Emotional Eating & Dating Confidence: Interview with Amber Romaniuk

Have you felt self-conscious or anxious on dates, unsure how to break free from the constant chatter of self-doubt and body image worries? What if emotional eating and your food habits weren't just about the food, but were actually acting as shields keeping real, intimate connections out of reach? In Episode 410 of The Charisma Quotient, "Emotional Eating & Dating Confidence: Interview with Amber Romaniuk" Kimmy sits down with emotional eating and body confidence expert Amber Romaniuk to unpack how emotional eating, body image struggles, and self-worth are entwined with your ability to show up powerfully in love and dating.

 

Amber bravely shares her own story—starting with childhood trauma and family patterns, leading to a battle with binge eating, bulimia, and a search for self-acceptance. Together, Kimmy and Amber explore why food and weight often become "love shields"—protecting you from rejection but also keeping you from intimacy, joy, and playfulness in relationships. Through personal anecdotes, client stories, and practical strategies, they reveal what it really takes to break free from emotional eating cycles and step into self-love and magnetic confidence.

Kimmy and Amber don't shy away from tough questions about worth, fear, and vulnerability. Instead, they share helpful steps to spot your triggers, get honest about your habits, and move from victim mode to empowered action—both with food and with love.

 You'll hear:

• How emotional eating and body image anxieties can sabotage your dating life—and what to do about it.

• The concept of "love shields"—how food and weight can become unconscious protection from vulnerability and intimacy.

• Why control, people-pleasing, and perfectionism often hide deeper wounds that affect relationships.

• Practical steps to identify emotional eating triggers and start healing from the inside out.

• How building self-worth creates real change in your relationships—and why dating is actually working on yourself.

• How control and rigidity creates masculine energy when dating.
