I wish that overcoming binge eating was as simple as keeping your binge trigger foods out of the house. I think I speak for us all collectively when I say, if it were really that simple, we wouldn’t have gone through the struggle with bingeing for as long as we did. But it's just not that simple. And actually, keeping your binge trigger foods out of the house actually makes bingeing worse. It’s like a bandaid solution that’s not actually addressing the root cause of why you’re feeling out of con...

A decade ago I was in the *thick* of things with my binge eating & dieting struggles.

How long have you been waiting to feel your best? Do you feel like you have to change your body FIRST before you can feel or be healthy? This week a client of mine said to me, “I’m taking actions to feel healthy now and am no longer waiting to lose 20 lbs first.” And this shift made her feel so much more empowered than being stuck in the narrative of, “I just need to wait until my body is smaller, then I can do the things in alignment to how I want to live my life.” And I want to chat with you a...

If you said yes to any of the above (or if you’re thinking “I’ve never thought of that, maybe!”) then chances are you may be tying your self-worth to food & your body.
