Mindful Cravings: Balancing Emotions and Fitness

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, with our guest Angela Barnett, we explore the connection between emotional eating and fitness. We discuss mindful cravings and the importance of balancing emotions with food and exercise. Angela promotes a holistic approach to wellness that includes physical fitness, emotional healing, and life coaching.

We talk about the struggles of emotional eating, where people often turn to food for comfort during tough times. Angela highlights the need to recognize the triggers behind these cravings instead of just cutting out favorite foods. For example, she compares this to giving a baby a bottle to stop crying, showing how we often learn to soothe ourselves with food in a similar way. Instead of eliminating our favorite foods entirely, Angela suggests reducing them and finding healthier alternatives that can satisfy cravings.

We also focus on the importance of setting personal boundaries to reclaim your power and manage your emotions effectively. Angela introduces Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which involves tapping on specific points of the body while thinking about negative feelings. This method helps with processing emotions and reducing the urge to use food as comfort.

Additionally, we suggest simple self-care practices like journaling and physical activity as healthy ways to cope with feelings. We emphasize that fitness plays a crucial role in managing emotions and building self-love.

Lastly, we discuss the value of community support in your journey to better emotional and physical health and the importance of personal growth and self-reflection.

Join us to learn more about reclaiming your power, being mindful with food, and making healthier choices in your fitness routine!

without further ado, I'm gonna go ahead and bring her
to the stage.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Hello, Angie, how are you?

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I am wonderful, How are you?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I am good? I'm good, I'm good. Welcome to Hot Topics.
Welcome to the hot seats.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
All right, so let's get to it. So we're here
to talk about emotional eating. Right, you have an opinion
on that, I want to hear it. Let's dive into it.
Take the floor.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
So one of the first questions I asked with my
clients when they start training with me or personal training
with me, is what's their favorite food? Most personal trainers
and enhance most personal trainers will be like, you know,
we're gonna take that food away because that's, of course
the food we go to when we're stressed, seeding. That

(05:51):
could be the food we're going to and we're having
friends over and what have you. That also be the
food that you know is making us gain the most way. Okay,
but I tend to go a little bit deeper or
tend to turn a little bit on that I don't
take it away from you. I do not take your
favorite food away from you. I like to what they
call add it into the budget. All right, I'm working

(06:14):
with my financial coach. She asked me the favorite things
I like to spend my money on, and we worked
those into the budget. So the same thing with your
emotional cravings and what have you. We're going to work
those into your nutrition budget. The issue is, and the
reason why is I believe and go buy that. We're

(06:34):
all five years old in our head. Okay, And I've
had this happen with so many clients. I have a
client now that her favorite food is Christal Kreme donuts,
and the moment I tell them not to eat the
Christal Kreme donuts, guess what happens. Instead of having at
one or two a day and working off later on,
she's eating the whole box because I've already been told no.

(06:55):
So what I like to do is, I'd like to
figure out the favorite food. What's the emotion behind the food?
Why is this food your friend? Or what is it
bringing to you? What energy, what love, what caring it
is bringing to you? And then let's figure out how
we can get that energy from another food or and
also dealing with the emotions that has caused that. So

(07:18):
what are we feeling? What's the first time we felt this?
Is that a true statement? Asking those questions really do
help with the emotional eating, but also addresses the real issue,
which is not the food. It's the reason why you're
eating behind the food.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
All right, all right, awesome, awesome, all right, So let's
dive into that. So, so in terms of emotional eating, right,
is there certain emotions that you're looking for, Like, so,

(07:56):
is it a food that makes us hop or food
that we tend to eat when we're sad. So let's
dive into it. What is emotional eating exactly? Is it
just like comfort foods?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Comfort foods comfort foods can be one thing. But also
I am angry. I don't know what to do. So
think about it. When we're babies, right, we're getting frustrated
when we're infants, Okay, the first thing Mama does no
offense because we want a baby quiet. But we put
a bottle in our mouth. Okay, when we're kids and
you know we're running around, put a bottle on in

(08:30):
our mouth. As we grow up, any type of emotion,
whether it's happy, funerals, sad, graduations, Thanksgiving, all those things
centered around the food. We're a food center society. So
a lot of people and a lot of my clients
in the past and present have equated that to food

(08:50):
is my friend. So I'm going to be able to
get happiness when I'm eating food, now, I'll trust me.
I enjoy food too, Okay, I get happy. Okay, I
happy when there's a pot of color greens in my lap. Okay, Like, yeah,
my favorite two foods are colored greens and glasses of wine. Okay,
So if I'm really emotional, I'm going to glasses of wine. Okay.

(09:12):
So we have equated to getting our dopamine or whatever
faxatiation that we need at the time. Some of us
has equated that to the food. I've literally heard people say, well,
this is my friend, and I'm like, okay, so what
is that friend telling you right now? When you're eating
those christmap creme donuts. Let's just use christmah creame. No,

(09:35):
she ain't christahy creme love, y'all, but what is that
food giving you? What are you feeling in that time?
Are you feeling say siated? Are you feeling happy? Are
you feeling sad? Is that allowing you to talk, because
allowing you to cry what have you? And getting into
that not just mindfully mindlessly eating, but getting into Okay,

(09:58):
what am I actually feeling in my body and my
spirit and moving forward? What's that?

Speaker 4 (10:06):
So?

