Have you ever wondered why something that’s supposed to feel so natural just doesn’t work for you? In this episode, I’m exploring a topic that has left so many women feeling frustrated and convinced they’re failing. If you’ve been trying to “just listen to your body” but keep finding yourself stuck in the same painful cycle, there may be a reason no one has explained to you. I hope this conversation helps you see yourself with a little more compassion—and opens the door to a different way forward.

This week put my binge eating recovery to the ultimate test. After my 89-year-old mother fractured her pelvis, I flew across the country into a whirlwind of family stress, difficult decisions, and emotional upheaval. In the past, this kind of crisis would have triggered my emotional eating and sent my food noise through the roof. But something remarkable happened instead…

If you’ve ever believed that you just need more willpower to stop binge eating, this episode is for you. I share why willpower isn’t the problem and reveals the three real reasons binge eating continues—along with a compassionate way to begin breaking the cycle for good.

What if binge eating has nothing to do with food? In this heartfelt episode, I share a childhood memory that reveals a deeper truth about emotional eating. If you’ve always believed your struggles come from a lack of willpower, this conversation offers a compassionate new perspective on why highly sensitive people often turn to food for comfort—and how true healing begins.

Food noise isn’t just about food—it’s often a sign of a deeper hunger. In this heartfelt episode, I explore why cravings persist even after eating and how emotional eating is often rooted in a longing for comfort, connection, purpose, and peace. Learn how asking one simple question can shift your relationship with food and open the door to lasting healing.

Have you ever realized a seemingly harmless food was quietly taking up more space in your life than you thought? In this episode, I share a personal confession about my unexpected struggle with coffee creamer and the powerful reminder it gave me about recovery. I’ll walk you through the two simple questions I use to determine whether a food is truly “safe” for me and how honest self-awareness—not perfection—is what keeps us free from emotional eating.

In this special 600th episode, I’m talking about something so many of us struggle with: hating our weight. I share why self-criticism keeps us stuck in emotional eating cycles, how “fat head” distorts the way we see ourselves, and why healing begins when we stop treating our bodies like the enemy. If you’ve ever promised yourself you’d finally be happy once you lost weight, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Tricia shares a simple but powerful way to decide what foods truly support your healing journey. By looking at two key factors — control and consequences — she explains how emotional eaters can begin identifying trigger foods, understanding compulsive eating patterns, and making choices that create more peace, freedom, and trust around food.

In this deeply personal episode, Tricia opens up about the secret world of binge eating — from eating alone in her car to late-night food runs and the shame that kept the cycle alive for years. With honesty, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom, she shares how binge eating progresses, why it feels so isolating, and most importantly, why healing is possible. If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of overeating, secrecy, or food obsession, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone and there is a way out.

Have you ever ignored a gut feeling, only to regret it later? In this episode, Tricia explores the idea of “painting red flags green” — convincing ourselves to move forward even when our inner wisdom is warning us otherwise. She shares how emotional eating, fear, self-sabotage, and willfulness can cloud our judgment and disconnect us from the guidance we already have within. This conversation is a powerful reminder to slow down, listen closely, and trust the signals meant to protect and guide us.
