As we step into a new year, it’s easy to fall back into familiar promises:

“This is the year I lose the weight.”

“This is the year I finally get control around food.”

But if we’re being honest, most of us already know how that story ends—temporary motivation followed by frustration, guilt, and feeling like we’ve failed again.

In this episode of Crush Cravings with Confidence, Coach Lisa offers a gentle but powerful reality check. Not to shame you—but to help you finally break free from the cycle that keeps repeating year after year.

This conversation is not about dieting, calorie counting, or forcing yourself into another plan that doesn’t fit your real life. Instead, it’s about shifting away from weight-loss obsession and toward something far more sustainable: self-trust, emotional regulation, confidence, and true food freedom.

If you’re tired of starting over every January and ready for something that actually works, this episode is for you.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

🌟Why New Year’s resolutions and weight-loss goals often keep you stuck in survival mode

🌟How all-or-nothing thinking shows up as “no dessert,” “no bread,” or yet another sugar cleanse—and why it never lasts

🌟The honest question to ask yourself: Has this approach ever actually worked for me?

🌟Why diets don’t fix confidence or emotional eating (and what’s really going on underneath)

🌟How weight gain is a symptom, not the problem—and why playing the “I’ll be happy when…” game always backfires

🌟The emotional cost of chasing weight loss at the expense of connection, peace, and self-worth

🌟The 7 things to focus on instead of dieting in 2026 to create real, lasting change

💛 This Episode Is a Reminder That:

You don’t need more discipline.

You don’t need another plan.

You don’t need to fix yourself.

What you actually need is more connection with yourself.

When you stop bullying yourself into another diet and start rebuilding trust with who you are, everything changes—especially your relationship with food.

Let 2026 be the year you stop surviving…and start thriving.

🎧 Tune in now and take the first step toward food freedom, confidence, and peace.

I’m Coach Lisa Callahan, a recovered emotional eater. Founder of Crush Cravings with Confidence.

I'm on a mission to empower women struggling with emotional eating to Crush Cravings with Confidence so they can step off the scale and step back into their power. My journey of conquering secret binge eating led me here to guide you. No diets, journaling, or "magic" pills necessary..

I've been where you are. I understand the challenges of emotional eating and aim to help you break free. No more sneaking around or feeling bad about overeating—this is the year you STOP emotionally stressing and change your relationship with food forever!

Discover what you're really craving (hint: it's not about the food) and begin correcting this problem from its roots.

Do you ever promise yourself that this time will be different… only to slip back into old patterns and feel like you’ve failed again? Maybe it happens after a long day, a wave of emotions, or a craving that just feels too strong. Suddenly you’re thinking, “Why can’t I just stay on track?”

If you’ve been stuck in this loop, I want you to know this: nothing is wrong with you. The problem isn’t your motivation, your discipline, or your desire to change. The real issue is the idea of “the track” itself — a rigid, unrealistic concept diet culture created that sets you up to feel defeated before you even begin.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why this belief feels so true, how it’s been silently shaping your behaviors around food, and what you can do instead to finally feel grounded, confident, and free.

In this episode, you’re going to walk away with practical tools and compassionate insights that will help you understand your cravings, honor your emotions, and reconnect with the version of you who genuinely wants to feel better — not punished, pressured, or judged.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

🌟Why the “on track/off track” mindset keeps you stuck in guilt, shame, and all-or-nothing thinking

🌟 How engineered foods and diet pressure have shaped your relationship with hunger and cravings

🌟 The deeper emotional patterns that shows up when you feel overwhelmed or disconnected from your goals

🌟 How to identify the parts of you — including your protective “Broken Heart Island girl™” — that reacts to stress and emotional eating

🌟 Practical steps to rebuild consistency with kindness instead of criticism

🌟 A gentler, more sustainable way to approach weight loss, through self-care, and your relationship with yourself.

This episode is your permission to stop striving for perfection and start building a healthier, more compassionate path forward with YOU as your teammate, not your enemy. When you release the pressure to be flawless, you create space for real growth, honest self-love, and the confidence you’ve been craving. 💛

Discover what you're really craving (hint: it's not about the food) and begin correcting this problem from its roots.

In this inspiring episode of Crush Cravings with Confidence, I sit down with the amazing Laurie B., who shares her powerful story of losing 100 pounds — not by chasing fad diets or following strict workout routines, but by completely transforming the way she thinks about herself. Once she put things into a new perspective, food, health, and movement has become simple. 

The truth is, she already knew what to do, she simply couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t doing it. Laurie’s journey is a testament to what happens when you learn how to  stop focusing on quick results and start nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and your body from a more spiritual place. A place of knowing, & deserving with love, kindness, and compassion.

Because if not you, who?

And if not now, when?

