Have you ever found yourself reaching for that extra cookie even when you're not hungry? Or using food as a coping mechanism during stressful times? If so, then you're in the right place.
This episode is specially designed for you! I've poured all my knowledge and experience into this comprehensive guide to help you understand and overcome binge and emotional eating. It's a holistic approach that addresses not only your eating habits but also your mental and emotional wellbeing.
This episode is about a journey that I, your host and guide, have been on professionally for over five years as an Eating Disorder Coach and a staff member at a residential Eating Disorder treatment center. My personal journey of healing has been much longer.
Now, as I transition careers, this video represents my understanding of how to heal the root causes of binge and emotional eating.
Remember, overcoming binge and emotional eating isn't about deprivation; it's about making mindful choices that nourish your body and soul. Are you ready to embark on this transformational journey?

In this special episode of the podcast, I share my interview on Write Your Best Self!
"This can be a very anxious process. There's so much trauma around food... Learning to feel your body can be a scary process that brings up a lot."
What is mindful eating and what benefits does it offer. How can our body tell us what to eat? Why we turn to food as an emotional crutch - and how can we cultivate a healthier relationship. How Jared discovered that writing can change your relationship with food while at a monastery. The science behind externalising our thoughts in our journal.
I'm super excited to introduce you to Jared Levenson - the founder of Eating Enlightenment.
Jared was plagued with binge-eating for years until he learned how to transform his relationship with food. He's now a mindful eating zen master who's helped countless people curb their cravings through the power of journaling so they can feel empowered and enlightened around their food choices.
In this powerful episode, Jared explains why journaling is such an effective tool for tackling food problems - as well as sharing his own personal story of transformation.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed recording it.
"The process of writing changes reality... it's very inspiring."
In this episode, Jared and I explore:"Usually before people emotionally eat there's this cacophony - this internal argument back and forth that escalates. Then people binge to calm down those voices."
How labelling feelings helps us to unravel them. The power of dialoguing with and hearing the different voices that show up around food. Why changing your relationship with food helps you to reclaim your personal power. Catching cues and rewiring triggers. Tapping into the wisdom of the body. How can we trust our body to tell us what it needs to be healthy, vital, and strong. Jared's story - how he transformed from binge-eater to mindful eating Zen master.And more...
Feeling empowered around food can be a transformative experience. I hope this episode helps you to navigate forward in some way.
Jared's journaling prompt:
Write with awareness right before you eat.

Dr WendyLeigh White, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and nondiet, weight-neutral nutritionist, takes a “nature cure” approach to prevention and healing in her clinical practice, teaching, and speaking.
She has maintained a clinical practice since 2008 and taught at the graduate level since 2016. In 2020, she was included in the Portland Monthly’s Top Doctors, Naturopath category.
Her aim is to empower every one of her patients/clients/students, especially those in larger bodies, to understand the interconnected systems of your body and its specific needs.
In this way, you learn to tune in to the signals your body is telling you. Only then can you give it what it needs to heal, to thrive, to learn how not to follow in your family’s medical footprints.
Building from a “nature cure” philosophy (food, water, air, movement, relationships), Dr White specializes in developing personalized lifestyle plans that align to your unique genetic makeup and lifestyle.
She enjoys coaching people who are needing support with allergies, digestive issues (irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, constipation), and their relationship with food.
Despite her full schedule of patient care and university teaching, the times that Dr White is most passionate is when she is speaking to groups about the body’s innate ability to heal itself and to keep itself in balance when supported appropriately.

How is it possible for Diabetes management and Intuitive Eating to go together?
Diabetes you need to manage blood sugar, whereas on a superficial level you might hear that Intuitive Eating means you can eat anything.
Can you really eat anything if you have diabetes? And is this even what Intuitive Eating means?
In this episode with Glenys Oyston, from Dare To Not Diet, Glenys also talks extensively about her journey from chronic dieter to Intuitive Eater.
One interesting thing about Glenys's story involve her weight gain over the years as she ditched the diet mentality, as dieting had kept her deprived and underweight for years. Oftentimes we are so afraid of weight gain, so Glenys's story is impactful and inspiring.
Glenys's is a full-time anti-dietician and she truly walks the talk and has been through the struggles and can help you if you struggle with dieting.

Today's guest is Holly Toronto and I'm so grateful she shared her story!
From her early roots in a rigid 'Purity' Christian culture that taught bodies were dirty and wrong ...
To struggling with food anxiety, hair loss, and extreme body image problems ...
Things all changed for Holly when she serendipitously brought the book Intuitive Eating with her while on a cruise where she couldn't eat anything.
Fast forward years later and now Holly helps women bridge the gap between Spirit and their bodies.
This interview is full with amazing insights:
- how to set up expectations to unconditionally eat so you can't fail
- how to deconstruct body image beliefs within the HAES philosophy
I know you'll love this episode.
