Lisa is joined by Out of the Cave Group Coaching alum, Estelle, to talk about how learning to sit in discomfort and relearning how to trust yourself and your body allows you to take control of your life and own your innate power and wisdom.

Topics Include:

[2:43] Estelle recalls the parts of her childhood when her relationship to food, eating, and body image became stressful

[5:05] Estelle talks about how comparing herself to her friends and feeling a deep desire to be loved led her to extreme dieting and disordered eating behaviors and Lisa begins to point out how our painful relationship to food and body start way before the most damaging behaviors begin

[9:00] Estelle talks about “little t,” and “big T,” traumas in her childhood home and how she found emotional eating at such a young age and how that spiraled a few years later into laxative abuse, binging, purging, and diet pills,

[11:53] After 6 months hospitalized for an eating disorder, Estelle explains how she really learned nothing because the root of the issue was never addressed

[12:16] Estelle finds personal development and her understanding of herself and the human experience bursts wide open and how we don’t have “get rid” of any feelings

[17:22] Estelle explains why she was attracted to Lisa’s approach and how Lisa does not focus on the food, or the body, or the outside, and empowers her clients to trust themselves

[21:00] Lisa talks about what changes when you’re able to sit in discomfort and remind yourself that you are not unsafe and Estelle responds by explaining how scary sitting with feelings can be so difficult some of us would rather risk our lives with drugs, or disordered eating behaviors, chronic emotional eating, or literally dying rather than sit with how we feel inside

[27:00] How diet culture disconnects us from self and how true connection to self and others makes us feel full

[31:51] Lisa explains how Estelle’s experience of “feeling like she’s going to die,” when it comes to discomfort makes sense when we understand the brain science

[38:00] We don’t need advice or panic, we need to give ourselves permission to let feelings “kill us”

[43:00] Taking radical responsibility for yourself, your thoughts, and your healing

[53:20] Estelle talks about how she experienced some emotional eating during quarantine after completing group coaching and how it was much different than before because of profound self-love
