What if the food noise in your head could finally quiet down? What if food wasn’t a source of guilt, shame, or control? What if peace with your body wasn’t just an idea, but your lived experience? In this powerful and emotional episode, I am joined with Jamie, a founding member of One Body to Love, whose story is a powerful reminder that healing from binge eating is not only possible, it's deeply personal.

Before joining the program, Jamie was overwhelmed with body grief, emotional eating, and the emotional aftermath of chronic illness. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it felt like to be stuck and how Jamie’s relationship with food, body, and self has transformed. This is a story about choice, compassion, and creating peace from the inside out.

In this episode, you will hear:

• 03:06 - The chronic illness that turned her life upside down and how it led to emotional eating as her only coping tool.
• 06:05 - Jamie opens up about grieving her old body, old life, and the role diet culture played.
• 11:33 - The quiet, everyday patterns of binge eating that started to feel unbearable and made her realize something had to change.
• 19:29 – Why being seen, heard, and understood mattered more than the food and how One Body to Love became the first space where Jamie felt truly safe to heal.
• 33:40 - How healing her relationship with food revealed a deeper truth.
• 43:08 - From “diet food” to intuitive choices: how food feels different now.
• 50:21 – How radical honesty was the beginning of everything and Jamie's final thoughts on her journey.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever whispered, “I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this” It’s about the power of choosing yourself, reconnecting with your body, rewriting your story, and realizing that healing doesn’t mean fixing what’s broken. It means learning how to listen, how to feel safe again, and how to come home to yourself.

If you saw yourself in Jamie’s story, please know, that’s not where your story has to end. I’d love to hear what stood out to you. Message me on Instagram, and if you’re ready to move from feeling stuck to feeling supported, from food chaos to self-trust, One Body to Love is here for you. We do this work together, step by step, with support every single week. Until next time, be gentle with yourself.

Sometimes the patterns we most want to change are the ones that have kept us afloat. In today’s episode on One Body to Love, I open up about the role binge eating has played in my own life, and how it often serves as a coping strategy when everything else feels like too much. We explore what it looks like to move from control and chaos into safety and softness with food, and why fear doesn’t mean you're not ready, it means this matters to you. If you’ve been spiraling at night, trying to be "good" during the day, or scared of what happens if you stop controlling food, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you will hear:
• 02:41 - How food becomes a release valve when we’re holding everything else together.
• 04:09 - My personal story: restriction, nighttime spirals, and starting over.
• 06:36 - Challenging the cultural script that tells us to shrink.• 08:56 - Learning to respond to your body instead of managing it.
• 09:52 - A closer look at the One Body to Love program: Coaching, journaling, workshops and a supportive community.
• 12:16 - How to register, and what’s coming next on the show.

If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting over, feeling like food is either all or nothing, or carrying the weight of shame alone - the One Body to Love program was created to offer you support, structure, and a safe space to heal. If you want more details or you’re curious whether this is the right next step for you, comment “LOVE” on any of my Instagram posts and I’ll send you everything you need to know. If you've been waiting for the sign, this is it.

Don’t forget, Jamie’s story is coming later this week, and her journey from binging in secret to trusting herself again might be exactly what your heart needs to hear. Until next time, be so gentle with yourself. You deserve a life that feels peaceful around food, grounded in your body, and rooted in self-trust.
