It seems like it would be easy to let people love us. After all, love is what we’ve craved all our lives. But when it comes to that intimate feeling of being seen, and loved, we can get a little squeamish. And then we sabotage the relationship with nit-picking and histrionics. Do you relate? Here’s […]

I recently came across this short recording of my mentor, Roy Nelson, telling his story of being a hopeless case, and boy, he wasn’t kidding. No nonsense. Just pure truth about core beliefs we adopt from childhood, how the subconscious mind stores data we take on, and how to change, and what happens when you […]

Do you hide the “evidence” after a binge so no one will find out? Do you put on a happy face with others, never letting people know when you’re feeling down? Secrets keep us feeling isolated and alone, and they perpetuate emotional eating. If you want to experience lasting weight loss, it’s time to stop […]

CAUTION: Tough truths ahead! Yes, indeed, in this episode, I talk about one of the biggest cruxes of emotional eating and it’s underlying causes: people-pleasing. Why we do it, and how it undermines our health, our relationships and our eating. Don’t miss this honest, raw sharing of my own relapse with people-pleasing, and what it […]

When food binges get so bad that we swear off sugar and carbs “for good”, then what do we do? We want to be done, but we still feel a sense of loss and emptiness. When comfort eating has been our #1 way of coping with life, we need a new way to cope, or […]

Has middle-age left you feeling like you don’t quite know who you are, or where your place is in your life? In this episode, I have a real and raw conversation with my friend from down under – Sal Daina – about how she’s transforming herself and finding her light (the same thing she does […]

After receiving some strange criticism on Facebook, I decided to share about how I deal with being picked apart (usually from complete strangers), without letting it drive me to overeat. I’m a work in progress, and these are the steps I’ve learned to take so that no one has the power to get under my […]

Weight loss podcasts, nutrition studies, bestselling books, online courses…if you’re constantly studying nutrition, diet, metabolism, psychology of eating, etc., but you’re still not reaching your health goals, it might be time for a shift in perspective. The most frustrating thing is knowing what to do, but not being able to follow through on what you […]

Food cravings. They don’t just happen. There is a cause, and knowing where they come from and how to heal them, is a total game changer for emotional eaters. This episode is an interview I did with my mentor, Roy Nelson, over 10 years ago (before I founded Heal Your Hunger!). Roy’s words and insights […]

It can happen to anyone…you’re working hard at your job, perhaps you lack good self-care, the stress accumulates over time, and you begin to feel bad. Symptoms like migraines, gut issues, depression or anxiety can start to creep into your reality. You can’t rest. And you don’t know what’s wrong. It could be burnout. In […]

Do you feel like everyone is better than you…that you don’t measure up? Not good enough, smart enough, thin enough, talented enough? Your head is lying to you. As emotional eaters, we sell ourselves short…and our feelings of “not enoughness” drive our compulsion to eat. In this episode, I talk about what it takes to […]

Life includes death. It kinda sucks, but it’s a fact. In this episode, I talk about my grieving process, as I say goodbye to my mentor, friend, former husband and man with whom I was connected (daily) for over 35 years. We can’t overcome emotional eating and binge eating unless we have new coping tools […]

Food plans, strict rules and restrictions can be taboo for those recovering from eating disorders, and the professionals that treat them. But, eating sweets and processed carbs, foods that trigger binge-eating and constant snacking for emotional eaters don’t bode well for those who can’t practice “moderation” or manage to eat “just one” and stop. In […]

Just a few days ago this world lost an extraordinary man. My mentor, former husband and soulmate, Roy Nelson, blessed my life in ways I can’t begin to describe. For 35 years I was loved, comforted, and inspired by Roy’s incredible heart and indomitable spirit. In this episode, I share about the grief I’m currently […]

Mistakes we’ve made, hurts we’ve experienced, losses we grieve. Sometimes, our minds are like a runaway train, overthinking, rehashing and dwelling on painful memories from our lives. And too often, these painful thoughts lead us to overeat, just to quiet down our minds. In this episode, I talk about a recent attack of my brain, […]

I loved sugar. I loved sweet foods. I loved anything ooey, gooey and chewy. But they didn’t love me back. I was a sugar addict, and once I started eating the stuff, I wanted more, and I had a really hard time saying no. I didn’t have an “off” switch, so I would end up […]

Ever heard the phrase, “God works in mysterious ways”? Well, my life is full of things that happened, on account of one thing leading to another. In this episode, I share about some of those “coincidences”, and explore the hand that Spirit might have in helping us find the peace with food we seek.

Grief is a mighty emotion. It is an intruder that barges into our life when it wants, and takes its own damn time leaving. In this episode, my good friend and Heal Your Hunger coach, Kim Hamer, and I sat down and had a good talk about grief. Kim is a widow and author of […]