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Is it like?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
So? Is it like?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Okay, So when I'm so like myself? For example, so
whenever I'm feeling like agitated or angry or annoyed, it's like,
I want something sweet to eat, So I want like

(10:32):
like a like cookies, or I tend to go for
like the McDonald's smoothies. So so it's like when I'm
when I want to feed whatever, I'm angry and I
want to to calm down. So it's like my go

(10:54):
to is something sugary?

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Right? So is it? Is it something like that.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Person is different? Okay, so you're a sugary person, cool,
I'm not. I'm more of a as I said, wine
and salt person. Okay, I might go get some chips
if I'm really irritated or what have you. But that's
just me. So each of us have a different type
of food that we gravity take too. Okay, So studies

(11:20):
have seen and shown that sugar is really good when
you're feeling. Most people, a lot of people crave sugar
when they're lonely and they're sad. Okay, So like you
just mentioned that that need for comfort, they freak the
sugar because it makes you feel good. We're looking for
something to make us feel good. Okay. So while we're
in that feeling good state, I like to go, okay,

(11:43):
let's use the food as a double meaning, but also
look at the life experience and go, Okay, what got
me here? What's that trigger point moment that I said
I need to go to McDonald's and get a shake.
Where did that change? So maybe you know, two or
three hours ago somebody says some and then it kind
of click to you that that made me angry. So

(12:04):
and so said that, you know, don't go well, they mean,
you know whatever they know, And now I'm angry. Okay,
Now we have an emotion we have okay, from a situation. Correct.
So what that situation also reminds us of stuff that
happened in our childhood too, because it's probably not the

(12:26):
first time you feel disrespectful or I feel alone or
I feel lonely in this moment. So I go to
your sweet treat to make me feel better. That is wonderful.
That's a natural reaction because we want to feel better.
You won't the double meat. But I say, while we're
in that state of being making myself feel better, let's

(12:49):
look at what's going on and how could I say mortin?
How could I do more? Is it a boundary that
was crossed that I didn't say the boundary was there?
If not, that I'm mad? Why am I mad? Because
so and so did this? Okay, did I state my
boundary first? Did they know the boundary? Did they need
a reminder of the boundary ordering it to a bigger

(13:11):
boundary around myself? And go, okay, maybe now this person
needs a bigger boundary because my anger is not my
anger is my responsibility. Yes, but I also need to
set my boundaries around them so that I'm not here
going into my street red creating.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Right, So it's there's the emotional but then there's the
psychological component to it, and that when you're feeling a
certain emotion, and it starts from childhood, right, you know,
it's when you're feeling when you're when the baby's crying,
mom gives a bottle, right.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
So you've I don't know instinctively is the word.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
But you've, yeah, unconsciously in a way stopping the crying
with you know, eating something, right, And so babies cry
when they're upset, when their meats, their needs aren't being met,
and so you know, so of course they cry, right

(14:22):
because they don't know how to talk. So okay, so
they're upset, baby's upset, give them a bottle, right, And
so whenever I'm upset, I need to eat food to comfort.
So is there there's a pairing of the two that
we've done. But since you're about fitness, obviously that's a problem, right,

(14:43):
So what what's the problem with that?

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Or it can lead to problems.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I'm not gonna say it's gonna lead Yeah, it can
lead to problems. It can lead to insecurity, it can
lead to a lot of things. I'm not gonna say
it's a problem because I mean, honestly, who's gonna not
put the bottle in a baby's mouth? We do.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
I do not want to hear a screaming child, Okay,
I'm just like, however, now there's sympatic ways of dealing
with our emotions.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Now we can talk it out. I love now that
you know we're telling children, now use your words, you
know is not wrong. I remember my nephew was here
the other day. I told him to do the dishes,
and he got mad and he got angry, and you know,
in his household, he's not able to be mad at
an adult. And I told him, I said, it's okay
to use your words, it's okay to be mad at me.

(15:33):
It's okay to be mad at me. I still need
to do this chore. So he expressed his anger on
what he saw was the issue I didn't Apparently I
forgot that he didn't his brother didn't do the dishes
last night, so he had double the amount. So that's
what he was seeing. And so in his mind he
was like, yo, Auntie, he didn't do his dishes yesterday,

(15:55):
Why did I do both loads? And when he was
able to say that and go okay, souse, I literally said,
it's okay to be mad at me. What are you
mad at me about? And he told me, okay, now
I can address that issue and go okay, thank you
for showing me that cool. And I think that's what
we need to do now because especially if someone made

(16:17):
me mad today, okay, a lot of times that feeling
comes from somewhere where I was disrespected, I was lonely,
I felt disregarded somewhere in the past in my life,
and now I'm standing up for myself in this moment,
or I forgot to stand it for myself, or I
didn't set that boundary in this moment that now I'm
feeling disregarded. So I say it's an issue, but it's not.

