  How To Stop Hating Your Body 22.07.2026 26min

  Affirmations aren't going to fix the fact that you haven’t felt safe or comfortable in your body for decades. Neither is journaling. And neither will knowing, intellectually, that your body is the least interesting thing about you. Because body hatred doesn't live as a thought. It lives in your nervous system. It's a survival program, wired in at some point that linked your size, your weight, your appearance, to your safety. And you cannot think your way out of a program that lives in your bo...

  The Real Reason You Feel the Need to Control Everything About Food (The Nervous System Series, Ep. 5) 15.07.2026 29min

  You don't have a control problem. You have a nervous system that found control through food. Episode 5 of the Nervous System Series is about the real reason behind the compulsion to track, restrict, and micromanage everything around food, including my own story of moving to university at 18, my nervous system hitting DEEP dysregulation, and realizing years later that what I thought was my personality was actually a strategy. A really effective, really painful, really exhausting st...

  Why "Just Listen to Your Body" Isn't Working For You (The Nervous System Series, Ep.4) 08.07.2026 32min

  You've tried to "just listen to your body." And it either feels like silence, or static, or something comes through that feels way too scary or confusing to stay with. And then you wonder what is wrong with you, because this is supposed to be natural. Nothing is wrong with you. But there are three very specific reasons why this feels impossible, and this episode breaks all of them down. In Episode 4 of the Nervous System Series, we go into why survival mode literally turns off your body's sig...

  You're Not Broken With Food, Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated. Here's How to Tell (The Nervous System Series, Ep.3) 01.07.2026 37min

  You are not lazy. You're not a procrastinator. You don't "just lack willpower." Your nervous system is dysregulated, and once you can recognize that, your shame will start to lift. In this episode, I walk through an audit - the physical, emotional, behavioral, and thought-pattern signs that you're living in survival mode without realizing it. Sleep that doesn't actually restore you. A harsh inner critic that gets meaner on hard days. Resting that feels more like exposure than relaxation. Raci...

  The 4 Nervous System States Running Your Relationship With Food (The Nervous System Series, Ep. 2) 24.06.2026 40min

  The state of your nervous system impacts what, why and how you eat. It determines whether you can hear the signals of your body or not. It determines how you feel about yourself and your body. So it is soooo important to: 1) be able to recognize which state you’re in 2) know how to bring yourself back to a regulated and present state Roughly 70% of people in the Western world are walking around in a survival state and have NO idea. They just think it's their personality, but it's not. In ep...

  It's Not a Food Problem. It's a Nervous System Problem (The Nervous System Series, Ep. 1) 17.06.2026 48min

  Your nervous system runs your relationship with food. Not your willpower. Not even how much you WANT to change. Your nervous system - and until you understand what's actually happening in your body, no strategy is going to stick long-term. This is Episode 1 of the Nervous System Series, and it's the foundational episode: what your nervous system actually is, what it means to be chronically dysregulated, and exactly how that shows up in your relationship with food. We cover what neuroception i...

  The 2026 Breakdown That Made Me Rebuild Myself and My Business 10.06.2026 46min

  Two and a half months ago, I had a breakdown bad enough that I had two choices: completely change how I was running my business, or quit. I chose to rebuild myself, and every facet of how I was running my business (boy was it hard). And this episode is me finally telling you what that actually looked like. For years, I had been normalizing monthly breakdowns. Curled up on the bed, crying for hours, convinced I was a failure. Luke holding me together. I thought it was just the cost of ru...

  Why Can't I Stop Bingeing Even Though I Want To? 03.06.2026 38min

  You don’t need more willpower to stop bingeing. You don’t even need to want it “badly” enough. You need to uncover what the binges are DOING for you. In this episode, I sit down with a member of my community, Melissa, for a deep coaching over coffee session about binge eating, sugar cravings, and the pattern that keeps running no matter how much self-awareness she has. She knows what's happening. And it keeps happening anyway. We get into: Why you're not addicted to the food — yo...

  3 Steps to Get Rid of the "Clean Your Plate" Mentality For Good 20.05.2026 39min

  You know you’re full. Your body it’s had enough. And yet something takes over and you finish the plate anyway. That's not a willpower problem. It's a pattern that got wired into your nervous system long before you were old enough to question it, so willpower was never going to be enough to touch it. In this episode, I'm walking you through 3 specific steps to actually rewire the "clean your plate" mentality for good — not just override it occasionally, but unlearn it at the level where it act...

  Why Part Of You Doesn't Actually Want Food Freedom 13.05.2026 45min

  You can want something with your WHOLE heart and still have a part of you working against it. I got back from my Sedona retreat a couple of days ago and I have been DYING to record this episode. Because what came out of that trip, I did not see coming. I thought I'd released all the resistance around my goal. I'd been doing the work every single day for months. And then I sat around a fire with my two business girlfriends and completely fell apart, because I realized that part of me had attac...

  Healing From a 20-Year Undiagnosed Eating Disorder with Foster Wilson 06.05.2026 42min

  Eating disorders don't often look like what you might picture in your mind. We often dismiss what we're going through or experiencing because we're not "too thin" or needing to be hospitalized. But as you’ll hear in today’s episode, you don’t have to look sick to be struggling. I’m joined by Foster Wilson, a poet, postpartum doula, and podcast host whose work bridges creativity, care, and connection. After living with an undiagnosed eating disorder for over 20 years, Foster shares...

  How I Eat While Traveling (Without Anxiety or Needing To "Getting Back on Track") 29.04.2026 44min

  If you've ever spent the weeks before a trip restricting, overexercising, and trying to "clean up" your eating — only to arrive and feel completely out of control around food — this episode is for you. I know what it's like when a vacation creates more food anxiety than genuine excitement. When you're stressing about it WEEKS before you leave, eat in a way that feels chaotic once you're there, and come home already planning how to compensate. The trip is supposed to be the good part. And it's...

  Stephanie had been navigating a complicated relationship with food and her body since she was 15. On the outside, she had it “all together”.

Well, this episode is going to show you! I'm taking you inside my internal world to share how I eat as a recovered disordered eater. Not WHAT I eat, exactly - but how I think about it.

  "How Do I Stop Numbing My Emotions With Food?" 08.04.2026 34min

  Most of us have been there. A hard day, a stressful afternoon, a moment where you're just…done. And before you've made any kind of conscious decision, you're in the kitchen. Eating something you didn't really plan to eat. Sometimes it feels chaotic and out of control. And it helps! For about two minutes. And then it doesn't. And then the guilt shows up, the emotions you were trying to escape come back, and you feel worse than before. If that loop sounds familiar, this episode is going to giv...

  Why You Self-Sabotage When Things Are Going Well - And How to Stop 01.04.2026 33min

  You know when you’ve had a good stretch? You feel like you’re making progress. Things are quieter around food. You're not thinking about it as much. You’re actually noticing…change. But instead of relaxing into it, you find yourself waiting for it to fall apart. Waiting for the next shoe to drop. One of our Food Freedom Academy members asked me about this recently. She'd been making real progress less than a month in and she said: I keep noticing I'm braced for failure. Is that no...
