  • One of the biggest stressors I hear women name who are struggling with emotional eating is parenting. If you’re a mother who desires to manage your own mental wellbeing so you can best parent your children, without passing on trauma or unconscious patterns to them, then this episode is for you. This conversation with somatic attachment therapist Shaina Rae dives into her process of supporting mothers through their own internal healing so you can thrive in parenthood. We discuss…

    What somatic attachment therapy is and how it differs from traditional talk therapy.The five alignments to practice when supporting your child with co-regulating their emotions effectively. An overview of the parenting patterns that, once you understand, can transform how you approach parenting your child (and re-parenting your own inner child). The importance of resting in being rather than always doing.

    This episode is such an important conversation for all parents, especially if you’re constantly triggered by your child’s emotions. Through doing your own inner work, you can support yourself in having the emotional capacity and skills to support your child in processing their own big emotions.

  • Improving emotional eating patterns requires learning how to distinguish between physical hunger cues and emotional hunger cues. Perhaps you struggle knowing if you're truly physically hungry, either because you’re disconnected from your body cues or you’re disconnected from your emotions. All you know is that you find yourself thinking about food and desiring to eat. In this episode, you’ll learn the top five clues to look for to help you begin to discern between physical and emotional hunger. As you become more aware of your internal experiences and body’s messages, you’ll be better equipped to tend to your emotional or physical needs in ways that are both satisfying and supportive.

  • Awareness is the first step in changing your eating habits. It’s necessary to be able to distinguish between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and identify what it is your body and being truly needs to feel good. This requires getting out of your thinking mind and dropping into the body so you can listen to the wisdom of your body and learn how to interpret the information you discover through self-exploration. In this episode, I take you through a guided practice to support you in exercising your awareness muscle and becoming more in touch with the sensations, emotions and thoughts arising in the present moment. With this present-moment awareness, you will be better able to determine whether your body is truly hungry for food or actually craving something else such as an emotional release, sleep or stress relief.

  • One of the most common areas women struggle with that is directly connected to emotional eating is a lack of satisfying sexual intimacy and emotional connection with their partners. If you are craving more pleasure and connection with your partner but don’t know how to ask for what you desire, then you may turn to food as a default form of pleasure to fill the void. If you feel stuck and hopeless that your relationship can improve, then this is the episode for you. I talk with Shana James, author of the book Honest Sex and relationship coach to men, all about the male and female psyche in relationships, and how women can create the connection they desire with their partner, regardless of how closed off he may seem.

    This is such a mind and heart-opening episode for anyone committed to creating a more fulfilling love life with your man (and yourself). Enjoy!

  • When your intention is to improve your nutrition and health, it can be tempting to turn to “clean eating” plans as the solution, but what most people don’t realize is that these restrictive diets can actually set you up for failure and lead to disordered eating patterns such as binging, food cravings and obsessing about food 24/7. Yikes! In this episode, I give some warnings about why a clean eating plan can be harmful and backfire, in the hopes that you can save yourself from the misery that can result.

    I talk about

    Why clean eating does not necessarily equal healthy living.The misconception women have about what healthy looks like.The importance of inclusion and quantity as principles for true healthy eating/living.How many “health experts” may themselves be struggling with disordered eating behind closed doors.What orthorexia is and how an obsession with eating clean can become a severe eating disorder.The comparison trap — how what works for one person doesn’t mean it’s right for you.How to begin to take your authority back from experts and listen to your body to help you determine what eating and foods are right and best for your own health (your body knows!).Why doing the inner emotional work is necessary to make the eating improvements you desire.

  • I help people do the inner work for eating issues, using modalities such as tapping, but you may be wondering what that actually means and looks like in practice. It can be helpful to hear directly from someone who has done the “work” with me to understand what happens in a session and the benefits that result. That’s why I invited my dear friend and fellow healer Tanin Matin onto the podcast to share about her recent healing session with me where we worked on breaking her emotional attachment to highly craved foods and uncovered the underlying emotions driving her to eat for a feeling of connection and safety.

