EP 112: Facing Challenging Emotions? Use the H.A.L.T Method to Build Internal Awareness When You Find Yourself Controlling Food

Hey there sister friend! I hope your week is off to a great start! Mine? Well, let's just hope it's better than yesterday. Yesterday, my 5 year old had a full blown melt down. The type of meltdown where there is absolutely nothing you can do as a mama, but hug, count and wait for it to pass. Yep, I nearly had a meltdown trying to calm him from his own meltdown. But right in the middle of this situation I realized that his sweet little self just needed to pause and take a time out to reflect on what it is that he actually needed. He needed to HALT.  He needed  to process. He needed to feel. ~ Are you facing challenging emotions? Do those feelings cause you to turn to food or to restrict your food? Oh girl, how I can relate! ~ Disordered eating isn't about food.  Disordered eating isn't about body image. Disordered eating is an attempt to deal with emotions that manifest into idols and obsessions over time when left unprocessed. It's feelings left unfelt. It's coping gone wrong.... But there is good news! Having an unhealthy relationship with food is a learned behavior. Which means it can be unlearned when you choose to release it.  If you find yourself in meltdown mode, turning to food (or turning away from it) then Episode 112 is going to bless you so very much! On today's show, I share the H.A.L.T Method with you and how you can leverage this mindfulness technique to help you find freedom from food controlling your life.

EP 110: The 3 Step Formula to Find Confidence in WHO You Are Becoming, so That You Can Change Your Food & Body Relationship

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? This one was one for the books for me. My hubby and kids threw me the most fantastic birthday full of all the things....crabcakes, cake and confetti....oh my! But birthdays used to be the WORST days for me when I was struggling in my eating disorder. I had no desire to celebrate. I didn't like who I was. I wasn't confident in who I was.....I couldn't even remember who I was without my disorder controlling my every day. In order to get out of the trenches....I had to change.  I had to create confidence when I wasn't feeling confident AT ALL. I had to find belief and keep promises to myself. I had to find ME again.....and maybe sis that is right where you are today. ~ In Episode 110, I share with you the 3 step formula to find confidence in WHO you are becoming so that you can change your food and body relationship.

EP 109: Do You Find Yourself Pushing off Eating? Pausing Your Recovery? How Procrastination Impacts Your Freedom Journey & What You Can Do to STOP It

Hey girl! It's Thursday & do I have an amazing Podcast episode for you! This one is all about PROCRASTINATION! Are you a perfectionist? Dreamer? Blamer? Overdoer? If clouds are full of water,     they pour rain on the earth. Whether a tree falls to the south or to the north,     in the place where it falls, there it will lie.  Whoever watches the wind will not plant;     whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. ~Ecclesiastes 11:3-4 If you want change but then find yourself pushing it off & so you struggle day after day to actually move forward....oh how I see you! I remember opening up the fridge only to not know what to eat...yet, I had just left the grocery store. I remember looking at the clock, secretly wishing I could have something to eat...but in my mind, "it was too early". If either of these situations resonate with you then I encourage you to listen in to Episode 109. I discuss how procrastination is a symptom of a feeling and underlying belief & how it can be unlearned & changed. I share with you steps to take to STOP procrastinating on yourself & your freedom, so that you can find peace in your life & harmony in your mind & kitchen!
