Bleep Midlife Bulimia

Send us Fan Mail Such a lovely conversation with Cassie.   Being someone who deals with women with midlife bulimia she was pleased to be on the show to be able to share her story and to say "you're not alone". Cassie, herself, struggled with emotional eating, as was her family.  Even though her education, she realized she was more able to help others than herself!   This I could rel...

Send us Fan Mail I am so honoured to have had this guest on my Podcast.  Rannveig explained that it was the first time she's gone public with her history of being a bulimic.   She is fully recovered, yet says she still holds shame about having been at one time a "bulimic". To me, her ability to speak so profoundly about it brought to mind my own feelings.  I was quite open, even whe...

Send us Fan Mail Dr. Foojan Zeine shares a very interesting perspective on Bulimia and her story of how she came to create the Awareness Integration program. We discuss parental control, the difference between Anorexia and Bulimia, and some essentials on moving towards recovery. We talked about triggers.  Many bulimics feel they have food triggers, however, they are almost always associated with s...

Send us Fan Mail This is just a short episode, where I share how blessed I am.  For years I did not want to help myself.  For the past 11 years, I have.  And now I am wanting to help others.  It was a "time out for self".  It's not that I refused to help others, however, I did learn during that time how to ask for help as well.  That is not a weakness. My life took a turn this month...

Send us Fan Mail What a great conversation with Coach Jonathan!  A longer episode, and one filled with compassion, empathy, and stories. Coach Jonathan, himself, overcame binge eating (although he didn't purge, there are many similarities with bingers and binge/purgers regarding their relationship with food) Coach Jonathan shares his F.A.S.T. model.  As he states, it's not related to den...

Send us Fan Mail The "emotions" part of this podcast really hit me, because Ann spoke to getting in touch with them.  This is a difficult thing often for those struggling with bulimia.  Their world revolves more around food than their emotions because they are eating them and purging them and not even realizing it! I truly appreciate Ann's story going through her journey, her sharin...

Send us Fan Mail Mss François is incredible.  Why?  Because is honest.  And her honesty comes from her self-confidence and self-love. Mss François did go through trauma, and how she dealt with it was creating comedy, and entertainment, and sharing her story that way. I asked her to come on to this Podcast because I believe that this is something those who struggle with bulimia can relate to.  Eith...

Send us Fan Mail If you are trying to recover, it truly is important to listen.  If you have to ask the same question 5 times, you are not listening, and there could be a couple of reasons.  You are not 100% ready to recover, or the person helping you, be it a psychiatrist, therapist or coach, is NOT the right fit. Find the right fit.  If you feel they are, then you need to focus and journal and m...

Send us Fan Mail Critical committee in your mind.  Feeling bankrupt inside.  This is what Debora was feeling until she transformed. Debora did struggle with anorexia and bulimia as well. She shares her journey towards finding a way to heal.  She came from a medical family, who wanted "data".  So Debora moved forward in her education and working with clients to get that "data" o...

Send us Fan Mail What a great conversation with Mark.  I never knew much about "mania" and it was intriguing to hear his story. And it goes on to his beautiful sharing of finding his imagination when telling stories to his stories, which then propelled him into writing his book Prisoner of War, which has just been released!!  He received an insight about the title.  It's about a ver...

Send us Fan Mail Laughter Club!  Yes, a laughter club!  And Cathy loves to laugh!  Interesting conversation about laughter and how Cathy came about becoming a Laughter Yoga Instructor and Leader. Along with this, she also has a worm business, which she started in 2002 when Toronto Canada closed their landfill.  Cathy and I discussed how it is interesting that if you are crying alone people feel em...

Send us Fan Mail In this Podcast Lisa opens up to her time as a bulimic and feeling that she thought she would be stuck with it her whole life. What is inspiring is, like me, she did recover and she wrote a book about her journey to recovery. I liked that Lisa called me out on one of my opinions and shared her.  That is what Podcasts are about.  We may agree to disagree, and we may agree that we h...

