How do you trust yourself around food without any structure at all? If this question keeps you up at night, you're not alone - it's the most common question people ask me about food freedom.

Are you tired of choosing between rigid meal plans and complete food chaos? Have you tried the "just eat when you're hungry and stop when you're full" approach only to feel more confused because your hunger signals ...

Who are you listening to when it comes to your food choices? If you're like most people, you've probably been listening to everyone except the one voice that matters most - your own.

Have you been following external food rules for so long that you've lost touch with your body's signals? Do you find yourself constantly researching the "right" way to eat instead of trusting what feels right for you? This ...

You've done it before in other areas of your life—maybe landing that dream job, finding your partner, or achieving a goal you once thought was impossible. So why does food feel so different? Why do you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns?

In this episode, I'll show you that you actually have TWO roadmaps operating in your life: one that leads you toward what you want, and another that keeps you driving in circ...

In this week's episode of the Binge Eating Breakthrough Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Deb Drummond, who opens up about her remarkable journey from using food as an emotional crutch to discovering genuine food freedom.

Deb's story is one that might feel familiar – from her fast-paced music industry days to her awakening about how she was using even "healthy" foods in unhealthy ways. What struck me most i...

What does it really mean to never give up - especially when the goal takes years longer than you expected?

In this final episode of my 3-part post-marathon series, I’m sharing the long, winding journey to qualifying for the Boston Marathon - and how it parallels the path to food freedom and body trust.

After the marathon, I gave myself more space to recover than ever before - and I still found myself overriding what my body was asking for.

This episode is part two of my 3-part post-race series, and it’s all about the after: the energy drop, the resistance to slowing down, and the uncomfortable truth that even intentional rest sometimes misses the mark.

I’m sharing why rest is hard for so many of us, how I’ve been practicing receivi...

I recently ran the Eugene Marathon - and I qualified for Boston. But what made this race so meaningful wasn’t just the finish time. It was how I showed up when things got hard.

In this episode, I’m sharing the full story of race day: the physical pain, the mental challenges, the moments I wanted to quit, and the mindset that carried me through. It’s the first in a 3-part series about the race, the recovery, and what it really means ...

In today's episode, I share what happened when I watched Olympic and Paralympic athletes discuss their body image struggles on Project Runway. I was struck by how these incredible women - whose bodies many of us might envy - still faced insecurities and fitting challenges. If even Olympic athletes struggle with body image, what does that mean for the rest of us?

I explore how focusing on what our bodies can DO rather than how t...

What do you do when everything goes off the rails and your nervous system is on high alert?

In this episode, I share what happened during a recent workshop when unexpected tech issues threw everything off track—and how I responded in a way that’s very different from how I would have during my binge eating years.

Instead of relying on willpower or pushing through, I took a moment to pause, regulate, and move forward with intention. I ...

Many of us believe we need more control over our eating habits, more willpower, more discipline. But what if control is actually the problem, not the solution?

In this episode, I share my personal journey of realizing that my binge eating wasn't about lacking control—it was about desperately seeking safety in the wrong ways.

I explain why the more we try to control our eating, the more out of control we ultimately feel, and why ...