(16:42):
But I want to go back to that disregard, like, Okay,
how can we empower ourselves now in this moment and
in this present B Like ANGB this present moment. Let's
be present in this moment and what boundaries can be
set now and moving forward so that we can set
those boundaries and keep our lastship with ourselves happy.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Right, So, so on that example with that disregard, So
they're there, and in that particular example, the person is
not being assertive that they want to be they they're
not there's it sounds like a people pleaser.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah yeah, sometimes there's other ways too, But for me,
people please, it's a big thing for me. So I
had to sit with myself and literally go, okay, why
are you mad? Well? They gave me all this work well,
you could have said no, Well, I didn't want them
to feel whatever. I didn't want them to feel that

(17:56):
their feeling is not my Do you know that's a
true feeling that they would feel if I didn't do
the work, or better yet, you could have, you know,
instead of the list of things that the person gave me,
I can take these two things on. I could set
that boundary. I could set this boundary of saying two
things instead of one. Now, let's going back to the
people please, so you're correct. It feels if I came

(18:18):
to you, Gabrielle, and it's like, okay, I need all
five of these things doing right now? What have you?
And then you tell me too. Most of times, especially
in people Please, in minds, you're scared to say I
could only do these two. But that's my boundary now right.
I got to set my boundary for myself so that
I am respecting my boundary in my life, my household

(18:41):
and what have you. And it's scary to set those boundaries,
but being okay to say, you know, what what am
I saying? By telling Gabrielle can only do these two things?
What am I saying yes to? In my life? Am
I able to clean up my house more? Am I
able to make myself happy? Am I only do the
paperwork that I need to do? And it comes a

(19:03):
lot that we still eat to satiate ourselves in the spat.
But getting into the point of why as we're eating,
as I use that mean use of mean that we're
getting from the food, please do and go Okay, now
that I have this, what am I actually feeling? And
getting in tune with our actual feelings and being honest

(19:23):
to those feelings as well?

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Absolutely absolutely, And it's and when it's when we don't
adjust those feelings that can lead to other coping mechanisms
that are not healthy, correct right, Because obviously that there's
an overwhelming of emotions that you're feeling and they have

(19:50):
to come out one way or another. So one of
the ways that people do that is the emotional eating.
And it can lead to I mean not that I
mean there's nothing wrong with it, but it it can
cause a problem when you're doing it too much, correct right,
And it does lead to it does lead to health issues.

(20:15):
It leads to obesity, it leads to other health issues
that come up.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
And so what I like to do is go through like, Okay,
this is a triggering moment, this is what happened this week. Okay,
where can we find our power? Again? Where's the power
in the situation? And most of the times when we
figure out where that power is in our situation, even
our current situation, we can go back and go Okay,
let me set this boundary. It might be hard to

(20:46):
set that boundary. It might be hard to tell you no.
And I usually change the word to I'm n able to.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
But what again?

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Like I asked a client here to day, what are
you saying yes to? She heard hun her brother's homeless,
and U currently her brother's homeless, and she'll allow him
over to take a shower, what have you. But sometimes
he just doesn't quite leave ther house. You know what
I'm saying, He doesn't quite leave, and she doesn't have
her space back. And so the other day she felt
guilty because she wanted to tell you know, she loves

(21:17):
her brother, yes, but she needs her own space too.
And sure enough, sure enough, she called me and she goes, hey,
I felt bad telling him no, he couldn't come over.
And I said, okay, good, but what did you say
yes to? And in that moment, she goes. I said

(21:38):
yes to my freedom. I said yes, so I now
can do paperwork. I said yes to now that I
can work. She had to work today, you know, so
that's the thing she was saying yes to. By having
that boundary.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
Up here on the screen, Summer rain Coach, and you
be help me to understand that food represented power and
independence for me. Major breakthrough. Thank you, Summer, Thank you
for sharing that. So so let's let's get into that.
So what what are the steps that you take to

(22:22):
address the the the the emotional, the emotional eating or
when it gets when it gets out of control. What
are the steps you take to to help your clients?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
So for me, there's not I'm gonna I'm gonna use
that term loosely out of control. But what each body
and each person is different. So during our intro session,
what we do is we sit down, We do a
couple of push ups and sit up to see where
your body is right now, what needs hurt, What hips hurt?
Is my back, it's my shoulder pain. We get in

(22:57):
tune with the body and get intun where to pay
is in the body. After that, I talk about what
when do you have those emotions when you have those
big feelings and it's okay, when do you go to
the crystal kream? When do you go to the glass
of wine? When you're running to potato chips right then
and there, Because as we were talking about, some cravings

(23:18):
do have some emotions attached to them. Most of us
again go to our own different foods, but some cravings
do have emotions attached to them. And while we're craving
that food, after that, I do a trigger point rolling
session with you. And what that does is we all
have fascia. Like everything's connected. Okay, So if you've ever

(23:38):
eaten chicken and deep skinned chicken, raw chicken, that white
stuff in between the skin and the meat is called fascia,
and we have that all over our bodies. And a
lot of times that fascia gets really really tight and
really tense, and we have little nuts all over ourselves
because you know, we're walking wrong, or we we hit

(24:00):
the corner on the bed, or you know, we tripped
on something, what have you, and those knots and those
as a body knots, something tights up, it decreases blood flow.
So while I'm doing the rolling, I'm increasing the blood
flow in the body. I've literally had people start crying
for no reason. Wait quote unquote no reason while doing that. Well,

(24:24):
one's painful, but some it can be painful, but two
as the bodies releasing attention that's been holding onto. Think
of it this way. We talk about when we have
tight shoulders. What's the first thing we say, we have
the weight of the world on our shoulders. We literally
our bodies literally, when we feel responsible for too much
our bodies, our bodies respond. Our shoulders are tight, our

(24:48):
back is type, our neck can shift because we have
the weight of the world on our shoulders. So by
by releasing that tension now we can go into what
fuel what we're act fueling us, and also what we're
actually feeling in our bodies and actually connect with our
bodies again through that and through the work working out process.