Send us Fan Mail What a great pleasure to meet with Ullis  yet again!  Third time as a guest on my Podcasts and twice here and likely to be thrice! We move here to the topic of Forgiveness. This is such a difficult topic to really speak about.  Forgiveness of self, of others, is it possible? Listen to learn more.  What do you think about Forgiveness? Ullis is the Author of two books, 2:47 The Jour...

Send us Fan Mail Amy shares her story about being caregiver, about being so focused on others. She says it is difficult to take care of yourself.  After 6 weeks of a "break-down" she learned more about herself. Amy believes essential oils are definitely "essential" to people.   I agree.  She believes that there are many ways to heal that the earth has provided.  I agree.   She...

Send us Fan Mail Fun fact.  I had the "help" wrong.  It was "serve other people at all times".  However, same goes.  It is very important to serve yourself to be able to serve others. And too, when you are serving everyone else you do lose yourself. Too food is not your all.  When you are bulimic, you focus all on the food. You don't care anymore what your body is telling...

Send us Fan Mail Absolutely the best way to start a day.  Emma Stroud, a comedy performer, speaker, MC, speaker mentor, coach and clown. Clown?  I asked her about this and she so eloquently described the meaning of a clown. Brought me back to the days when I tried to be a class clown and ended up with detentions.  So I stopped.  I will say I really enjoyed it though. Emma didn't stop.  She ha...

Send us Fan Mail What a beautiful lady.  I loved that Karina opened up about her own struggles with limiting beliefs, her admission of moving from a "party world" to holistic, and I believe one of the biggest take away was her speaking to sometimes we feel ill, and it being the body manifesting a "purging" of emotions naturally.  However, in the bulimia world, this is not to be...

Send us Fan Mail What a great pleasure to meet with Ullis again.  Ullis was a guest on the other Podcast I co-host with Roy Miller.  I was intrigued by many things that Ullis spoke to regarding her books, and her views on energy, healing and the mind and the body connection. There is so much to learn here. I did invite her on this Podcast because while we were conversing previously she mentioned, ...

Send us Fan Mail Carenda is spirited and energetic.  She truly shines when she speaks about her passion for helping others to become accountable.  What intrigued me to have her as a guest what when I read her profile and saw these words: "I stopped pointing the finger outward and instead inward in order to confront my own imperfections, lack of self-love and trust." So many bulimics stru...

Send us Fan Mail Betrayal.  There are many people who have experienced this.  What many of us don't know is that there are stages we go through. I remember having the link to Dr. Debi Silber's TEDx talk in January of 2019 sent to me from a friend who knew what I had experienced.  It was life changing.  Although I was near the end of my stages, it transformed my thoughts to help me get to...

Send us Fan Mail What a wonderful guest to have for this Podcast.  Tricia is so dynamic and her own story of being 50 pounds overweight and struggling with diets and losing weight to finding the joy of "stability" of weight and ease and comfort with food is inspiring. More inspiring is that she now helps others to achieve these goals through her programs and her book.  You will learn a l...

Send us Fan Mail Lois and I had a great time discussing Shame and Guilt.  Lois spoke to her near death experience in her 50's and how it led her to become a "teacher" in the area of shame and guilt, which had help her in her own life to find  peace and health. Lois' film "Out Of Discord Into Harmony" is about learning about the different part in you that lead to shame...

Send us Fan Mail It's pretty simple.  You can't find a solution to your teeth being hurt by stomach acid, or having esophagitis due to bulimia, or, or, or.  When I was bulimic I would have loved to find those things that could stop my rapid heart beating, my snow blind, my teeth rotting, my grinding.  Truth is?  Recovery is the only solution.  And the sooner you recover, then you will th...

Send us Fan Mail What a pleasure to meet Cristina Castagnini.  I was really taken by the story she shares about starting off not wanting to bring "her own stuff" into the room.  She has a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. During her experience of asking questions as a Marriage and Family Therapist, there was a lot that she could relate to with the answers about body im...

Send us Fan Mail Simply put, it made me HAPPY to have Monique as a guest.  Why?  Because I believe that when you surround yourself with people who can explain why they are happy, it motivates you. I am, as I said, 70% happy, however I struggle at times with anxiety that blurrs my happiness. Monique inspires me in thinking that, yes, happiness can become a habit!  Just think about your world around...
