What if the very urges you’ve battled for years—the binge eating, the cravings, the restless hunger—were never the enemy, but the portal to the life you were always meant for?
In this electrifying episode, I sit down with Mel Lopez, the powerhouse behind Insatiable Mel, who is on a mission to redefine recovery as we know it. Mel knows firsthand what it’s like to get lost in the eating, the body obsession, and the self-doubt… and she also knows the fire that never goes out—the one whispering, You were meant for more.
This isn’t about just “fixing” binge eating. It’s about harnessing the energy, intensity, and drive that once kept you stuck and turning it into unstoppable momentum toward your deepest desires—love, freedom, purpose, and peace with food and yourself.
We explore:
🔥 How to transform your urges into creative and life-building fuel
💎 Why recovery is just the beginning of your next chapter
🌸 Reclaiming your identity, relationships, and dreams after years of self-sabotage
💖 The connection between food freedom and building your “fairytale” life
⏳ Why time—not worthiness or willpower—is your most valuable resource in healing
If you’ve ever felt like your hunger was about more than food, this episode will feel like a permission slip to step fully into the woman you were always meant to be.
