Hungry for Love: Lose Weight After Toxic Relationships

Are you ready to end emotional eating, lose excess weight, and attract your dream partner—in a FUN, simple, and effective way? If you’ve ever found yourself stress-eating in the dark, when no one’s looking… or stuck in a toxic relationship that leaves you feeling like you’re “not enough,” you’re not alone. While these struggles may seem unrelated, they’re actually two sides of the same coin—both r...

The Body You Crave Podcast is getting a makeover and an all new podcast is coming your way starting next week!  Keep listening to this week's episode as I share more details of what's to come!  It's about to get so good it doesn't make sense.       

We've been trained by most diets to make these big sweeping changes and that it's better to lose as much weight as fast as possible.  And for a time, maybe that even worked for you.  But now it's harder to get back on track, it's harder to stay on track longer, and it's easier (i.e. safer for your brain) to keep doing the status quo.  This is why I tell clients to meet themselves where they're at...

Change happens when you tell yourself the truth.  The "problem" is that we have to face certain emotions (often negative ones) when we stop lying to ourselves.  Tune in to today's episode for a pep-talk about radical honesty with yourself, identifying your truest desires, and the magic of saying yes to yourself.  It's time to heal your binge eating and step into that bigger, bolder life you want. ...

It's normal to freak out when the scale doesn't meet your expectations one week or one month.   But how you handle the freak out is important!  Keep listening for the three step process I use when the scale is up, or not meeting my expectations, and how you can use it, too.  It's time to end the war with food and feel amazing in your body.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/s...

Doubt often creeps in when what we want “doesn’t make sense.” We all have fear and doubt within us.  Just like we all have confidence, love, and self trust within us.  The key is to learn how to take action from a place of confidence or commitment, WITHOUT feeling like you have to get rid of the fear and doubt first.  Easier said than done, of course, but that's exactly where I come in. I'll help...

This year I'm starting a new tradition with clients and myself.  A 90 Day Challenge designed to help you build consistency, break the "start stop cycle of doom," and get right back on track when you fall off.  No more 'all or nothing' perfectionist thinking.  No more "screw it, I already ruined the day... I'll start over next week."  No more starting over at "day 1" feeling like all your hard work...

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to those friends celebrating this week!  My intention for this week was actually a completely different episode, but this is what came out...  A little behind-the-scenes of my life recently, the waves of emotion that continue to come (and continue to not be a problem), and how I'm going into my first Christmas without my son at a solo mountain retreat.  It's ok i...

Believing you can do something you’ve never done is the #1 skill you need to achieve ANY goal.  This is also the HARDEST PART - to believe first before you have “evidence.”  Your brain is trying desperately to keep you safe = avoiding the pain of negative emotions.  Things like: disappointment, regret, rejection, fear, etc.  I’ll help you grow your belief in yourself and belief that it’s inevitabl...

It's hard to fully express how amazing life is now that there's no mind drama around food and exercise!  Not only have I completely STOPPED BINGEING, but I've also...  Created so much peace and freedom with food.  Become so aware of my body's true hunger cues.  Learned to say 'no' to food / alcohol from a place of self love (not punishment). Stopped trying to starve myself or eat as little as huma...

Earlier this year I realized I haven't binged in over 5 years now!  It's something I never really stopped to think about, but is so HUGE because of where I was for so long.  This first episode of the series walks you through what life looked like during my 12 years of binging, because the habit has evolved over time.  And next week I'll share what life looks like NOW - where there's so much peace...

Food is often a key part of holiday celebrations, and other people have desires and expectations about what or how much you "should" be eating.  Some people are food offerers - they simply want to make sure you're happy and enjoying yourself.  Then you have food pushers - these people tend to push food / drinks on you and there's a lot of pressure to eat and typically a lot of guilt (or other nega...

One of the biggest challenges with the diet industry is that they only teach you how to lose weight in a vacuum.  Don't go out to eat, no travel, no vacations, no holidays or special occasions.  It's this constant push to restrict.  But in the process of trying to make it easier to restrict, you stop living life.  So when the holidays roll around, and you don't want to miss out on all the good tim...

