Binge Eating Breakthrough

One month into the new year, many people are feeling discouraged. Maybe you're not where you thought you'd be. Maybe you feel like you've backslid into old patterns. 
This episode offers a completely different way to look at where you are - one rooted in both truth and compassion. You'll learn about measuring the gain instead of the gap, why you're never actually back at square one (even when it feels like it), and how to find what's different even in familiar patterns.
What You'll Discover:
• The Gap and The Gain: two completely different ways to measure progress
• Why you're never actually back to square one (even when the pattern looks identical)
• How to find what's different even when you feel like you've backslid
• Why old patterns are signals from your nervous system, not evidence of failure
 
If you're feeling discouraged about where you are right now, this episode will help you see your progress with new eyes - and understand what you actually need to move forward.

Most goal-setting advice completely ignores your nervous system - and that's why most goals fail. 
When you understand how your nervous system responds to different types of goals, you can set yourself up for sustainable success instead of constant struggle. 
This episode reveals why traditional goal-setting often backfires and offers a completely different approach that works with your body instead of against it.
What You'll Discover:
Why most goals trigger your nervous system's threat response
The difference between "away from" and "toward" goals and why it matters
How to set True Goals that work with your nervous system
Why willpower isn't the answer (and what actually creates sustainable change)
If you've ever felt like you were fighting against yourself to achieve your goals, this episode will help you understand why - and show you what to do instead.

If you've been trying to use willpower to stop binge eating and it's not working, there's a reason. Your binges aren't about discipline or control - they're about your nervous system trying to bring you back to safety. In this foundational episode, you'll learn a simple framework for understanding your nervous system and why it matters so much for your relationship with food.
What You'll Discover:
• The "Home Base" framework for understanding your nervous system states
• Why binges are actually your nervous system's attempt to regulate itself
• The cycle that keeps you stuck (and how to start breaking it)
• Simple tools for checking in with your nervous system throughout the day
If you've ever felt like you know what you "should" do but can't seem to make yourself do it, this episode will help you understand why - and what to do instead.