When WILL it be YOUR turn? ( How about now?? 🥰)

If you’ve ever struggled with emotional eating, cravings, or that exhausting all-or-nothing mindset, this conversation will bring you a new sense of peace—and the motivation you need to break free while staying true to yourself. When you release the “cravings” for guilt, shame, blame, disappointment, and regret, you’ll stop the cycle of self-sabotage and finally take your power back.

You’ll walk away with practical insights on how to shift your perspective, tune into your body, and build habits that feel good—not just in the moment, but for the long haul. No more quick fixes or decisions that feel good for a second but leave you filled with regret later.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

🌸 A Mindset Reset: Why changing the way you think about food is more powerful than any diet plan.

💬 Emotional Eating Awareness: How Laurie learned to recognize emotional triggers and give herself grace instead of guilt.

🌿 The Magic of Self-Compassion: Discover why being kind to yourself is the missing ingredient in sustainable weight loss.

💫 Freedom Through Trust: How Laurie learned to listen to her body, honor her needs, and make peace with her past.

Laurie’s story reminds us that real, lasting weight loss starts with a healthy mind and a kind heart. When you change how you see yourself, you naturally change how you treat yourself. Tune in to this uplifting conversation to learn how to build self-trust, silence the food guilt, and create a life you love — one mindful choice at a time. 💜

Do you ever feel like your reflection in the mirror doesn’t match how you want to feel about yourself? Like you zoom in on every little flaw while ignoring your natural beauty and strength? If so, you may be experiencing body dysmorphia. This is a clinical term for a hidden challenge that impacts not only how you see yourself, but also how you eat, how you move, and how confident you feel in daily life.

In this episode, I’m opening up about this important topic and walking you through the 3 practical steps you can take right now to identify body dysmorphia and rebuild your self-worth.

When you’re caught in the cycle of body dysmorphia, it’s easy to believe you’ll never feel good in your skin. But the truth is, there are simple, compassionate tools that can help you shift your perspective and create a healthier, more loving relationship with yourself. This episode is here to show you that change is possible—and it doesn’t require punishing diets, extreme workouts, or obsessing over the scale.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

🌟A clear explanation of what body dysmorphia really is and why it affects so many women in silence.

🌟The 3 key steps to recognize and confront distorted body image patterns.

🌟How body image struggles tie into cravings and emotional eating—and what to do about it.

🌟Mindset shifts that will help you release self-criticism and replace it with compassion and confidence.

🌟Actionable ways to practice self-love, reclaim your self-worth, and feel empowered in your body again.

This isn’t just about body image—it’s about taking back your life. When you stop letting body dysmorphia dictate your worth, you open the door to freedom, joy, and true confidence. 🌺

I've been where you are. I understand the challenges of emotional eating and aim to help you break free. No more sneaking around or feeling bad about overeating—this is the year you STOP emotionally stressing and change your relationship with food forever!

Discover what you're really craving (hint: it's not about the food) and begin correcting this problem from its roots.

If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I just love food too much,” “Sugar is my downfall,” or even “My family’s eating habits ruined me,” this episode is for you. On today’s Crush Cravings with Confidence podcast, I’m opening up about the sneaky habit of blaming food — and why it’s one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in the cycle of emotional eating and food cravings.

We’ve all been there… blaming processed foods for being addictive, blaming our culture or upbringing for our habits, even blaming ourselves for being a “foodie” or a “picky eater.” But here’s the truth: as long as we’re pointing the finger at food, we’re ignoring what’s really driving our cravings. And that’s exactly what keeps the cycle of binge eating, guilt, and self-sabotage alive.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

✨ Why food isn’t actually the problem when it comes to emotional eating.

✨ The truth about how processed foods are engineered to hit your brain’s “bliss point” and make you crave more.

✨ How calling yourself a “foodie” can sometimes be denial in disguise (and what it really means to love food).

✨ The sneaky way labels like “picky eater” or “sugar addict” protect you from facing the deeper issue.

✨ A powerful question to help you uncover what’s really underneath your cravings.

✨ How to stop reliving the same year over and over with the same guilt, shame, and food obsession.

This isn’t about giving up your favorite foods or forcing yourself into another restrictive diet. It’s about healing the root cause of emotional eating so you can finally stop feeling powerless and start feeling free. When you stop blaming food, you open the door to curiosity, compassion, and the kind of self-awareness that truly transforms your relationship with eating.

If you’re ready to let go of old blame stories and step into a life where food no longer controls you, this episode will speak right to your heart.

💫 Remember: emotional eating isn’t about what you eat, it’s about why you eat. And when you uncover the truth, that’s where food freedom begins.

