10 critical pieces of information to help you reso

10 critical pieces of information to help you resolve your emotional eating, feel at ease in your body and around food (and life)👇🏽

What I’ve discovered after 10 years+ of not emotionally eating while also going through some of my hardest moments…

1.Get support form people that can truly see you and all your layers in this pattern.

2.Stop taking advice from those who haven’t accomplished what you want. Or haven’t gone through what you have. They won’t know the intimate details of “the Emotional eating” journey to guide you.

3.Find a true mentor, that can go deep with you. Thats sees you and doesn’t dismiss the “small” things. Because everything is connected.

4.Find a process that makes sense, that is grounded and rooted. That gives you the details and asks you to check in with you.

5.Don’t rely on intuition or intuitive eating when you feel lost on your journey, find a process that helps you connect back to you step by step and shows you the path.

6.Be able to move through the resistance because it will come up. Have support that can help you keep going when you feel lost.

7.Keep doing the inner work even when you stop emotionally eating. There is always more growth.

8.If it feels like you are fighting yourself you need to explore the inner war and create integration to move forward with peace.

9.The answers are always in you, but you still need to learn and experiment. Having a structure to flow from is key.

10.You are not broken, you just need a way to connect all your pieces together to get to wholeness.

These are some of the key pieces I’ve learned over the years. I wish I knew this earlier in my journey. I spent many years investing in things that didn’t get to the root. The quick tips and tactics but I needed to go deeper. That is what helped to move the needle.

P.S. If you’re ready to go deeper then join me for my last free masterclass of the year “The 3 Keys for Ambitious Women to Resolve Their Emotional Eating from the Root”. DM “masterclass” to join :)

If you’ve been in your emotional eating pattern

If you’ve been in your emotional eating pattern for years you don’t need another diet, exercise plan, or more will power.

I was chatting with some of my clients recently who are working on their emotional eating. Sometimes they feel like they were dealt a difficult hand…that it should be easier. There should be that 1 thing...

I’ve been in the same position and I shared with them that I needed to hit rock bottom because I had tried it all. But that small voice inside of me kept pulling me forward.

To get to the other side of my emotional eating I had to take small steps that felt like relief and eventually it became a process. It was never that “one thing” or magic bullet.

I discovered that we need a multifaceted approach to resolve emotional eating as there are many moving pieces. This was sobering because most shiny advertised things want you to believe there is 1 missing ingredient.

There isn’t.

There are layers. I worked on all the pieces in each layer for years, and then they wove into each other getting me to ease and confidence around food and in my body.

They were:

True Nourishment
👉🏽moving from restrictive diets to a nourishing way of eating to stop bingeing, discerning true from emotional hunger, and catching triggers

Body Acceptance
👉🏽moving from shame to accepting the rhythms and needs of the body and resolving these triggers

Emotional Wellness
👉🏽getting to the root of the emotional eating pattern in the body, processing and integrating it to create a new healthy way forward meeting your true needs

All of these layers combined became the process that resolved my emotional eating and the foundation to The Emotional Eating Evolution Program.

It’s not one magic bullet or tip that helped me or my clients. It’s a process.

Using surface solutions to help your Emotional Eat

Using surface solutions to help your Emotional Eating is like trimming your tree and expecting it to never grow the same again.

Diets, exercise plans, talk therapy can only give you temporary fixes to an issues that has deep roots.

Emotional Eating is a coping mechanism and when you use these surface solutions you are left feeling depleted, on the yo yo diet hamster wheel, spending years in therapy, will powering and seeing no real results.

I get it, I was there too. I have nothing against these methods but if you want true change you have to go deeper!

You have to start transforming the roots of this pattern which requires different tools, methods and shifts to create a new way forward.

There are 3 main areas we have to look at to find the roots…

These are the Keys to resolving this pattern. Once we resolve the roots, which creates resistance, we can create a new way forward that resolves this pattern and creates ease + confidence around food + in your body.

If you’d like to dive deeper and create true change then I’d like to invite you to my last free live masterclass “The 3 Keys for Ambitious Women to Resolve Their Emotional Eating from the Root so that they can finally feel at ease + confident around food and in their body”.