(25:09):
Of course, through the first two three months, we're just talking.
We're working out, but we're actually talking to and I
want to know, Hey, I had a bad week this week.
I had a whole I ate two bag of potato chips.
I ate two. Okay, let's go for a walk, Let's
drink some water. What trinder did that? Like we were
talking about earlier what happened that set you off? And

(25:30):
where was your boundary cross or And most times it's
boundaries or what boundaries do you need to enforce? And
like while I was saying my other participant, once she
set that boundary, yes, it was uncomfortable, but she said
yes to myself, I'm saying yes to me, which means
she's not eating as much and she's also discovering their power.

(25:53):
And by discovering that power and regaining that power again,
it's not the food that is bad. It's the how
I'm using the food and how I'm beating myself up
later on that's interesting. I won't call it bad. And
that's what you think that power again, you start to
release that energy of not needing that food anymore.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Right right? So you so by addressing.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
The the trigger that's making you eat the food, you're
you're you're changing the way that they perceive the situations
around them. You're changing the way that they handle that
emotion because you will get angry, you will get sad.
So we don't want to dive into food to you

(26:47):
all the time as a way to pacify ourselves. But
what can we do to what are healthy ways that
we can do that, and that's that's what you tackle
in your clients.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Yes, so that's very fair to say. Even with me
and my own journey, anger is part of one of
the emotions that I deal with the lights and within myself.
And I noticed when I get angry, I'm getting a
glass of wine. So I need to calm down. I
need to calm down and think. It's what I'm usually
telling myself. So now what I do, and I even

(27:20):
tell my clients this when whatever their triggering moment or
what you know, because you're gonna feel angry, we're gonna
feel sad, we're gonna get happy, We're gonna get emotions. Okay,
emotions are not bad as how we process them. So
now I say, let's go for a walk first. Even
with myself, when I get angry, I go for a
walk so I can think about what's going on. As
we're connected. We're kinetic beings, as we move the body.

(27:43):
As we move the body, we can better process things
and better go, hey, this is what's going on and
see things from a difference perspective. I forget who it
was or what motivational culture was that literally said here
write a problem down on a Yeah, he's at a table.
He'll write the problem down and if it's four chairs,

(28:05):
he'll sit in each chair and look at a different
perspective of the problem because actually physically and turning your
body into a different perspective will actually help you process
it a whole lot differently. So, especially if it's anger
or any type of emotion, you can process it differently
by just moving the body. So that's what I first
start off with. It's okay, let's go for a walk,

(28:27):
let's do an ig thing. We can go walk in,
we can running, we can go staring, meditating, praying, and
let's change them emotion and then let's after that. Do
you need it now? Even with EFT tapping, I do
the EFT tapping, we go through that. EFT tacking tapping
is emotional freedom technique, or we use points over the

(28:49):
body to talk to ourselves and we educate the body
and mind, bring the heart and mind together so that
we can see it from a different space and release
the anger, not just sitting on it and you know, hey,
I'm angry. Girls, all their fault. No, we have some
way of dealing with it for ourselves and breathing and

(29:11):
what have you said that we can take control and
we don't feel powerless, but we discover our power in
the emotion.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Well that's what it's all about. Discovering our power.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yes, yes, discovering our power, redefining our power, and allowing
ourselves to go. Wait, hold on, I do have a
say soul here, I do have a voice here, and
sometimes especially first people please, just hi, people pleasing here.
It's a little hard.

Speaker 5 (29:45):
But once you get that that no, I need this,
and once you figure out and see that people you
respect your Authoritie as Cartman was saying.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
South Ark, Yeah, speak.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
As you see that, or you start seeing who's been
using you, that's that too. Now you put up a boundary.
Not a person's mad, because it's boundaries here. Wait, I've
allowed you to just open this door and close it. No,
you're actually a drain to me. So now let me
set the boundary again. And yes, that's a hard one.

(30:25):
This is a hard one when you the people in
your like when you start seeing who you're allowed to
use you. But also this taking your power back now
because now I said yes, I said no, I set
my boundary. I'm holding my boundary and I feel more power.
So yes, speak my okay.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Sorry, So it sounds like you have most of your
clients are people who have issues setting their boundaries.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
That's mainly what I work with with DS of this
group is my nonprofit helping people coming out of high
control organizations, and so when it comes to that, that's
one of the things that I had to deal with
personally is learning how to set a boundary, learning to
be okay, that I actually had a voice that I
could say no or I'm unable to or you know what, Gabrielle,

(31:20):
I can only help you with one thing today, not
all five. And it's not always boundaries. There's other issues too,
but when you're able, boundaries is a big bard thing
that most both of my companies deal with. And once
you deal with those, because even working out a lot
of women, a lot of us women, we don't have

(31:42):
the time to work out okay, but we need to
set up boundary so that you know, even for myself,
that I need to respect to get up or stay
up later to do that workout. That's that hard fine
lab line, even with mental health side too, setting that
boundary the cultures of skill, your power and your freedom,
and you can't expect people to teach this with personal

(32:06):
You're gonna test your boundaries. Okay, just like children test you.
You're a parent, Your children test with boundaries. My dogs
test my boundaries all the time. Mom. You know you
didn't mean no. You sure you want to feed me again,
don't you?

