Why Your Lack of Boundaries Is Making You Emotiona Why Your Lack of Boundaries Is Making You Emotionally Eat👇🏽 If you struggle with emotional eating, this might not be about food at all. It might be about your lack of boundaries. And not having them is exhausting your system more than you realize. So this isn’t about blaming you. Most ambitious women weren’t taught about boundaries and meeting their needs. So what are boundaries? Boundaries are not just simply saying no. They’re about what you allow, what you tolerate, how you respond, and how you take care of your energy from an embodied place. You might say no, but if it’s not an embodied no, it can fall flat. To see how your lack of boundaries is triggering emotional eating check out the full video. Comment or DM “boundaries” and I’ll send it over✨
Emotional eating starts because of this… Unmet ne Emotional eating starts because of this… Unmet needs. Are you not taking care of your needs - like safety needs, nourishment needs, emotional needs. Are you not prioritizing yourself? Do you people please? All of this plays into emotional eating. And this boils down to not being modelled how to take care of yourself. Your relationship to your parents/caregivers/mother was not a nourishing one. So you didn’t learn how to meet your emotioanl needs, how to nourish tyourself, or how to accept your body. Maybe instead you were criticized and told you needed to look a certain way or you felt you had to look a certain way to be accepted. All of this plays into your emotional eating. Becoming your own mother is a way to heal this pattern but it requires having the right steps - I guide clients through this in The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. To heal emotional eating you need to: -truly nourish yourself -accept your body -meet your deeper emotioanl needs When you don’t have this you create emotional eating to soothe yourself, to take the place of connection or love. But food is not meant to play that role. If you’d like to start feeling at ease around food and in your body and resolve your emotioanl eating from the root then book in a clarity call to see how I can support you. DM “clarity” to chat✨
What you need to resolve emotional eating… When I What you need to resolve emotional eating… When I was struggling with emotional eating, I tried everything I could. Of course I tried diets and restriction. But I also saw a lot of practitioners. One of them was a therapist who I shared my struggle with. I shared how out of control I felt with food, in my body. This was therapy - I was sharing it all vulnerably (mind you over almost 2 years). She would give me tips here and there and at one point handed me a diet book. Looking back - I realize she wasn’t an emotional eater, she really didn’t “get” what I was feeling. I had tried diets. So I moved to Korea thinking I would magically fix my pattern but my emotional eating intensified. I had to take things into my own hands and figure it out step by step. First step - realizing I was an emotional eating (no I wasn’t told this) and that it really wasn’t about the food, while healing my relationship to food. My lesson - be discerning. Someone who had been through the struggle and come out the other side because of experience (not following the textbook steps) has so much more insight, nuance and value to offer. If you’d like the first step in my process to resolving your emotional eating (the one that gave me my first aha) then comment “guide” and I’ll send it over.
Why Intuitive Eating Didn’t Work for Me Until I He Why Intuitive Eating Didn’t Work for Me Until I Healed Emotional Eating👇🏽 Many women move from dieting to restriction to intuitive eating, and something still feels off about it. They still experience food noise, emotional eating, confusion, and hunger - maybe even weight gain. So intuitive eating works best when you’ve healed your emotional eating. And I know that might be confusing because sometimes intuitive eating is positioned as the solution to your emotional eating. Intuitive eating promises no food rules, eating what your body wants, honouring your hunger and food neutrality. But if you have emotional eating, intuitive eating can feel really chaotic because it doesn’t help you heal your pattern and it doesn’t give you guidance. It leaves you floating in outer space without any real structure. Check out the full video to see what it takes to resolve your emotional eating. Comment or DM “intuitive” and I’ll send the full video over✨
I don’t know who needs to hear this but…surgery is I don’t know who needs to hear this but…surgery is not going to solve your emotional eating. I’ve worked with women who have had surgery among other things hoping to get their emotional eating under control. It works for a little while because they feel motivated and empowered that they did something only to start seeing their emotional eating sneak back up. Then it starts feeling defeating. And that nothing works… The thing doctors won’t tell you is if you don’t heal the root of your emotional eating, limiting the size of your stomach is not going to help long term. Your pattern is still there. Emotional eating is a coping mechanism that began way before food. Food is the tip of the iceberg, helping you cope, soothe and feel ok from a deeper issue. Being out of control is what you see, but the root cause is not food. It’s usually unresolved emotions and unmet emotional needs. If you’d like to start resolving your pattern from the root then grab my free guide. It’s the first step I give to clients to help resolve their emotional eating.

The real reason why I help women with emotional ea The real reason why I help women with emotional eating. When I healed my emotional eating, I didn’t want to help women with with same thing. Nope. I feel in love with food, nutrition and how I felt nourishing my body. I was obsessed. I went back to nutrition school thinking I would help women see the benefits of food, take beautiful food pics and help them make those changes. I didn’t want to talk about the shame I felt before...I was better now! But the women I worked with struggled with the changes I suggested and had the same issues I had when I was an emotional eater. So I started to work with them with the process I created to heal myself. But I was afraid because it meant I had to talk about my own history with food and shame because that was part of the journey to seeing all the layers of emotional eating. While we don’t lack information about food, healing this pattern requires and embodied process with deep work. I love how multilayered it is and that women come out the other side feeling the benefits, ease and peace with food and their body that I had as well.

If you’re honest with yourself your emotional eati If you’re honest with yourself your emotional eating started in childhood. It might seem like it’s happening now. But when you’re triggered into emotional eating it’s not just because of today or the events of today. It links back to what happened in the past. What you didn’t learn and what you needed from your parents and caregivers. Now food is just a bandaid to meet those emotional needs. So a diet, a new exercise plan or just talking about it is not going to help you heal the root. You need to get to the root somatically in the body to shift this pattern. When you heal it at this level you start feeling that ease and peace with food and your body you’ve been longing for. We do this inside of The Emotional Eating Evolution Program. If you’d like to start resolving your emotional eating from the root DM “clarity” to see how the program can support you✨
My coworker handed me 30 cookies and I didn’t bing My coworker handed me 30 cookies and I didn’t binge or spiral into emotional eating. Here’s how👇🏽 Years ago I worked in a hospital and my coworker baked me 30+ cookies and handed them to me. I didn’t binge on them or fall into an emotional eating spiral. I was deep in my emotional eating healing and had stopped any diets or restricting foods that would be “off limits” or bad. That meant I could have chocolate or cookies every day if I chose to. This helped to lessen my obsession with food. I also knew what felt good to my body because I was practicing nourishing it. For me that meant lots of fruits and veggies, etc. AND I was also doing the deeper work to heal my emotional eating. This meant working with my triggers and healing the root so that food was not my answer (it was a bandaid anyways). This deeper work helped me soften my attachment to food so I could have a cookie or chocolate every day and not feel like I was going to have it the WHOLE day. I was becoming more sovereign with food. I started to have that relationship to food I saw the women I admired have. 👉🏽If you’d like to feel that ease and peace around food and in your body then grab my free guide - it’s the first step I give to clients. Comment or DM “guide” and I’ll send it over✨
