you push the result away. I share why the quantum field actually responds to your energy around health, food and body, not just your actions.

      Step 2: Learn how to meet your needs. Emotional eating is almost never about food. It's about unmet needs — for connection, rest, love, regulation, fun. I walk you through how to identify what you actually needed in the moment, and how to start giving it to yourself.

      Step 3: Create a life and relationships you love. If food is your main source of pleasure, it's a signal. I share how becoming genuinely happy now (not when you reach your goal) is one of the most powerful things you can do for your body.

      Step 4: Learn to feel safe feeling. Our bodies store emotion, trauma, and energy, especially in the lower belly and womb. When we don't feel safe processing feelings, food becomes the escape. I explain what's happening energetically and how to begin to shift it.

      Step 5: Release stuck emotions and energies, especially around past sexual experiences. The practices that actually clear what's been stored, and why breathwork and somatic work are some of the most powerful tools available to you.

      Grab a notebook — I includes a live breathwork moment and a powerful question to ask yourself the next time you notice the urge to emotionally eat.

    • 76: From Darkness, Anxiety, and Stuck to True Happiness, Self-Love, and Purpose - Leah's Story

      In this conversation Leah shares her transformative journey over the past 3 years of us working together. Her story is evidence of how we can all transform from intense darkness - feeling stuck in every area of life - to true happiness, purpose and self-love.

      She shares how:

      - She went from low self-esteem, extremely sad and anxious while pursuing a man who wasn’t choosing her, to raising her self-worth, communicating her needs, setting boundaries, and letting him go with more ease than she anticipated.

      - She healed an intense anxious attachment by getting her childhood (unmet) needs met.

      - She is experiencing more peace, ease, and confidence

      - She went from having to move back home with her parents to buying and building her own dream house.

      - She discovered her true purpose and career path.

      - She says “no” when she wants to, no longer people pleasing

      - She is finally being her most authentic self, no longer wearing a “happy mask” just to try to make others feel good

      ...and so much more. :)

      "I felt like a victim to my life. I wanted to stop living. I feel like there was this version of me that was like tucked away in the darkness and through so much healing, of finding my inner voice, of asking myself what I need, I feel like I found that person who I truly am and brought her to light and I'm able to openly be who I am and unapologetically. I'm like 'wow, I get to be happy and peaceful.'"

      Leah’s story is evidence of how we can all transform from intense darkness - feeling stuck in every area of life - to true happiness, purpose and self-love.
