When I met Nicole, she was tired of the constant narrative in her brain of negative self-talk and the constant body shaming that was going through her head.

Not to mention, she had tried every diet under the sun to heal her struggles with food and her body -- she had even a therapy and EFT Tapping -- but talking about her past struggles and constantly thinking about her current pain was wearing her out and not providing her the freedom she desperately wanted!

She knew she didn't want to go through life abstaining from foods, constantly thinking about her weight, or trying to manage the shame and self-criticism that her brain and self-image had gotten used to, but it seemed that everywhere she turned, the only option available to her was ANOTHER form of restriction or obsession!

Desperate to change, but not wanting to go on yet another diet, she found me and booked a call to speak with me about getting help.

There was so much information out there, and she was so overwhelmed and tired of thinking about it all, but she knew she had to do SOMETHING radically different. She knew that the problem was in her BRAIN and SELF-IMAGE.

But there was something else that was in play when Nicole and I met: She had plans to walk down the aisle and marry her dream man in just a few months, and she KNEW she did not want to bring her old ways of being into her new chapter.

Oh yea...and to boot...this was all IN THE MIDDLE of a worldwide pandemic.

In this episode of the podcast, Nicole shares the in's and out's of her struggles, her journey, and the steps she took that finally led her to freedom after DECADES of shaming herself and feeling out of control.

Has self care become just ​“another to-do”​ that overwhelms you, doesn't motivate you, or makes you feel even MORE stressed out?   ​O​r​ is it​ something that transforms your parenting​ WHILE allowing  you to show up as a better version of yourself​?   The myth that “a good mom sacrifices herself”​ is old and outdated, and there's also a ton of other beliefs that are holding moms back from truly taking care of their health.    In Part 1 of Stressless Parenting, I invited my friend Lauren Buck who is an expert on all things relating to parenting and self-care for the modern-day woman.

On today's episode of the podcast, I invited one of my mentors Jessie Torres to enlighten us with her wisdom and insight, covering a super-cool topic.

Jessie has a unique stance on not just healing from trauma or painful experiences...but actually USING that pain to fuel your purpose and propel you into your greater future.

You might remember Jessie from season 1 where we talked about "Ditching Toxic Shame", and this episode is a direct follow up to what we shared in that episode.

Jessie’s journey was one filled with child abuse, the loss of a brother to murder, and a marriage that left her (as she describes) completely apathetic, emotionless, and spiritually dead. This left her living a life filled with fear, limitation and the darkness of shame every single day.

She turned her suffering and pain into purpose and passion, and now she helps men and women all over the world transform their narrative from "victim" to "victor", find the courage to take the small steps they need and peel back the layers of fear, to realize their full potential, and live the big life of their dreams.

We are so fortunate to have Jessie back on the podcast, where she shares her story and wisdom, and we talk about turning your biggest pain into your greatest purpose.

I’ve been doing the work that I’m doing for a LONG time, and I can’t even tell you how many women I work with that went to therapy, are in therapy, are thinking about therapy, or are therapists themselves (yes I work with a TON of doctors and therapists and medical professionals.) 

But I truly believe that the struggles we as women face with food and our bodies...well...they are just DIFFERENT!

And even though I'm a BIG FAN of therapy, therapeutic modalities, and getting supported while you work through struggles, traumas, and life's curve balls...

...for whatever reason, the struggles that I faced with my body, food, and finding the love (and like) within myself, I found that most (not all) therapy-based approaches fell a bit short. 

In this episode of the Stressless Eating Podcast, I walk you through why I believe that is AND what does work for truly ending the vicious diet cycle and healing your relationship with food and your body for good....but without needed to go spend years in therapy or drag it out to address it.

After being stuck on the diet roller coaster for decades, constantly experiencing that one-step-forward, two-steps-back 'dance' from the constant dieting, Jerry thought she was just “one of those people” that would have to live like this forever.

Her life was filled with lots of success and external accomplishments, but deep down she was living in disappointment, shame, and feeling like she knew there was so much more to life but just didn’t know how to break the vicious cycle.

And on top of the food and body prison that she felt powerless to escape from, her struggles with her health kept her from really putting herself out there to pursue her dreams and show people her TRUEST self -- always knowing that there was so much more of her life to live on the other side of her self-image struggles.

Apprehensive but knowing something had to change, Jerry booked a call with me. She was admittedly a bit weary at this point after doing SO MUCH personal development work on herself and trying every diet under the sun, but she knew in her heart that there WAS a way out of the vicious cycle, and she decided she was no longer willing to live this way. And that's when she got started in the Stressless Eating program.

In this interview she shares her journey, her struggles, her shifts, and what enabled HER to finally accept herself, love herself, and set herself free.

Join us as we embark on an intimate conversation about a version of self-love like you’ve never heard before.

I used to have a very dis-ordered and unhealthy relationship with exercise. 

Exercise was something I did to 'earn' what I was eating, punish my body (and punish myself), obsess over, over-do, or use as a way to control myself. 

And all it did was leave me chained inside of a prison -- secretly knowing that I was simply trying to out-exercise my unhealthy relationship with food and using it as a coping mechanism to make me feel 'successful' or ‘in control’ (when in reality there was a hole in my heart that could never be filled by losing weight or working out). 

That is...until I healed my relationship with exercise, and created some new definitions. 

And to talk about this topic on the podcast, I called on one one of my dearest friends who I've known for nearly 15 years, and is an expert in her field: Sarai White.  

Because most women think they need to spend hours in the gym or beat their bodies to submission to get results, and not only is that NOT HEALTHY...it's also not true!

Here to set the record straight on all things exercise, healthy physique transformation, and healing your relationship with your body, Sarai and I get into all the nitty-gritty details in this episode of the podcast.

Have you ever heard of ‘Emotional Anorexia’?

Well yes – it’s a ‘thing’!

Just like the food version –- you can have ‘Emotional Anorexia’, and it's a lot more common than you think. 

Not only is it super-common, but it can be really UNhealthy for your mind, your body, your heart, your soul, and yes....your relationship with food.

On today's episode of the Podcast, I've invited one of my besties and the UK's leading dating coach to have a chat about how it impacts you and how you value yourself (and trust me, it’s not what you think!) 

If you're stuck in a pattern of avoidance, procrastination, numbing out, soothing, or avoiding your life (or parts of your life), these might be symptoms of 'Emotional Anorexia'.

And that's why we decided to shed some light on this rarely-talked-about (and highly avoided) subject on this episode of the Stressless Eating Podcast.
