    Today we're diving into the topic of stress eating, emotional eating and binge eating.

    Understanding the root causes of these unhealthy eating habits can help us break the cycle and build a healthier relationship with food.

    We'll take a look at how stress affects our bodies and minds, and how journaling can be a highly effective tool for improving mental health and well-being.

    One of the pioneers in this field is the psychotherapist Dr. Ira Progoff, with his method the "Intensive Journal" he helped patients gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experiences and emotions.

    I'll give you tips on how to identify your stress triggers and how to journal effectively to address them.

    Whether you're an adult looking to overcome stress eating, emotional eating or binge eating or a parent looking to teach your children healthy habits, this video is for you. Join us as we explore this topic and give you the tools you need to succeed.

  • Stop Emotional Eating in Kids: A Parent's Guide | Ep 63

    Are you struggling to understand if your child is an emotional or stress eater and how to deal with it?


    In this episode, I'll be sharing a three-step method to help you understand the causes of emotional and stress eating in children, find better ways to soothe their emotional needs through mindful eating, and break the cycle of emotional and stress eating.

    Emotional and stress eating are patterns of behavior that occur more than once a week, such as coping with emotions or stress through food, sneaking and hiding food, feeling shame or guilt after eating, experiencing cravings for food out of the blue, or constantly asking for food even when you're not hungry.

    To understand the causes of emotional and stress eating, try to understand why food is their go-to and help them find other ways to cope with their emotions and manage stress, such as exercise or mindfulness.

    Mindful eating can also be an effective tool in helping your child regulate their emotions and stress eating.

    Finally, break the cycle of emotional and stress eating and build awareness around healthy habits.

    With patience and understanding, you can guide your child toward a healthy and balanced relationship with food.

  • Encourage Kids To Take Care Of Their Health | Ep 58

    7 things  that will keep your child from getting on board with healthy living or losing weight and how to approach it differently:

    • Trying to convince your child why it's important!
    • It's not only about the child who needs to lose weight, it's about the entire family change. Singling out or expecting the child to do things you or others are not doing is unfair.
    • Your child may believe that they can't do it if you are inconsistent in the changes you start making at home; whenever you stop, they will think they have failed.
    • Putting a child on a diet that they won't be able to maintain long-term!
    • In your efforts to get your child healthy, you can't become emotionally involved. Try new foods, and invite them to exercise with you. The more you worry about your child's response, the more stressed your child will be.
    • It's not about losing weight, it's about losing bad habits.
    • Short-term goals that make your child feel like they are failing

    • STOP Your Mom's Guilt About Your Child's Weight Problems! | Ep 57

      I would like to encourage you to let go of your mom's guilt because it will not help your child lose weight or get healthy. It might even have the opposite effect!

      In today's episode we are going to talk about 3 main topics that will help you with that so hold on tight:


      1) If your child wants to lose weight, you need to have a little grace with yourself and why "beating yourself up" won't help.

      2) Determine your child's/your own need/root cause

      3) What are the things parents do to combat their children's weight problems, and how can you do the same?