👉 And hey — don’t miss my free class “3 Simple Steps to Stop Self-Sabotage and Emotional Eating & Love Yourself from the Inside Out.” You’ll get powerful takeaways, and even if the live class has passed, the replay is still waiting for you. Let’s go deeper, together.

I've been where you are. I understand the challenges of emotional eating and aim to help you break free. No more sneaking around or feeling bad about overeating—this is the year you STOP emotionally stressing and change your relationship with food forever!

Discover what you're really craving (hint: it's not about the food) and begin correcting this problem from its roots.

Hey, hey! So glad you're here.

Today’s episode is a cozy and honest conversation about something way more common than we realize — boredom eating. Yep, that quiet habit of walking to the fridge just because… you’re bored. No real hunger, no real need — just that restless little voice saying, “Go get a snack.”

In this episode, I’m walking you through five simple things you can do instead of reaching for food when boredom shows up. These are NOT  distractions — they’re sweet, doable ways to connect with yourself, feel more alive, and gently shift out of autopilot (which is why you are feeling bored to begin with!).

One of my favorite moments in this episode is when I talk about how boredom is actually your imagination trying to get your attention. It’s not a problem—it’s an invitation. And you don’t need a complicated plan to answer it. You just need presence, kindness, and a willingness to listen your FUTURE self. She is smart, confident, motivated, and energetically connected with doing the right thing for herself. She wouldn’t think of telling herself she is bored and then sitting on the couch all night with a bag of chips or chocolate in her lap!

She knows better than that! And once you know better, you’ll be able to do better too!!

In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

✨ Why We Eat When We’re Bored: It’s not about food — it’s about emotional habits and unexpressed energy.

✨ Five Easy Alternatives to Boredom Snacking: Gentle, inspiring ideas that nourish your mind and spirit.

✨ The Real Role of Imagination in Cravings: What your mind is really craving when you feel aimless or stuck.

✨ The Power of Simple Movement and Curiosity: How to shift the energy without guilt or resistance.

✨ How to Build a New Habit Loop With Love: You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be willing.

So take a deep breath, grab your tea or your walk shoes, and tune in with me. This episode is here to remind you that you are not “bad” for boredom eating—but you do have other beautiful options waiting to meet you.

💛 You’re allowed to feel bored. You’re also allowed to get creative, get curious, and take your power back—one choice at a time.

👉 And hey — if you want to go even deeper into this work, don’t miss my free class inside the 21 Days MSMO Guided Challenge. You’ll get real tools to shift emotional eating and create new habits with love (plus the replay is ready whenever you are). Let’s do this together.

I'm on a mission to empower women struggling with emotional eating to Crush Cravings with Confidence so they can step off the scale and step back into their power. My journey of conquering secret binge eating led me here to guide you. No diets, journaling, or "magic" pills necessary..

I've been where you are. I understand the challenges of emotional eating and aim to help you break free. No more sneaking around or feeling bad about overeating—this is the year you STOP emotionally stressing and change your relationship with food forever!

In this episode, I’m diving into something that so many of us deal with—whether we talk about it or not: the invisible food rules that run our lives.

You know the ones I’m talking about…

The rules that say what time you're “allowed” to eat.

The guilt that creeps in after a slice of cake.

The scale that somehow determines if you're a good person that day.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in a loop of starting over, tracking everything, or constantly worrying if you're doing this “healthy eating” thing right—this episode is for you. I get it because I’ve been there. For years, I believed that if I just followed the rules hard enough, I’d finally feel good in my body. Spoiler alert: that never happened.

But something shifted. And now, I want to walk you through exactly how to let go of those old, exhausting rules and start building a new kind of relationship—with food, and with yourself.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

🌱 What the diet mentality really sounds like : That sneaky voice in your head saying “you already blew it, so who cares?”—we call it out and gently show it the door.

🧠 How conflicting food rules mess with your mind : I share how 30 years of stacked-up diet advice left me confused, frustrated, and scared to trust myself around food.

💡 The 3-step system I teach my students : Simple, practical tools to help you pause, reflect, and choose a better path—one tiny decision at a time.

📖 The truth about emotional eating advice : Why just asking “what am I feeling?” doesn’t always help—and what to explore instead for real change.

🧡 The power of neutral language : We talk about ditching “good” and “bad” labels and practicing kinder, gentler self-talk that leads to healing.

I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land. You’re not broken, and you’re not alone. You’re growing—and that’s beautiful.

Until next time, keep showing up for yourself. You're worth it. 🤍

Discover what you're really craving (hint: it's not about the food) and begin correcting this problem from its roots.

