Binge Eating to Food Freedom

Here's a beautifully real and candid conversation about lasting recovery from disordered eating, even if you’ve been struggling since childhood! 

My guest and past client on this episode, Johanna from Finland, had been battling food since age 9, and now, for the first time, is embracing a new life of food freedom and genuine ease.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Creating a true identity shift – from binge eater to “normal” or natural, peaceful eater.

• The limitations and challenges of conventional approaches and programs

• Why shifting from a restrictive mindset to an abundance mindset with food is key to ending disordered eating

• How tiny daily actions add up to create massive changes 

• Breaking free from secrecy and sharing the journey with a supportive partner

• Overcoming the fear of failing and believing in the possibility of transformation

Tune in for this raw and inspiring episode. 

Listen in as Rona, a smart, warm, and spiritually-inclined person, shares how she hit her rock bottom after trying to manage her binge eating for multiple decades.

After hitting rock bottom and deciding, "This is not the hill I die on," she finally freed herself from this cycle of suffering, and shares stories of her experience, and the most important insights that she gathered along the way.

This is one of my favorite conversations that I shared a few seasons ago, and I'm bringing it back today, because it's filled with gold!

Tune in!

I used to be 100% certain that weighing myself helped me be in control of my eating.

I then discovered the truth about the scale — and that weighing myself was harming me more than helping me. With this shift around the scale, I changed my eating faster than ever before.

When compulsion is driving your eating, all the willpower in the world isn’t enough.

That’s because even though you *logically* know that you DON’T want to binge, all that logic is overridden by that strong, mysterious force compelling you to binge.

So once the food urges creep in, all your logic and willpower don’t stand a chance against deeply-rooted compulsion.

If you feel your willpower hasn’t been enough to combat these food compulsions, we’re going to talk about the piece you’re likely missing.

Tune in!

PS On Friday January 20, 2023, I’ll be guiding you through a process to help you get to the bottom of your compulsion with food. Join me for this rare opportunity – I usually only go this deep with my private clients!

During SHIFT, I’ll help you shift away from compulsion with food in just 2 hours.

Note: SHIFT isn’t about just helping you intellectually understand “how.” We’ll spend a small portion on the “how,” but the majority of the 2-hour intensive will be actual PRACTICE so you can physically FEEL a shift away from compulsion.

Once you feel this shift, you can’t “unsee” it – and you’ll see that there is hope to end this compulsion with food, permanently.

Registration for SHIFT is open until January 19, 2023.

"What if I need to restrict my food for health reasons?"

I often receive different variations of this same question, such as:

"I know restricting myself causes binges, but I really need to lose weight. How can lose weight without restricting?"

"My doctor told me I need to avoid these certain foods ... how do I not eat them without restricting myself?"

"I am gluten-sensitive. How do I avoid gluten without restricting myself?"

"I am diabetic. How can I follow these food rules without feeling restricted?"

All of these questions have the same answer.

If you have this same question yourself, tune in.

Why do most people stay stuck, while a small percentage of people succeed?

Why do most people stay binge eaters for their whole lives, while others are able to heal, move on, and live their life fully?

Let's talk about a hidden mindset habit that the top 1% take to heart.

In all my years of coaching, this mindset habit is shared by every successful person I've seen.

And not only do they think it in their mind, but they feel it in their bones. They embrace it in their heart. They know it in their soul.

Struggling with nighttime eating?

Nighttime food struggles can show up in a variety of ways:

- After dinner, you feel like you can’t stop eating

- At the end of the day when it’s time to unwind, the food floodgates open

- You stick with your eating plan all day, but then you binge at night

- Nighttime is your “me” time to numb out, and as soon as you’re alone, you binge

These are just a few examples. However your nighttime eating looks, tune in for this episode.

As a psychologist, Hannah knew “what to do” but didn’t know “how to do it.”

She hit a low after she had tried years of dieting to lose weight, only to gain it back again.

She also spent 8 years in a 12-step program trying to overcome her binges and compulsive behaviors with food.

Nothing worked.

Hannah got to the point where she was crying every day, worried that the overeating would never stop.

But after just a few days working with us, she started to notice major shifts in her eating, which gave her hope, and broke the binge cycle that she felt trapped in for years.

As she continued to heal her relationship with food, she saw even more changes, proving to herself that her eating disorder wasn’t something that she needed to “manage” or “cope with.” Instead, she knew she could end it.

Tune in for this incredible story.