MYTH: You’re broken if you emotionally eat👇🏽

The myth of you being broken when you emotionally eat is not true. The reason is because Emotional Eating is a coping mechanism. So let’s dive in and chat about why this myth isn’t true.

A lot of women feel like they’re broken when they have this emotional eating pattern. They think something’s wrong with them, their body, and they just can’t seem to “fix” themselves.
I totally get it.

When I was emotionally eating myself, I thought something was wrong with me. Everyone seemed to have a normal relationship to food. They didn’t overeat. They seemed to not be hungry all the time.

I just thought that something was wrong with me, and I needed to fix myself. But that could be further from the truth.

You are not broken. You don’t need to “fix” yourself. You need to understand what Emotional Eating is. It’s a coping mechanism.

A coping mechanism is not something we’re born with, it’s not a deficit or means we’re broken or we don’t work.

Check out the video for more on how this develops, how its roots are not obvious and what you need to resolve it!

Why nothing has worked to help you stop emotionall

Why nothing has worked to help you stop emotionally eating…

Do any of these resonate? 👇🏽

1️⃣You’ve been sold the lie that something is wrong with you and this magic solution (diet/pill/surgery/time of eating) will fix you.

2️⃣You are taking in pieces of advice that help temporarily and using willpower but you know it’s not clicking and you are gritting your teeth.

3️⃣You are going to experts (therapists! nutritionists! trainers! insert degree here!) that have not been through this pattern and don’t get the ins and outs of it so give you generic advice. It doesn’t get to the root!

4️⃣You are doing one off modalities like nutrition, trauma work, therapy and exercise plans that are not looking at all of you and how your emotional eating triggers are interconnected. There is no process to the madness.

5️⃣You start a new program and are running on the excitement of it but run out of steam and think nothing works. You give in to self doubt because it doesn’t support you in removing resistance to moving forward.

Been there, done that.

Well most of it, but I see this with clients all the time. The old way of resolving emotional eating doesn’t work. We need something that is specific and focused and gets into the pattern on multiple levels in terms of nourishment, body acceptance and emotional wellness.

My clients have tried it all. Trying it all and it not working is actually a good thing. It means you’ve learned something more about yourself.

I was the same way. All the things not working led me to tinker - trial and error - in order to find what worked in an “aha” way.

I wanted to get to the root and just shift the pattern so that I could live the life I wanted that felt good around food, confident in my body and at peace with my emotions. A way that felt aligned, was effortless and sustainable.

My leap of faith moment that shifted my emotional

My leap of faith moment that shifted my emotional eating…

I wish I could remember the exact timeline and detail but I was on the floor. Tears streaming down my face.

I felt like a failure.

I had tried for so many years to just be good with food. To not be out of control.

And I was there again.

BUT this time it was different. I surrendered to my inability to control food and with that wanting to control my body.

Something shifted. The stormy clouds of confusion parted and a new way emerged.

It felt like relief;

I was ready to be at peace with food, to eat in a way that felt good. That moment felt so powerful that I was willing to walk through my fears...

"Will I gain weight? Maybe I’ll stay the same or lose. I really don’t know where this will take me."

It was like stepping off the edge of a cliff not knowing if a net would appear. I didn’t know what was on the other side. I didn’t have a coach or guidance…I was leading myself.

But in that moment ALL I wanted was peace. I wasn’t swinging to the other extreme either. I just wanted a healthy relationship to food, to not micro manage anymore.

This was the beginning…

And as I combined this with body acceptance and emotional wellness over the next months I started to change.

👉🏽I felt at ease around food
👉🏽at ease in my body
👉🏽confident I was on the right track
👉🏽I wanted to move my body
👉🏽I wanted to eat life giving foods
👉🏽my digestion improved
👉🏽my energy was better
👉🏽I was inspired
👉🏽my emotional eating was less and less
👉🏽and yes my body released weight it no longer needed, but that was not my goal

I realized when you shift to a healthy way of being on all levels, the physical must match.

