In this episode of the Food Freedom Life podcast, host Brittany Allison discusses the link between people pleasing, emotional overeating, and binge eating. She shares her personal journey and explains how being a people pleaser can negatively impact mental and physical health. Brittany highlights the signs of people pleasing and encourages listeners to practice saying no and setting boundaries. She also discusses how people pleasing can affect body image and self-worth. The episode aims to help listeners break the cycle of people pleasing and prioritize their own needs and well-being.

In this episode, we get into shame. Shame has a massive impact on binge and emotional overeating. They greatest antidotes to overcome these challenges? Connection, acceptance and self-compassion. You are a whole person, not just someone who has a negative relationship with food- so in this episode, we talk about addressing the whole person. You'll also learn mindfulness techniques when dealing with shame spirals and the self-sabotaging behaviours that come with it so you can develop a healthier relationship with yourself, your body, and food.

This week's episode features a special guest, my past client Kendall. She shares her journey of overcoming disordered eating body image issues, her identity as "the fit and healthy person" and finding herself through it all. Kendall discusses her experiences with Weight Watchers, and the importance of her decision to work with me in her healing process.