Hey, hey! I’m so glad you’re here. Today’s episode is a tender and eye-opening one because we’re talking about something that sneaks into so many of our lives without us even realizing it — self-sabotaging with food. If you’ve ever had a moment where you’re doing well, feeling strong, and then suddenly find yourself eating in a way that totally goes against what you want for yourself… you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m getting real about how self-sabotage often isn’t about food at all. It’s about emotional patterns, unspoken needs, and sometimes… a fear of what happens when things do go well. Yep — success and safety can feel scary when we’ve never truly had them. But the good news? You don’t have to stay in that loop.

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when I talk about what it really means to connect with your soul — not through a routine or a list, but through the simple act of being present with yourself, even for two minutes. I also share a sweet bedtime practice that’s helped me rewrite my mornings, and a breathwork tool you can use anytime you feel a craving or spiral coming on.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨ The Real Reason Behind Self-Sabotage with Food: It’s not about willpower—it’s about protection. Let’s explore the emotional root.

✨ Why We Need to Connect with Our Soul First: I share a simple practice that reconnects you with the you behind the cravings.

✨The Power of a Love Note Before Bed: One tiny bedtime habit that transforms how you feel in the morning.

✨Two Minutes to Come Back to You: Learn an easy way to reset using your breath, nature, and stillness.

✨Compassion Over Shame: This isn’t about blaming the past. It's about learning, forgiving, and moving forward with love.

So take a deep breath, grab your headphones, and settle in with me. This episode is your reminder that every time you choose love over fear — even in the smallest moment — you’re breaking old cycles and stepping into the version of you that’s been waiting all along.

💛 You don’t need to earn peace with food. You just need to remember that you’re already worthy of it. Let’s dive in.

👉 And hey — don’t miss my free class “3 Simple Steps to Stop Self-Sabotage and Emotional Eating.” You’ll get powerful takeaways, and even if the live class has passed, the replay is still waiting for you. Let’s go deeper, together.

Hey, hey! I’m so glad you’re here. Today’s episode is such an important one because we’re diving deep into something that so many of us deal with quietly — using food as a way to feel better. If you've ever found yourself reaching for snacks or sweets when you're sad, stressed, or just plain overwhelmed, you’re not alone — and you're definitely not broken. But here’s the thing: food was never meant to be our therapist. So how do we feel better about ourselves without using food to soothe?

One of the most powerful moments in this episode is when I share how soothing can sometimes be a sneaky way of giving “strength” to the weakest version of yourself. But don’t worry — that’s not where we’re staying! I’ll show you how to gently hand the steering wheel back to the most powerful version of you — the one who shows up for others, makes tough decisions, and deeply wants to feel whole and alive. I’ll also introduce you to my Crush That Food Thing Self-Discovery System — my unique process for building emotional strength, reconnecting with your true self, and learning how to love yourself before you ever lose a single pound.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨Why “soothing” with food is a sneaky way we disconnect from your power

✨How to recognize when you’re giving “strength” to the weakest version of yourself

✨A simple mindset shift that helps you hand the steering wheel back to your most powerful self

✨How to rebuild trust and self-reliance without needing food to fix your feelings

✨The exact steps in my Crush That Food Thing Self-Discovery System to reconnect with yourself

So take a deep breath, grab your headphones, and get cozy or even take me out for a walk in the fresh air. This episode is your loving reminder that the rescue you’ve been waiting for… is waiting for you right in the mirror…. She is YOU. 

💛 You’re not meant to survive your life — you’re meant to thrive in it. Let’s get into it!

👉 And don’t forget — my FREE masterclass called “How to Feel Confident & Comfortable in your Own Skin Masterclass” is happening today, June 17, 2025 at 3PM!

I talk about how happiness isn’t something that just happens—it’s a skill you can build. And health? It’s not just physical. I walk you through the four pillars of true health: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—and why most of us only focus on one or two while the rest get ignored. I’ll show you how to start nurturing all parts of you, not just your body, so you can begin healing from the inside out.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✨Why emotional health needs just as much attention as your workouts and meal plans

✨The truth about old patterns, and how to lovingly release the ones that no longer serve you

✨A powerful mindset shift that invites you to become your own inner advocate instead of your worst critic

✨A personal recovery contract—a commitment to yourself that marks the beginning of something brand new

✨How to show kindness to every version of you: the tired you, the scared you, the ambitious you, and everything in between

This episode is full of permission slips. Permission to grow. Permission to heal. Permission to rewrite your story with so much love and honesty. I want you to know that you can stop using food as a way to cope, punish, or numb. You can create a life where food is just food—neutral, nourishing, and not emotionally loaded.

If you’re ready to shift the way you speak to yourself (and change your relationship with food along the way), download my FREE guide: “What Are You Feeding the Face in the Mirror?”

You’ll discover how self-talk plays a massive role in emotional eating—and how you can move from guilt to grace through just a few small, kind shifts. You deserve to speak to yourself like someone who matters. Because you do.
