Dr. Paula explains how people with ADHD/neurodivergence may struggle to recognize hunger and fullness cues and offers practical tips for making recovery work.

Ep. 178: The Easy Path (with Coach Julie) May 24, 2025

Show notes

Kathryn and coach Julie help you reframe how you think about recovery. You’ll learn to challenge the belief that stopping binge eating is a hard road and see that ending this destructive habit is actually the easy path. Ease never comes from giving in to urges to binge, or trying to control weight through restriction, but from nourishing your body, accepting your natural weight, and letting go of the binge-restrict cycle. Even if there are some challenging and uncomfortable moments in recovery, it’s never as hard as bingeing.

Ep 176: "Eating Foods You Love That Love You Back" Apr 18, 2025

Show notes

Kathryn and Coach Julie talk about the idea of “eating foods you love that love you back.” This is a phrase that Julie has used here on the podcast and that she often uses as a framework in coaching as she helps people learn to eat adequately. We’ll talk about many ways to interpret this concept and how you can apply it in your own life.

Ep. 174: The Magic of Consistency (with Coach Julie) Mar 22, 2025

Show notes

A binge-free life is created by dismissing one binge urge at a time, and by eating adequately one meal/snack at a time. This requires consistency. Although the decision to stop bingeing can be instantaneous, healing of the body and brain from this habit takes time. If you’re someone who tends to do well for a little while just to slip back into old behaviors, or if you want to prevent that from happening, this episode is going to be useful to you.

Ep. 172: Inflection Points in Binge Eating Recovery (with Coach Julie) Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

Kathryn and Coach Julie teach you how to make positive change in pivotal moments or “inflection points” in recovery. You’ll learn that you don’t have to fix every part of your life or every part of your eating. Instead, you can zero in on the times when you are tipping into the problematic behaviors, make some adjustments, and harness your own power of choice. When you recognize and work on your own inflection points, you can avoid going down those familiar but harmful pathways and build new habits.

Ep. 171: Healing Your Relationship with Food, Yourself, and Others (Part I) Feb 15, 2025

Show notes

Having a difficult relationship with food affects nearly every other relationship in your life, including your relationship with yourself. Because eating disorders are so isolating, you may find yourself turning away from other people—even the people you love the most and who love you the most. Your drive to binge and your obsessive food thoughts can distract you from being present in relationships or prevent you from forming relationships. Kathryn addresses these issues and more in this episode about healing your relationship with food, yourself, and others.