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Mom?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
You know people are gonna test it, and it's your
job to stand firm. You can't manash their emotions. It's
your job to minish your own emotions. But set those
clear boundaries so that it's not your job tonish their
emotions but manage yours. So set those clear boundaries so
that you can manage your emotions for yourself. Now, what

(32:42):
are remote with they're emoting? That's on them and keep
it moving.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
There you go. You know.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
That's that's something that we struggle with sometimes, right, like
how do we say know to people?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
How do we.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Not take on so much? You know, it's how do
we say no to ourselves? How do we say no
to other people?

Speaker 1 (33:04):
How do we how do we work.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Within our limits and not try to go beyond those
limits that we have as humans? There's only so much
that we can handle, So how do we stop ourselves
from not going beyond those limits for me, I'm what.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
It works for a lot of people in my participants,
I use rewards, I use rewards, and also again getting
clear on what that limit is. So first starting with yourself,
of course, because you're not going to be able to
set a boundary for anybody else until you respect yourself.

(33:46):
You gotta put some respect on yourself too. So what
happens is it's like, okay, and each person is different,
each person, each body is different, each you are completely different.
So what happens is a lot of times for me
is that we sit down and I will talk during

(34:06):
that during that time where you're like, hey, this is
what happened, this is what happened, this is what happened. Okay, great,
where were your boundaries? Where do you figure out your
boundaries across? Okay? Did I tell you Gabrielle that you
know I don't like purple shirts? No, this is the
first time she reward purple short around me. Okay, cool, Well,
maybe we need to talk to Gabrielle and tell her, hey,

(34:29):
let's not wear pepper shirts because it triggers me for
something that happened to me in my childhood. Okay, now
two weeks later, you wear a purple shirit again, since respectfully,
I've got to leave set my boundary because you're wearing
a purple shirt, and I have to be able to
stand that boundary as we grow and we set those

(34:50):
times even with our workouts, with our fitness times, it's
so easy, and I'm guilty of this too, when we're
having that market. When we have our time to wake
up in the morning and to work out, whether it's
a stretch or a complete run or what have you,
it's so challenging to just get up out of the
bed sometimes and honor myself. Because you don't. I can

(35:11):
push it to later. I can push it later. But
I read a statement that said low confidence starts because
you'd hear every lie you told yourself. Low confidence, low
self worth starts with every light you told yourself. So
even if you get up out of it and do
five minutes, that's where we start at perfect And let's

(35:32):
start there with that five minutes, and we build on
a minute every year, every week, every week, the building
it out in a minute, that's that boundary that you've done.
You've created that boundary. Now you're gonna be like, okay,
I can't start my day without ten minutes of stretching,
then you're able to go set those boundaries with someone else. Hey,

(35:52):
I need to do my ten minutes as stretching first
before I do anything else. But also giving yourself grace.
I think we especially as people pleasers hi people piece
a cup, especially with us giving ourselves grace. We have
to give ourselves that grace that you know, some days
I don't feel one hundred percent, So you know what,

(36:14):
I'm going to give myself five minutes and if I
feel like I can do it for five more minutes, great,
But if not, I've honored myself enough to know that
I can work out for five minutes and I've done it.
I did what I told myself I'm going to do.
And giving yourself that grace and that love to say, Okay,
I did my five minutes. That's all I can do today,

(36:34):
but tomorrow I'm going to do ten and loving yourself
in that moment so that we can move forward and
just build on that progress because your emotion is gonna happen,
but it's working through those emotions with that physical fitness
is amazing and that's what we see the growth and
that's what we see the self love, and we're starting

(36:56):
to see more people just stand in their power and
that truth and realize that you were amazing, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
So now, just quick question, is it only is it
only food that you deal with? Because when people feel
those same emotions, you know, in the in the guise
of fitness, some people would turn to exercising more like
when they're angry, I'm gonna do twenty push ups, a

(37:29):
thirty push ups. So is it just people with food
issues for lack of a better term, that you work with,
or is it just just maladaptive coping mechanisms?

Speaker 3 (37:43):
For right now, most of the people that especially with
the Wellman's coaching, it's about food issues. However, you're right,
there are people that will go work out and do
runs and what have you. And so we can look
at those same traits of Okay, I'm doing one hundred
push ups, I'm mad. That's a healthy habit. But are
we dealing with the issue again, are we dealing with

(38:05):
what made you mad? Are we dealing with what made
you irritated? Are we dealing with it? That's there's still
other scape that's still a scapegoat. So depending on the
person again, everybody is different. So when we're looking at that, okay,
so what are you running from? If you're a runner,
you're going to go run three miles after you know,

(38:28):
so one made you mad? Great? Cool, you're healthy, you
got it done? Great, awesome? But what are we work
running from? What do you not feel control of? And
how do we need to face it? That would be
my first thing of physics, you know, soon as a
runner or you know what have you. So each person
is different, but mainly my clients are participants are mostly

(38:48):
dealing with food for right now at least?

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Okay, gotcha?

Speaker 2 (38:54):
So the goal of your service not to eliminate the food,
but to we want to cut down on it, right
and then okay, sorry, so I just thought, you know,
uh so not to eliminate the food, but to well one,

(39:17):
cut down on it and then to teach the client
better ways to cope with those emotions.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
Right. We call it simply at it healing or you know, symbia.
I always have problems with this word. Where we're learning
how to deal with ourselves. We're not looking for something
external to bring us to us, but if we're going
to deal with it within our bodies, within ourselves. Like

(39:48):
I said, the body keeps memory, the body understands what's
going on. So moving forward, how do we do better
in making sure that this motion is being process I
didn't say not go eat, Okay, I didn't say not.
But at the same time, let's can we cut back
from four Christmas gruit donuts to one? Can we cut

(40:10):
back to the whole bottle of wine to one glass
and still process that same emotion and working better that way? Yes?

