🎙️ Episode 135 – Part Two: Claire Buckley on Life Beyond Anxiety and Finding Confidence Again.y.

30 minutes

In this episode, I’m joined by Claire Buckley, who opens up about her lifelong struggle with food, emotional eating, and the constant “food noise” that shaped so much of her life.

Claire talks about how she first realised her relationship with food felt different from those around her, the frustration of seeking help through traditional weight loss groups, and the deeper emotional cycle that kept her feeling stuck.

She shares honestly about panic attacks, shame, and the sense of failure that came with every new attempt — and how finding the right support, along with her experience using Mounjaro, has helped her quiet the noise and begin to rebuild trust with herself.

It’s a powerful, relatable conversation about self-awareness, compassion, and what it really means to find peace with food.
