Upward Spirals May 29, 2024

Show notes

Chances are that you are very familiar with the concept of the downward spiral - especially as it relates to binge eating or feeling out of control around food sometimes.

Many people think that once they start binge eating they can't stop for days, weeks or even months. This is a downward spiral. It feels easy to get on and hard to get off.

Did you know that there is such a thing as an upward spiral?

Tune in to find out more about what an upward spiral is and how to shift from a downward spiral to an upward spiral with one simple but powerful question.

This concept comes from the book Body Kindness by Rebecca Scritchfield. I highly recommend it!

Quitting Ahead of Time Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

This week's episode is inspired by my current goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon. When you have a big goal, something that you really want for yourself - one of the most important questions is whether or not you believe it is possible.

Do you believe it is possible for you to stop binge eating?

Do you believe it's possible for you to become a calm, connected and peaceful eater? If not, why?

If you don't believe in yourself you just might find yourself quitting ahead of time.

Tune in to discover how to hold belief for something you've never been able to accomplish before.

Don't give up on your dream because you can absolutely find peace and ease with food - no matter how long you've been struggling.

Is it Comfortable or Familiar? Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever thought to yourself that binge eating is comfortable? That you eat to bring yourself comfort? This is a very common thought process and in some ways it's true. There are some components of binge eating that provide comfort or relief - if that wasn't true you wouldn't binge.

But is it really comfortable, or is it just familiar? Tune in to explore the difference between comfort and familiarity and discover how to tell yourself the truth about what your eating behaviors provide you.

There is a surprising truth in all of this that just might help you see things in a new way so that you can choose a different response for yourself in the moment that matters most.

A Surprising Source of Inspiration Apr 03, 2024

I'm always looking for stories of inspiration and transformation and sometimes I find them in surprising places. I just finished watching a season of the TV show Survivor and found a lot of inspiration from several participants on the show.

If you're familiar with the show you might be surprised to hear the source of my inspiration. If you aren't familiar with it - I give you enough context to be able to gain your own insights without needing to watch it for yourself (and there are some spoilers if you happen to be watching it).

Tune in to find out what inspired me, how you can apply these stories of transformation to yourself, and discover your own sources of inspiration and motivation. They are all around you, waiting to be found.
