In this powerful episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Abbey Jo Shulkin, author, healer, and creator of the Life Shifts Weight Wellness System, to talk about something so many women quietly struggle with: our relationship with food, our bodies, and our self-worth.
Dr. Abbey shares her deeply personal story of growing up with a mother who struggled with emotional eating, and how that experience shaped her own challenges with body image, disordered eating, and healing. From hiding food in shame to building a multi-layered wellness system that now transforms lives, her journey is one of courage, clarity, and compassion.
We talk about what really drives emotional eating, how women internalize impossible beauty standards, and the spiritual and structural tools needed to break free from cycles of shame, self-sabotage, and binge dieting.
This episode is for every woman who has ever looked in the mirror and felt like she wasn’t enough. You are. You always were.
In this conversation, we explore:
✔️ The emotional roots of binge eating and food addiction
✔️ How unprocessed trauma and people-pleasing habits show up in our bodies
✔️ Why deprivation doesn’t work and what sustainable eating actually looks like
✔️ The 6 pillars of her Life Shifts Weight Wellness system
✔️ Dr. Abbey’s “NOW Method” for real-time food choices
✔️ How structure, mindset, and boundaries create freedom
✔️ Why your body is the container for your soul—not your enemy
✔️ How community, movement, and mirror work accelerate healing
Let this conversation be your reminder that you’re here to RISE.
