  You did the thing that was supposed to fix it. The surgery, the weight watchers, the fresh starts. And for a while, it worked... Until it didn't. The food noise came back. The urges crept in. The sense of being out of control around food returned… and with it, confusion and shame. In this episode, I sit down with Kim, a client who underwent weight loss surgery and later found herself struggling with binge eating again. We talk honestly about why this can happen, what surgery changes (and what...
• Afraid to Fail Again? Listen to This Before You Give Up. 17.02.2026 21นาที

  You’re successful in every area of life… except food. You’ve tried the diets. The plans. The rules. The white-knuckling. And now you’re tired. Part of you wants to stop binge eating. Part of you is terrified of failing again. In this episode of Nourished & Free, I explains why what you’ve been calling “failure” is actually the most teachable moment in the entire process, and how to make failure your secret weapon. I'm breaking down: Why mistakes are necessary for learningHow binge episode...
• An Episode for When the Weight Comes Back... AGAIN. 20.01.2026 23นาที

  If you’ve lost weight before, but it came back... this episode is for you. Let's break down why weight loss often becomes the common denominator behind dieting burnout, binge–restrict cycles, and feeling out of control around food. Not because weight loss is bad, but because making it the main focus quietly changes how your brain and body respond to food. I'll talk through how obsessing over the outcome (the scale) clouds judgment, increases pressure, and actually makes consistency harder. Yo...

• How to Quiet Food Noise Naturally (Without Ozempic) 09.12.2025 29นาที

  If food feels like the background noise of your entire life, this episode is for you. GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy can quiet food noise dramatically. Unfortunately, this only lasts while you're actively taking the medication. For many, they can't stay on them forever or don't want to start them at all. Even still, there are some currently on a GLP-1 but the food noise has come back. What then? If you need a plan to reduce food noise more with or without being on a GLP-1, this epis...

  You can crush it in your career, manage a family, and hit every goal on your vision board… But your secret stash of food says otherwise 👀 In this episode, I’m breaking down why perfectionists (the high-functioning, Type A, “I’ve got this” women) are the ones MOST likely to binge in secret.

If you have ever wondered if long term healing is actu...
