Send us a text When her daughter was growing up, Cynthia realized she was not ready for parenting and how to deal with it. She was coaching at the time and decided to research this topic. There was nothing that she truly answered the question she was looking for. It was what inspired her to research it further and to write her book Ally Parenting. Cynthia explains that everything she is talking about in regards to communication blocks is applicable to all relationships, be it children, spouses, ...

Send us a text Shira kindly shares her story of struggling with her eating disorders and followed by the wonderful sharing of her recovery and how it led her to what she is doing today. We bring up the issues of finding the right help because not everyone is adaptable to one type of support.

And it's NOT ABOUT BEING PERFECT! How many of you out there love to dance, and just don't anymore because of life's expectations? A fun fact we talk about is ballet.

Send us a text Why does David Medansky call himself the Overweight Person's Best Friend? It all stems from his own experience of being overweight and being told that he had two choices. Lose weight or he may die. His doctor told him that if he didn't lose the weight, he would rather David find another doctor, as he didn't want him to die on his watch. David takes the same approach now when he is helping people with weight loss, specifically after they have reached their ideal weight. "You will n...

Send us a text A very compelling story about bulimia. Tammy wants parents to recognize the signs. Understandably even when you see "signs" parents can be stuck in a position of denial or fear or lack of understanding because it's scary to not understand. In the era that Tammy had bulimia, as with me, our parents didn't have the literature available to them that there is today. However, with that, today with Social Media there are a lot more reasons that this dis-ease is still one that is growing...

Send us a text I met Cristian two years ago. We mention one year, however looking back, it's been two. When Forbes Riley started bringing us together. At first I wanted Cristian Hauser on to speak to his transformation. I am amazed at the story he did end up sharing. Beautiful. His sight from the outside looking at a bulimic is precious. Many of us who have been and are bulimic don't hear these stories, and the few of us that do, sometimes they're not as kind and beautiful. I appreciate Cristian...

It was a day that was supposed to be a lazy Sunday. Yet, there he was, lying in a fetal position. Karen and her husband grieved differently. Now, how does this relate to Bulimia? Karen changed her life. Left the corporate life and helps people with loss, of which she explains there are over 40 types. It could be the loss of a p...

Send us a text What a pleasure to have Mel Mason on this podcast. To me, her message is important for many who are struggling to recover from bulimia. Her words speak volumes, and her story is compelling and also proves that even through adversity, you can move forward. In her Freedom From Clutter's 5 Day Challenge which started today, and which I am attending, I loved it when she said to see life (and I am paraphrasing) as a GPS. You don't use it to see where you were, you use it to know where ...

She shares about her childhood and being "labeled" a "slow learner" due to being "different" in that she needed to read aloud. This label had her spiraling until she took courses in NLP and from there, she learned the need to change the mindset from within. Rachel shares that your brain takes in 90000 and apparently 80000 are negative thoughts or things we don't want to happen. And i...

Tom explains this in regards to the connection with quantum physics and also how he came to work on further researching this through photographs. Along with explaining this, Tom and I also discussed the h...

Send us a text A subject few women want to talk about, and yet it is so important. And if my listeners are still struggling through bulimia in their menopausal stages, this is a need-to-listen Podcast. I found Angela on Podmatch.com and she lives halfway around the world. Why Angela? Because she actually understood my purpose of having her on my Podcast after I explained the issues. It is a wonderful conversation that definitely went overtime, and with reason. Most of my Podcasts are 30 minutes,...

Send us a text Such a lovely conversation with Cassie. Being someone who deals with women with midlife bulimia she was pleased to be on the show to be able to share her story and to say "you're not alone". Cassie, herself, struggled with emotional eating, as was her family. Even though her education, she realized she was more able to help others than herself! This I could relate to because my daughter said the same about her education through psychology. Cassie said there are four specific areas...

Send us a text I am so honoured to have had this guest on my Podcast. Rannveig explained that it was the first time she's gone public with her history of being a bulimic. She is fully recovered, yet says she still holds shame about having been at one time a "bulimic". To me, her ability to speak so profoundly about it brought to mind my own feelings. I was quite open, even when bulimic, particularly with my daughter to help her understand that it's not the place ever wants to be. But for a while...

We discuss parental control, the difference between Anorexia and Bulimia, and some essentials on moving towards recovery. We talked about triggers.

It was a "time out for self". It's not that I refused to help others, however, I did learn during that time how to ask for help as well. That is not a weakness. My life took a turn this month that I would never have anticipated. And yet, it is a Godsend. I have never been so happy and feeling love and appreciatio...

Coach Jonathan, himself, overcame binge eating (although he didn't purge, there are many similarities with bingers and binge/purgers regarding their relationship with food) Coach Jonathan shares his F.A.S.T. model. As he states, it's not related to denying yourself food. It stands for Feel, Acknowledge, Speak and Time. He speaks to finding a better version of your...

Send us a text The "emotions" part of this podcast really hit me, because Ann spoke to getting in touch with them. This is a difficult thing often for those struggling with bulimia. Their world revolves more around food than their emotions because they are eating them and purging them and not even realizing it! I truly appreciate Ann's story going through her journey, her sharing about her YouTube channel and her book A Pathway To Insight. She does say there are many, why her book's title stipul...

Mss François did go through trauma, and how she dealt with it was creating comedy, and entertainment, and sharing her story that way. I asked her to come on to this Podcast because I believe that this is something those who struggle with bulimia can relate to. Either trauma, or not feeling "good enough", and even more so not putting themselves first. It's not selfish t...

Send us a text If you are trying to recover, it truly is important to listen. If you have to ask the same question 5 times, you are not listening, and there could be a couple of reasons. You are not 100% ready to recover, or the person helping you, be it a psychiatrist, therapist or coach, is NOT the right fit. Find the right fit. If you feel they are, then you need to focus and journal and make sure you listen. Listening is part of the recovery process. For further support you can visit my grou...

That is what Podcasts are about. We may agree to disagree, and we may agree that we haven't looked at something "that way". I truly appreciate Lisa's candor and I know that my listeners wil...

Send us a text Fun fact. I had the "help" wrong. It was "serve other people at all times". However, same goes. It is very important to serve yourself to be able to serve others. And too, when you are serving everyone else you do lose yourself. Too food is not your all. When you are bulimic, you focus all on the food. You don't care anymore what your body is telling you! When you recover you become so aware of your body and NOT to let it retaliate. And then the bricks. When you are speaking to so...