    Tanin is a spiritual coach and leader of the Energetic Revolution who has a gift for speaking about trauma, energy and healing in a way that makes sense. Not only will you get a perspective into what a healing session with me looks like, but you’ll also learn from Tanin about how to witness your emotions without judgment, expand your consciousness, and cultivate a spiritual practice that can support you in feeling nourished on a soul level. This is one of my favorite episodes!

    In this episode we discuss:

    Tanin’s experience from our tapping and healing session together.Examples of how your brain creates emotional attachments to foods that you most crave.How a trauma or survival response can contribute to binging behaviors. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) that I use to help someone rewire their brain’s response to comfort foods. How to develop emotional awareness and the capacity to effectively feel and process your emotions. The value of developing a spiritual practice and connection to a greater power as part of your healing journey.

    About Tanin Matin:

    Tanin is a Spiritual Teacher, Trauma Healer, and Conscious Business Coach for influential leaders, artists, and healers. Tanin’s mission is to be a leading voice for Trauma-Informed Relating, Authentic Expression, and Spiritual Being. She educates on the science of spirituality, manifestation, and miracles and the psychology of energy and healing to support collective awakening and human optimization. Her work is rooted in trauma healing, somatic attachment repair, neuroscience, neuro-linguistic programming, integrative health, energetics, breathwork, and consciousness to bridge the “why behind the woo.”

    Tanin created The Energetic Revolution, which is a 6-month Trauma-Informed Spiritual Healing Certification for those that want to become Trauma-Informed Spiritual Energy Healers & Leaders.

  • It’s essential to improve your mindset when you desire to improve your eating habits, because every thought you think and word you speak influences how you feel and behave. If you find your mind is consumed by thoughts about food and body, inner criticism, and a victim mentality that you’ll never get better, then this episode will inspire you to choose a more positive mental attitude to support you in making the habit changes you desire. Your mindset matters!

    The 7 mindset shifts I cover are:

    How to make positive meaning of your eating struggles.Viewing your eating episodes not as a problem, but as a window into your healing.From thinking your body is the enemy to viewing her as a friend.Why you don’t have a willpower problem, but rather a coping problem.Going from prohibition to permissioning your desired foods.Stopping labeling foods as “good” or “bad.”Learning to make choices from a place of “I love myself, therefore…”

    I also provide you with some activities you can do on your own to help you make these mindset shifts. Enjoy!

  • Poor body image is something that almost every woman struggles with. Eating issues oftentimes result from your attempt to control food in order to control the weight and shape of your body. If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll love myself when I lose weight or look better,” then this episode is a must listen. I explain how body image is shaped and offer ways to break the toxic beauty brainwashing, start to see your body through a new lens, and cultivate greater body acceptance.

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    The miracle that your body truly is. How hating your body is a learned condition (you weren’t born disgusted by your body).The cultural and familial factors that created your negative body image. Key childhood experiences, such as going through puberty, that may shape body image.If you’ve rejected your feminine essence, the importance of reclaiming your right to be a sensual female. Unhelpful patterns to change, such as comparing your body to others or a former version of yourself. That you’re not your body, but a spiritual being inhabiting a body to delight in the human 3D experience.

  • These five behavioral patterns may unknowingly be keeping you stuck in your emotional eating cycle. It’s important to identify if you are stuck in these patterns and shift them, otherwise you may remain stuck in the pattern of using food to self-soothe. And we’re all about changing that!

    The five patterns I cover are:

    The shame-blame game (and refusing to forgive yourself)Thinking over feeling (you can’t think your way out of a binge)Pushing through without pause (you’re not a machine that can run on unconscious autopilot) All work, no play (if food is your only source of “fun” then we’ve got a problem)Putting everyone before yourself (no wonder you don’t have energy left to make the changes you want)

    In this episode I share what these five patterns are, how they directly affect your eating habits, and what to begin doing moving forward to improve these behavioral patterns in order to support improving your eating patterns (win-win!)

  • In this episode, the CEO of The Habyt, Zan Ruhl, and I talk all about macronutrients and how it can be a tool to support women in improving their relationship with food, eating and their body. Given the conflicting opinions about tracking macronutrients, I felt it was important to have an honest dialogue about its pros and cons so that you can make informed and empowered decisions as to whether or not it might be a practice that is supportive to you on your journey.

