Ep509: Healing the Shame That Drives Emotional Eating Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

Shame is one of the deepest, most painful emotions that emotional eaters harbor—often rooted in childhood wounds, trauma, and even abuse. But what if shame isn’t who you are, but rather a story you’ve simply believed? In this episode, I dive into how shame fuels emotional eating, keeping us trapped in cycles of self-loathing and food obsession. I’ll also share powerful ways to break free, including self-compassion, vulnerability, and practical steps to reclaim your worth.

Ep508: Fear: The Most Destructive Emotion Jan 30, 2025

Show notes

Fear is a big driver of emotional eating. We worry about failing, making mistakes, or losing control—so we turn to food for comfort. But living in fear keeps us stuck, scanning for worst-case scenarios and trying to control everything. In this episode, I share how fear showed up in my life, why it’s such a common trait among emotional eaters, and how shifting from fear to faith can bring peace and freedom.

Ep507: Anger: One of the Scariest Emotions Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Emotional eaters are nice, right? Well, yes, seeing as we’re people-pleasers. But when we stuff strong feelings (like anger) with food, then we end up enraged. But since being angry doesn’t mesh with the nice image we like to present, we must find a new way to navigate the difficult emotion of anger. In this episode, I share about making peace with anger.

Ep506: The 6 Scariest Emotions for Emotional Eaters Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Emotional eaters don’t overeat and binge because they like food (although we do like food!).

We eat because we’re afraid to experience strong emotions. This episode is the first in a series of six episodes where I will discuss the 6 scariest emotions for people that struggle chronically with food and weight, and attempt to bury them with food. Are you ready?

Take the next 20 minutes to listen to this episode, and realign with what’s important to you. It’s a nourishing conversation that will make you feel good and like getting back on track is totally possible.

Ep503: LA Fires and Feelings Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

The recent Southern California fires have me feeling the feels. In this episode, I talk about where I’m putting those feelings, and how I’m dealing with the grief our whole city feels. As emotional eaters, we have two choices: face the feelings, or numb them with food. Here’s how we do the former, and begin to change our lives, as a result.