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Well, then in terms of your process though, so what
do you do with first? So all right, so I
come to you, and I say, well, obviously they're gonna
come to you first with a food problem.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
I'm assuming. Hey, you know when.

Speaker 2 (40:35):
I I love my McDonald's smoothies, when I just I
just felt agitated and angry, I'm just I'm just gonna
go to McDonald's and get those smoothies, and I just oh,
I love those smoothies. Right, So what do.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
You do first?

Speaker 3 (40:53):
Next time you go to McDonald's, Bring your journal, Sit
in McDonald's and be present with their own emotion while
you're eating your smooth and journal what's going on. So
now we're not just downing the smoothie, making it cover
up the emotion. I want you to get honest with
what's going on. I felt this way. I got to die.

(41:15):
They did this, they did that. I am frustrated because
the kids did this, and the job this this, and
Angela didn't shut up and all this stuff. Write it
all down, write it all down, and as you're as
you're drinking, And now we're getting honest with what's going
on in our bodies. We're not just covering up. We're

(41:39):
actually looking at it. Because just like anything, we can
throw stuff in the closet, but eventually that closet is full,
we have to go through and dig it out and
clean it up and take care of the poop that's
in there, because something in this thinks okay, like we
have to deal with it. So now it's okay, not
and giving yourself. It's okay. Then I'm angry. It is okay.

(42:03):
Then I'm frustrated. It's okay that I am feeling this emotion,
whatever that emotion is, it is okay. What's not okay
it's how I react or respond. So I can't, you know,
go hit somebody. That can't go hit my husband because
he may be angry. I can't go hit so and
so because they may be angry, But how do I

(42:25):
respond now that I've gotten through this and it's an
also wait, pause, take a beat. It's okay. I'm glad
you wouldn't have mcdonaldson got that smoothie. And you're journaling
because now you can look at it a different way
and after you get through their emotions. Oh okay, this
is what that happened. Okay, that's how to happen. And

(42:46):
we're moving forward with it and not just sitting in
it with the Ain't that I don't like them, number,
that's just it. We're taking accountability. We're taking accountability for
our feelings and processing them and moving forward. So that
would be the first thing. You told me that you
get that with the smoothies. Great, cool, let me know
the next time you go. Text me on your way
or text me when you get there. But I want

(43:07):
you to journal, and I want you to ask you
or these you know, couple questions. One of the questions
definitely would be did I do the best I could
with the information I had provided at the time, not
what I I know now what I had at the time.
After we process that emotion, okay, then we do the

(43:29):
eft tapping. Even though Gabrielle made me angry for whatever reason,
I still completely love and accept myself even though and
we just keep doing that. I still completely love and
accept myself. Even though I am feeling angry in my
body and I'm so frustrated and I feel like no
one loves me. I still completely love and accept myself.

(43:50):
And those are the tools that I start to give
people so that they can process to anger and understand that, Hey,
the emotions okay, especially with I think anger is wanted
a one one, an emotion that we think we're especially
here in America, it's able to we can use that one.
But when we're feeling but someone's crying or distraught, people

(44:13):
don't know how to deal with that emotion with other people.
So angers one is kind of like, it's okay to
be angry, but it's also okay to lash out, and
we can't just lash out on everybody you might want to.
We can't.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Right, It's not exactly healthy, But that's an interesting point
that you brought up. The anger is one of those emotions.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
That we.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Seek to solve, we seek to fix, as opposed to sadness,
where it's like, how do you deal with that? You know,
if somebody said might be like stop crying or get
over it, or what are you crying about? You're not
going to cry and nothing to cry about, or my

(45:00):
pet peeve, Oh, don't be for sad, You're beautiful, Like, okay.

Speaker 3 (45:06):
Let me process my sadness. Like I love that when
I'm in a story and maybe I'm listening to a
podcast and I'm just thinking and someone walk past me
and say smile woman, and I'm like, I'm happy. But
because you can't see the happiness on my face, that's
a trigger for you. I'm in my head thinking about
bills or planning a party, or I run two businesses.

(45:29):
Come on, I'm thinking about something, okay, but but yeah, anger,
for some reasons is more socially acceptable, but especially when
it comes to sadness. I think I started this journey
also because I'm a crier. I process emotion by crying. Okay,
I have no problem telling them I will cry at
a drop of the hat. I'll put you and say
give me ten minutes, I'll be fine. But for some reason,

(45:51):
whenever I started crying when people are around me, all of
a sudden, angela stop crying. You don't have anything to
cry about. That's not a big, big deal. It's not
a big so we're putting down that person's feelings. Like, no,
it's a big deal for me. I'm crying because I'm
processing it. I'm allowing it to go through my body

(46:12):
and it's okay for it to cry, and then afterwards
I can go, Okay, now let me move forward and
figure out what boundary and to put up what have you.
So you're definitely right about yeah, anger being one of
those comments. Yes, summer rage is closed again, she's one

(46:36):
of my participants. Say yes, I taught her to EFT
tapping technique, and yes, she is definitely one of the ones.
Is like, I can work through this emotion, yes, because
a lot of us only let ourselves cry. I have
friends that don't let themselves cry. And I'm like, since
we all need to emotionally poop, that's what I call
cryme we do daily poops, right, Well, we need to

(46:57):
emotional poop. And you don't have to tell them when
you're you can do any bathroom okay, in the shower,
So no one sees, okay, all right, but let that
go because just like a peel onion is a new skin,
is a new layer under that that is so much
more powerful than just going gurn beat them up.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yes, of course. Uh let me just read this comment
from Summer again. She says, yes, eft tapping doesn't take
the problem away, but it helped me to talk about
it in a place of power instead of pure reaction.
Thank you, Summer, thank you so much for that. Yeah.