    We discuss…

    What the term “macro” means and how it differs from dietingZan’s personal journey with binging and weight lossHow restriction fuels binging, and why eating more calories and carbs is keyHow you can learn to just eat some of your favorite foods (without willpower)Why mental health is the most important factor in determining if macro counting could be a useful tool for you

    About Zan Ruhl:

    Zan Ruhl is the CEO and Coach at The Habyt, a high touch, habit based, macronutrient focused nutrition program for women. After years of weight gain and feeling like she was living in a body that was not her own, she decided it was time to regain her health and confidence back, intentionally. As she dove into her studies of what healthy living meant to her, she discovered the beauty and flexibility of living a macro-based lifestyle.

    Through her personal journey, she knew it was her calling to help those with similar issues. While completing her masters, Zan worked at an eating disorder clinic, where she learned that the mental journey is oftentimes more important than the physical. The Habyt program is designed into four distinct sections that cover education, mindset makeover, habit building and sustainability.

  • Emotional wounds are one of the key components of healing that I teach to women struggling with eating issues. These are the repressed emotional energies that accumulate in the body and contribute to internal discomfort that triggers urges to binge. Oftentimes, a binge episode occurs as a result of an emotional wound from the past getting triggered in the present, flooding you with intense emotional energy. This process can happen outside of conscious awareness, which is why you may be continuing to struggle with binging no matter how hard you try to stop — because until you feel and heal the emotional wounds underlying the binge behavior, the pattern will persist. In this episode I explain what an emotional wound is, how they are formed and what my unique process is to uncover and repair these wounds so they can be liberated from your body.

  • Self-love is ultimately the healing remedy for your eating and body issues. When you truly love yourself, as you are, you no longer tolerate harming yourself with the words you speak and the actions you take. Yet, you may find that this idea of “self-love” is just a concept that seems impossible, foreign or confusing to experience for yourself. That’s why I’m dedicating this entire episode to exploring a) the reasons it may be difficult to love yourself, and b) tangible activities you can do starting today to begin to cultivate genuine self-love. I share how you can connect with your inner child, use mirror work, speak affirmations, practice forgiveness and open yourself up to receive more love from others and yourself, because you deserve to give yourself the same love and care you give to others.

  • The book You Can Heal Your Life was my first introduction to the mind-body connection and how thoughts shape one's reality and contribute to disease. The author and grandmother of self-affirmations, Louise Hay, identifies the probable underlying mental and emotional causes that contribute to specific ailments. She claims, “Dis-ease can be healed, if we are willing to change the way we think and believe and act.” This applies to eating and body issues.

    In today’s episode, I share her insight into which beliefs and emotions that are at the root of 1. Excessive appetite (aka overeating) 2. Bulimia 3. Feminine issues (which often go hand in hand with eating issues). I then provide the new thinking patterns that she suggests to use as daily self-affirmations, which you can add to your healing practices.

  • In today’s episode I talk with my friend and Embodied Leadership Coach, Jenny Scholl, about somatics and spirituality and how these topics are essential components of healing your mind and body. If you have been trying to “fix” your body or eating because you think something is wrong with you, you believe your body is who you are, you are disconnected from your body’s intuitive wisdom or you aren’t living in harmony with your body — then this episode is a must listen! It will help you change your perspective about your body and how you can begin to discover yourself through embodiment practices.

    In this episode we discuss…

    Jenny’s own journey healing her body’s skin condition via somatics and embodiment practices. What the buzzwords “somatics” and “embodiment” actually mean and how each fits into the complex healing puzzle. Practice perspective changes to shift how you view your body and relate to it. How slowing down, noticing the subtle sensations of the body and learning your unique body’s language can support you in truly knowing how to nourish yourself on all levels. The value of addressing spirituality as part of your relationship with yourself, your body and with others. Some simple embodiment practices you can try today to begin to rediscover your body from a place of self-awareness, rather than conditioned shame.