Grief isn't just the loss of life, it's the loss of a dynamic, which is why it's essential to learn how to process through grief when going through a divorce or breakup.  Join me for this third and final installment of our grief series to learn better ways of navigating grief in divorce and breakups.  If you'd like to have me as your personal coach to help navigate difficult seasons like this, the...

In this second episode on the topic of moving through grief and loss, I'm talking specifically about the loss of life and grieving someone who's died.  There's no right or wrong way to process through grief and all the subsequent emotions, but the #1 most important step is to allow yourself to feel it all. All the emotions, as long as it takes.  Don't fight it, don't resist it.  And I'm walking yo...

I’m sure most of us have heard of the 5 stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) But that doesn't do the topic justice. You might experience these emotions as you process through grief; however, I want to emphasize that it’s NOT a linear path.  I think of grief as waves of the ocean, which encompass more like a dozen emotions at once.  And nothing has gone wrong.  Whethe...

Often we look for quick results (i.e. instant gratification) to “prove” what we’re going is working and to give our brains evidence to keep believing (and thus keep working towards) that goal.  But this is where we get it backwards.  We say things like "I'll believe it when I see it,"  But there has to be a foundational level of belief BEFORE you achieve something new.  And this is often where we...

Have you ever thought to yourself: "I know what to do ... I'm just not doing it."  Don't worry - me too.  This is a problem as old as dirt, but it holds the key to creating the long-term, sustainable results you truly crave.  You have to get to the root of the issue though.  You're not lazy, you don't lack enough information, there's nothing flawed about you - you simply have a human brain that's...

Part of our human nature when we set a goal is to "hurry up and get there."  While there's nothing wrong with taking quick, decisive action, we also have to recognize the seasons of life when we need to slow down. On purpose.  This doesn't mean we aren't still moving toward our goal; it simply means we're giving our brain, body, and nervous system time to reset.  Part of the challenge is trusting...

Most people will have the best of intentions when trying to give you advice to solve your binge eating habit... but it's not always helpful.  Binge eating is NOT a food problem, so it can't be a food solution.  Binge eating is an under-feeling problem (an emotional problem), so the solution has to be emotionally based.  Just taking away the food or changing the food isn't going to sovle this habit...

Even though it feels uncomfortable, our brains really like to indulge in confusion, because this is one of the ways your brain keeps you "safe."  Safe = not experiencing negative emotions.  The problem is that you only end up lying to yourself, which will always prevent you from moving forward or achieving your goal.  Join me for today's episode where we dive deeper into how this shows up in vario...

We don’t always need a “grand plan” to achieve new goals or change habits…  Sometimes we simply need to do the opposite of what we’ve been doing.  Simple, but doesn’t always feel ‘easy’ in the moment - and that’s ok.  I’ll walk you through examples of how to start doing the opposite in any area of life and in a way that feels doable.    When you’re ready to take charge of your life and create the...

1 year can feel like such a LONG amount of time...  And yet when we look backwards, it seems to go by in the blink of an eye.  Join me for this special Birthday edition of the podcast as I reflect back on lessons learned over the last year, plus redefined how I want to improve this next year.  Ready to create a life so good it blows your mind?  I can help.  Let's spend the next 6-months together m...

Have you ever heard the verse "pride comes before the fall?"  So many of us are afraid of being proud of ourselves, our accomplishments, and the work we put in to achieving goals.  The problem, is that this is often what holds us back.  When you give yourself permission to tap into deep pride and satisfaction with yourself, you will succeed faster.  If you're looking for a weight loss "hack" try t...

Not only do we struggle with resisting negative emotions, but we often also struggle with the whole process and knowing you're buffering, emotionally eating, binge eating, etc.  The key here is two fold:  1. Don't give up on yourself.  2. The obstacle in the way. The path forward to solving your eating habits is to drop resistance when it shows up. This is how you'll actually be able to learn from...