(47:41):
So all about finding power, not just reacting, but actually
sitting with those emotions, sitting with those negative feelings, and Okay,
why am I feeling this way? Okay, I don't want
to make it a habit where I turned to food
to all myself down, to posify myself. I want to

(48:04):
find a healthy way to do that. I want to
find a better way to address those that anger, that sadness.
So it's all about finding your power and balancing your body,
so to speak, and.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Giving yourself grace. Because if I go to log because
you can't go on, oh, I do drink a bottle
of one at home by myself. Let me get at
home at home safely. I'm drinking and driving. But if
I'm you know, if I'm safe and I'm doing this thing, Okay,
this is what I needed to get. Don mean, back up, Now,
let's solve the issue. Now, let's now that we're happy,

(48:40):
now that we have this stuff. Mean, now we're done tapping.
Now let's where could have done better? What boundary? Most
times it goes to boundaries. What boundaries do I feel
is cross if I'm angrier, if I'm sad? What boundary
it was?

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Cross?

Speaker 3 (48:53):
It I did not say? Or is it a new boundary?
I did an anger management class with my nonprofit the
other day and that's the first thing I said it
that is it something that you didn't know you needed?
Because sometimes we have new boundaries that I didn't know
that that was there. So now I've got to work
through this to go, Okay, maybe I don't. I didn't

(49:14):
know that. Now I've got to set that with myself.
So then tell others to respect this line. And it's
very very awesome, very very amazing how people are able
to work through it but also discover that power again.
And once we forget out their power, there's no stopping you.
There's no stopping you.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Absolutely absolutely, and we'll just get this comment from somewhere again.
Be out of the prison system, over out of time.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
She'll call me like I mean okay, and we'll talk
literally like with EFT tapping you literally just you go
through it because we get mad. Our boundaries get close.
You know what they did, someone cuts cut me off
the day YadA yah, you gotta. I don't like how
they cut me offetade. They gave me a finger that
gave me the park and we do a couple of

(50:07):
breathing techniques and then we go and this is the
part we can change here. So this is the part
where the emotion is so the part. Even though I'm
feeling frustrated and angry because someone cut me off in traffic,
I still completely love and accept myself. Even though I
am stuck in traffic and I'm very irritated because I'm

(50:28):
running late. I still completely love and except myself and
going through that. And there's other points that we can
tap to that will help just calm and regulate them.
Sympatic system. I always don't judge me on that. This
system down regulate the body. So you're like, okay, all right,

(50:48):
because honestly that person is going through something too, and
most times it's not even about you. I just left
the event the other day and they call it spotlight syndrome.
Everybody believes that I'm the center of your universe, Gabrielle,
and I'm the center of Summer's universe, and I'm the
center of my husband. Here, I'm the center of me,
when really you're the center of your universe. Summer's the

(51:10):
center of her universe. My husband's the center of his universe.
While we do have supporting roles in each other's lives, supporting,
I had to take care of me and be honestly
in truth for myself, but also give myself grace that
I'm feeling this. I'm feeling this feeling. It's a mighty
big feeling right now. And it's okay for me to

(51:31):
have this feeling. It's okay for me to tear up.
It's okay for me to cry, It's okay for me
to feel anger, sad, and it's loneliness. Now what do
we do with it? If I'm feeling lonely? Okay? Then
how do we address the loneliness? We can go? Can
we been to the park? Is there something that I
want to do with loneliness? Okay? What's your child's side?

(51:52):
Do are you taking yourself on a child? Date like yourself.
For me, I love skating, so husband or not, I'm
going skating because my friends those skating with me. So
I'll just go skating. That's my child day for myself.
That makes me feel so much better, whether someone came
or not. Then I meet a friend there that went
to skate, so now I made a new friend. And

(52:12):
also I'm taking care of myself.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Excuse me, you're putting yourself? Yes, beautiful, beautiful, all right.
So I am going to start to wind things down.
So on my show Hot Topics, I like to ask
my guests to share word of wisdom with our audience. So,

(52:40):
coach Angie, do you have any word of wisdom you'd
like to share?

