This episode is made of the stuff I really geek out about: food, energy, food energetics. Why is labeling ourselves by our food preferences not a great idea? What can we do if we've hit a plateau on our health journey? How do we balance our internal and external landscapes, and how is that related to cell permeability? Join me and Ellen Goldsmith as we dig into this and a lot more!

If your brain is a computer, what operating system is it running? Is it time for an update? Join me and Karrie Miller, Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner (NLP) and transformational mindset coach, as we talk about the unconscious program we run about our self love and self worth—a program that is sabotaging our relationship with food!

bio

Karrie Miller is a Master Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner (NLP) and transformational mindset coach. She helps introverted women heal their emotional eating so that they can live happy, healthy, and confidently by teaching them how to work with their unconscious minds to create empowering beliefs and better internal resources that help them build the life of their dreams.

Karrie's journey into coaching started when she worked with an NLP coach who helped her to realize that she was unconsciously eating to the point of almost puking at every meal. It was how she felt “full” inside—by filling the void inside her with food… and she ate for every emotion.

After her breakthrough with her NLP coach, she found self-love, self-worth and self-confidence. She also lost 22 lbs and has kept it off for 4 years—and all she did was stop overeating and stop eating her emotions. She is now able to recognize her triggers and utilizes better internal resources to deal with her emotions instead of using food. She had such an amazing transformation, she had to become a Master NLP practitioner to help other women realize their self-love and self-worth.
