Curb the Binge: The Podcast

When it comes to addiction, astrology is a rich place to look for answers. While everyone's astrological birth chart is unique, and there are many configurations and signatures that could point to the potential of or tendency towards addiction, one looming theme bears mentioning: that of Neptune. 

Neptune is the planet that represents the ocean of consciousness, the field into which the individual soul dissolves and we are all One....

Forgiveness is an essential tool for freeing up energy, taking back our creative power, and living our fullest lives. 

So many of us think we've forgiven when, in fact, we've just buried our resentments. 

This leaves us drained and cut off from our full potential, and, often, not knowing why. 

Dara McKinley has dived deep into this work to discover how we can really, truly forgive. 

Dara experienced her own big betrayal some years ...

Andrew Pearce is a life coach who specializes in helping us Humans understand the roots of our behavior. As he says, when we clearly see why we behave in a certain way that is not bringing us the results we want, we are gifted the freedom to change it. 

When it comes to addiction, Andrew talks about the freedom of choice in a way that can wake an addict up and give us the courage to take the future - and our wellbeing and recovery ...

Life designer, author, coach, host of The You-Est YOU Podcast and multi-time TEDx speaker Julie Reisler talks with Curb the Binge about her journey from people-pleasing and emotional eating to living a life that honors her authentic self. 

Julie's relationship with food was the catalyst that showed her that something wasn't right - at the time, her MO was wearing a mask of perfection that felt very far away from how she truly felt ...

Jenn Edden is a coach on a mission, and her book, "Woman Unleashed: A Sensitive Woman's Guide to Radiant Energy and Unstoppable Confidence (Including a 21-Day Plan to Kick Sugar's Hold on You)" is a tour-de-force. 

A self-identified recovering sugar-a-holic turned sugar addiction expert, Jenn shares Curb the Binge's passion for aligning how we eat, with the succ...

Food is considered by some - and for some - to be a "keystone habit." Coined by Charles Duhigg, a keystone habit is a habit that leads to the development of other good habits. Getting 8 hours of sleep per night, for instance, is a keystone habit. 

For many, organizing our food (and, I would add, solving for addictive behaviors around food) is also a keystone habit. 

When we begin to clean up our food, we may notice ourselves waking...

Curb the Binge is about trading in our addictions and coping mechanisms for a life of purpose. To know our purpose, we must know ourselves far beyond the layers of conditioned responses we all carry - we must get down into our very essence. 

This level of insight is offered to us through the work of the enneagram. Far more than a personality typing system, the enneagram describes "nine styles" or ways of being that can shed light o...

Veganism is a term that has become loaded with connotations, conclusions and assumptions. Many of us think we've made up our minds on this issue - whether veganism is for us, or not. Whether the climate crisis and the meat/dairy industries' connection to it are things we will think about, or not. 

In this provocative and uniquely passionate podcast, you will learn a completely new lens through which to look at animal consumption.

I called this meditation, "I Will Learn at My Own Pace" instead of "I Will Heal at My Own Pace" because healing is, essentially, learning. We heal by understanding and then consciously changing our behavior based on our understanding. 

When it comes to learning, there is so much stigma in the world. When we go to school, we get grades that assess "how well we learn." And yet, learning cannot be measured - it happens for everyone at...

Somatic Intelligence innovator and expert Chen Lizra knows that there is something missing in a culture that is addicted to the "pace of the race," as she calls it, spending too much time in our heads and not enough time in our bodies. 

Why is this important? Well, to live a fulfilled life, Chen offers, we need to balance the drive we have for success in the material realm, with fulfillment in other realms. The body is a concrete, ...

The best practices, teachers and coaches show us how to use the gifts we already have inside us so that we can radiate from the inside. Kundalini yoga is one of these practices. Through a wise blend of breath, posture, chanting and meditation, we are guided to stoke our prana, or energy in such a way that we truly begin to raise our energy levels and the quality of energy that we generate and then share with others. 

Kundalini yoga...

Binging and your period have an intimate and fascinating connection that you may have never been told about; not just in female humans, but in non-human animals as well. 

Sue Kolod, Ph.D., has been studying the impact of hormones on the psyche with a particular focus on sexuality, menopause and the menstrual cycle. Her findings are illuminating, cutting-edge, and applicable to daily life. 

With a compassionate and inquisitive appro...

When I first saw Cat Kabira in a yoga training video, she got me with her centered, peaceful, and most of all authentic approach. The words she said seemed to pour from her heart bringing with them a needed dose of love and compassion for all Humans, especially for the part of each of us that is vulnerable, imperfect, fumbling.

Rather than taking a "self-betterment" approach to practice, she brought with her a sense of softening an...

Isabel Foxen Duke is a force: she gets right at what she perceives is imprisoning women in the cycle of dieting and then, inevitably, binging. She fearlessly calls out restriction as the root cause of all binging, and discusses what is rarely talked about in the conversation about women and food: the possibility that our bodies have a weight that they want to be, and that trying to manipulate that will inevitably get us into troubl...

Taina Ketola has been practicing astrology since she was twelve, and has discovered a new dimension of astrology which outlines the evolution of a soul within the arc of their current "lesson." This outlook considers and gives great insight into childhood patterns, past lives, and the unique purpose of each individual soul. 

In this podcast, Taina discusses where addictions fall on the soul's journey to fulfilling its purpose here ...