Speaker 3 (52:47):
Stop talking to my friend so negatively. You know, my
friend in the mirror, she's doing the best she can.
He's doing the best he can give that my friend
is in the mirror, because I honestly think that, Gabriel,
if you heard me talking to myself out loud of

(53:08):
what's going on in our heads, we'd be like, no girl,
no same thing. But now since no one's hearing that conversation,
we don't give ourselves that same love. We wouldn't talk
to our five year old self that way. We wouldn't
talk to our ten year old self that way. So

(53:28):
give yourself grace, give yourself love, be yourself, be you,
and sometimes you don't know who it is. That's fine.
Start up with what you don't like, start getting rid
of things you don't like first and we can figure
out that later. But love this body. Love the body

(53:49):
you have right now, Love the energy you have right now,
because there's someone out there that loves it that we'll
find it once. You're your whole self, So just be you,
but give yourself grace and honor that body you have
right now, and honor your spirit.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
Well, Coach Angie, thank you for coming on Hot Topics

(56:21):
coaching and because so many people do deal with emotional
eating and learning how to regulate their emotions, that's where
we're usually start. But we do fitness training, so there's
a physical component with that. Where we did a wellness
and fitness we talk about eating, we talk about herbs
to take and keeping this body this temple clean, not clean,

(56:41):
but also changing the body into what we would desire,
but also loving this body where it's at. I don't
know if you've got my book, but I do have
a coloring book that I have with people.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
Oh yes, let me thank you for.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
All right, there you go, Yes, yes, this is where
we've tried to love and then I know we went
into it. But coloring is a really good way of
slowing down the mind but also doing your manifest your affirmations,
and using those colors to heal and change the mindset.

(57:22):
So I've actually had people because it's an activity book.
So in the book, I talk about what are you
thankful for with your body today and give those reasons,
give the reasons why your body is You're grateful for
your body today, and we work there and set those
goals with rewards so that you're able to reach those

(57:44):
milestones physically and with the that also includes a life coach,
and so I kind of say it's like an eight away.
Both businesses kind of do the same thing, but then
starting points certain different places, and with the S industry
about help people re educate themselves and we learn life
after leaving a high control religious organization or high control organizations,

(58:05):
because when you've been tied into one of those organizations
for so long, you don't know how to think for yourself.
You're scared to think for yourself. And I personally experienced that.
So relearning life was very challenging but also very very
rewarding and that now I have this freedom to go, okay,
I can make this decision for myself and that is okay,

(58:27):
and it's give myself the grace to go I don't know,
will you please help me? And being okay with that.
So those are the services we do. Reiki, we do
FT tapping, we do trigger point therapy, stretching. The total
body stretch is one thing I get to my clients
all the time and literally feeling the weight lift off
their shoulders and being able to feel their power again.

(58:50):
It's so amazing and they enjoy it and being reminded that,
you know what, this body does matter and I matter.
So those are the services, and you can catch me
a coach jib dot com.

Speaker 2 (59:03):
All right, you do in person virtual? How does that work?

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Virtual and in person? I'm in an Atlanta area, so
if you're in the Atlanta area in person, but I
do have virtual clients as well, and a lot of this,
a lot of these services I can do virtually, So
just DM me, we'll talk about it. Prices are very
prices are interesting, you know, prices a crisis. But I'm
willing to work with people as well too, because I

(59:30):
know this is something we all need and much better
if we talk about it and you get what you need,
then you know you're just sit here saying I can't
afford it. So yes, I'm here doing people's work. I
guess so, you know. But getting in tune with your
body and getting control of your body once you're I
said this way, feeding fill in your cup honestly helps

(59:53):
you fill up everyone else's cup. We all think about
doing the family first. No, once you're happy and you're
settled within yourself and set up in the spirit. You
show up differently for your friends, your family, your partner,
your kids, your businesses. You show up so completely differently,
which means you're able to give better to those around

(01:00:13):
you because you've showed up to taking care of yourself first.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Right Like how on the plane, the plane's going down,
the maks come down, they tell you put your mask
first before you put it on somebody else.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
Yes, and reminded that. We're reminded about that in a plane,
but in life is a little bit more challenging. We think, okay, well,
let me just do this, let me just do this,
and no, like I said earlier, just doing that five minutes,
ten minutes in the morning for you, closing the door.
The baby will be fine in front of the TV

(01:00:46):
for ten minutes. Okay, the baby will be fine, the
husband will be fine, the partners will be fine for
ten minutes. Just doing for you for at least ten
minutes a day will fill your cups so much more
so you can show up better for those for your
people that really do depend on you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
All right, all right, as we're talking about books, you
have a plethora of books from Amazon, one of which
we held up that's showing up backwards on my screen,
but it's on radio naturally. Your coloring book, Yes, there
you go. That's one of your books. Uh, tell us

(01:01:21):
about some of your other books.

Speaker 3 (01:01:24):
So my other books here, but I've read in a
couple of UKs. I have a one vision board program
called Vision and Veno, where we create an interactive vision
board and with the interactive vision board, we're required to
talk to look at it every day and not just

(01:01:45):
put it on the wall, but actually put things with
meaning behind it and using our words again to make
the life that we desire and create our power with
this board. I'm also have a run program to couch,
a five K for program where we start off very slowly,

(01:02:06):
honoring our bodies where it's at. We're just walking that spine.
But three miles three point two miles is a five K,
So it's starting off where you're at, whether walking or running,
but you're gonna walk at intervals or you're gonna you know,
run at intervals to build up to that three point
five seeing three point two miles, which is a five K.

(01:02:30):
What are the books that I have? An emotional eating
book when I was what we're talking about eating your
McDonald's I have that book where it's a journal and
it says, hey, you know, how am I feeling today? Okay,
and this is what's going on. So when we talk
about journaling that book too, that's what I want you
to journale with while you're eating. And we're not again,

(01:02:51):
we're not judging it. It's just is. So those are
a few of my books that I have on Amazon,
and the Linco is right there.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Yeah, so I'll just say this for my audience. So
