Do you have ghosts from your past in the form of sexual abuse, assault or harassment that you have attempted to bury with food and fat? How’s that working out? It didn’t work so well for me, either. Scars from my sexual past drove me to hurt myself with food, time and time again. In this show I share about my own experience with sexual abuse that has shaped who I am today, and the bumpy road I’ve traveled to heal. Let’s face it together.

Ep081: It’s OK To Hate Your Kids Oct 10, 2017

Show notes

Raising kids can be especially tough for emotional eaters, who tend to constantly judge themselves for their negative feelings. When we have feelings we deem inappropriate we usually bury them with food. Then we gain weight…a perfect punishment for the guilt we feel for feeling feelings we think we shouldn’t feel. After all, there’s no better self-administered beating than destructive eating and weight gain. But are our dark feelings, especially toward our children, really so bad? In this episode I explore what it means to have such feelings and what you can do about them.

Ep080: Overcoming Shame and Judy Blume Books Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

As a kid, my favorite books to read were authored by Judy Blume. She wrote about things that mattered to a pre-pubescent and adolescent girl. Things like developing boobs, getting your period, being teased at school and having crushes on boys. I devoured her books because they were about real things that I could relate to. But once shamed for liking these books the experience became a bittersweet one. What is this tendency of emotional eaters to feel shame for things we enjoy, and how we can turn that around, now that we are adults?

Ep076: The Dangers of Health Food Sep 19, 2017

Show notes

If it’s healthy, it’s OK to eat, right? As emotional eaters, we often look for excuses to eat slippery foods…a study or a doctor’s advice that permits us to indulge in foods that may cause us to lose control. It’s time to get hip to the myth of food labels, such as “gluten-free” and “sugar-free”, as well as learn to spot the rationalizations unsafe choices that cause us untold grief and weight gain.

Ep75: Overcoming Fear with Roy Nelson Sep 14, 2017

Show notes

Probably the hardest symptom (and cause) of emotional eating is fear. Fear holds us back from participating in life, from being social, from claiming our good. Fear makes us doubt ourselves so that we hold back, causing us to miss opportunities for success and for love. Fear makes us play small and stay quiet. It’s time to face our fears and stop living small. Learn how spiritual healer, Roy Nelson, once crippled by panic attacks and phobias, has learned to draw on feelings of love to overcome his limiting beliefs and fears.