I had no clue what "my healthy" would be but it ended up being the version I chased with restriction, punishment and avoidance.

But now my body lives there with ease and peace. And it's been over 10 years...

From my journey with all the trial and error I figured out what worked and then I created The Emotional Eating Evolution Program to guide + support other women.

How to Use Triggers to Stop Your Emotional Eating👇🏽

Triggers are important and we need to be aware of them. But I think the way we’ve been using them, they don’t help us get to the root and resolve our emotional eating. Instead, what we do is we notice our triggers and we avoid them.

Emotional Eating itself is an avoidance mechanism, and avoiding triggers are just avoiding the pattern further.

We need to go deeper, because when we can get to the root of this, we can resolve our emotional eating.

We won’t have to deal with the emotional eating pattern, and we can look at what’s coming up in our life directly and make changes from there.

Or we notice the trigger and then we go for a walk, we distract, we willpower. We’re thinking, “I’m not going to let that trigger get me!”.

So we willpower and do things, but that’s not helping our emotional eating. We might be able to extend the time between binges or willpower our way through that, but we’re not actually resolving this pattern.

We’re still in this coping mechanism, we’re just delaying the emotional eating episode.

👉🏽Check out the video for more on the 2 types of triggers and how to use them to go deeper.

Most of the women I work with have had some kind o

Most of the women I work with have had some kind of dysfunctional relationship with their mothers. I get it, I was in the same boat.

And that makes sense, food is tied to love and our mother. So using food to soothe and cope makes sense.

But it’s a substitute for that deeper needs we are unconsciously searching for that were not met by our mothers...

I like to joke resolving emotional eating is like becoming the best (healthy) parent to yourself.

We think chasing the right body, or being the “right” way will equal love.

So we desperately try all the unloving ways to get there:
👉🏽the restrictive diets
👉🏽the pills to numb out our excessive emotions
👉🏽the surgery because we are “broken”, time to be fixed
👉🏽the punishing exercise
👉🏽we mold ourselves into the version that would be liked vs. be who we really are

We desperately reach for love by doing things that are innately unloving.

Does that make sense?

We need to become what we needed, build a solid foundation and go inwards with...

✌🏽True Nourishment, by healthily connecting to food
✌🏽Body Acceptance, by honoring your body’s needs
✌🏽Emotional Wellness, by processing + integrating the emotions running the show on a somatic level

How you can move through the holidays not at the m

How you can move through the holidays not at the mercy of your emotional eating and come out of it feeling at ease?

When I was going through my emotional eating journey this time of year was difficult. There are so many events, social anxiety, tons of food, cooler weather and less sunshine.

This time of year there is a lot of stress + food to numb out on.

As an emotional eaters when you feel discomfort or uncomfortable emotions we turn to food to soothe yourself.

So, you want to move through this and get a handle on it.

When clients work with me this time of year becomes more easeful. They can eat for pleasure and enjoy the company they are with.

This is because they have strategies, boundaries, they know what to do and they have a plan to get back on track and feel good in their body (if they do get off track).

They also have compassion for themselves. This is huge.

Here are the 3 areas that are important to focus on during the holidays as an emotional eater.

1. True Nourishment
👉🏽Learn to discern true vs. emotional hunger (+triggers)
👉🏽Nourishing yourself vs. restricting which can cause binging
👉🏽Optimize digestion + mood through food strategies

2. Body Acceptance
👉🏽Rituals to mitigate stress
👉🏽eg. An amazing nighttime ritual to calm the nervous system, reduce any stimulation. This helps with deep sleep->better moods + balanced hunger.

3. Emotional Wellness
👉🏽Processing through triggers under the emotional eating on a body level to get to calm
👉🏽Honour true needs + boundaries

These 3 areas will help you move thought he holidays feeling empowered and on track.

The Emotional Eating Evolution Program which encompasses all 3 areas in a step by step methodology with lots of support in a 12 week container. If this is resonating with you I’d love to invite you to book in a complimentary Clarity Call. Link in bio or DM to explore
