• When your disorder is not taken seriously
• The difference between support and "getting it"
• What do we need from loved ones to support us?
• When supporters are "concerned for your health"
• Defensive conversations with family members

Greed is a word that comes up a lot around binge eating and overeating. What if you believe that your binges aren't a disorder or a "problem," but a manifestation of being greedy? In this episode, Sarah and Stef address questions like:

• Do we want too much food or do we simply want too much?
• Where does greed come from?
• Does greed have a reason, or are reasons just an "excuse"?
• What does greed have to do with emotional discomfort or sensitivity?
• Is binge eating self-indulgent?

Do you struggle to be more consistent in your life? Whether its with food, exercise, self-talk, or pretty much anything else in life, what is the story with consistency (or lack of it)? In this episode, Sarah & Stef talk about:

• Consistency depends on your context of the day
• How do you know when to push yourself or not?
• Example: journaling
• How consistency is related to self-trust
• Why might we resist being consistent?

The Intuitive Eating approach sometimes gets portrayed as a "junk food free for all." So does eating nutritious food only happen in the context of a diet, or are there ways to incorporate nutrition intentionally without dieting? In this episode, we explore:

• What is your definition of "healthy eating"?
• The role of flexibility in a non-diet world
• What if you don't automatically crave nutritious food when you give yourself permission to eat all foods?
• Adding in versus taking out
• "Do It For Future You" – is this a diet/fitness culture philosophy?
• Sarah doesn't enjoy meal planning and prep!
• The Million Dollar Question: If eating this way would not change your body in any way, would you be doing it?
