Plus, teachable moments like:Â
– how to discern between cravings and compulsions.
– how to be in the midst of chaos WITHOUT using food to cope.Â
Thatâs all in the first 20 minutes! So grab your headphones and listen to this right now —ïž
Also, I really love Abbey and the work she is doing in the world. I think you will, too! Get a taste of her good vibes during this episode.

Back when I was emotionally eating, I thought pain was for numbing, hiding, deflecting, and ignoring.Â
I thought that when life got hard, it was because I had gone wrong somewhere.Â
I thought I was weak and that I was supposed to âjust suck it up.âÂ
But the more I sucked it up, the more food and wine I had to suck downâŠÂ extinguishing myself a million times a day.Â
I thought this was the only way to survive in this overwhelming world.Â
Turns out, I was wrong.Â
As I did the inner work to heal my relationship with food, I found the truth:
I was missing my own evolution because I was too afraid to surrender to the process.
Consuming – whether you choose to overdo it with food, wine, exercise, or emails – keeps you distracted, busy, and numb.Â
Busyness keeps you from transforming.
Numbness halts change.Â
This is why you feel stuck.Â
What makes my work different from all the other support out there is that we address this right from the get-go.Â
When you and I have a Discovery Session together to explore if working together is a fantastic fit, we examine your fears, your doubts, and your concerns.Â
You will hear me call them niggly-wigglies.Â
In your Discovery Session, with our powers combined, I guide you through transforming them.Â
As a result, you are no longer held back by your fear.
Instead, you have the courage to change if you choose.Â
I only have 3 SPOTS in my calendar THIS MONTH for these powerful Discovery Sessions, so click here and fill out this form to make one of these sessions yours.
In service to your freedom,
P.S. If youâre on the fence, having a Discovery Session together is a great way to get clear if working together is a fantastic fit. I only have 3 SPOTS THIS MONTH, so answer these questions as best you can right away – first come, first serve! XO
I have been helping women who strive for excellence embody their full potential by healing the roots of their emotional eating since 2011.
As I am about to enter my 13th year in business, my commitment to this mission is stronger than ever.Â
Since you are a part of my inner circle, know that everything I send, share, and teach is rooted in my core mission:Â helping you embody your full potential by healing the roots of your emotional eating.
Because I believe the most important relationship youâll ever have in your life is the one you have with yourself.Â
I believe you are the common denominator in ALL aspects of your life. I believe this is a gift, not a curse.Â
I believe that your relationship with food and your body is simply a mirror, a symptom, of that inner relationshipâŠthe relationship with yourself.Â
I believe that itâs imperative to learn how to stay connected to yourself, especially when you are seeing and experiencing things that make you uncomfortable.Â
I believe that the world is getting harder, faster, and more chaotic and that we all must learn how to get better at managing it. Â
I believe that everything is changeable – no matter how long you have been engaging in unhealthy patterns, like emotional eating.Â
I believe you are worthy of so much goodness.Â
This is my whole body prayer.Â
The WHY behind all that I do.Â
And Iâm so grateful for our connection and all that you will receive from it in the year ahead.Â
In full service and unwavering commitment to your freedom,

Hey,Â
Even though my emotional eating has been extinct for years now, and I no longer use food or wine to soothe, numb, or escape…Â
I vividly remember those years when food and a few glasses of wine were my reward at the end of a long, stressful day.
When I thought I needed it to cope or connect with othersâŠÂ
Believing that stuffing and numbing myself was the only way to survive in this overwhelming world.Â
So today, I wanted to share a few insider secrets with you that I learned from my food-healing journey!Â
Insider Secret #1:
Using food to process or avoid your feelings is not an effective strategy. Especially for those of us who feel deeply, strive for excellence, and seek to function at a higher level.
This is why in step #1 of my work with my clients, we focus on building your emotional fitness. This is where you’ll learn effective tools, like Digesting EmotionsÂź, so you can process and swim through the tsunami of emotions and intense energies rather than stuffing, numbing, or avoiding them.Â
Insider Secret #2:
Using food in an attempt to meet your emotional needs will only continue to starve your emotional body.
This is why in step #2 of my work with my clients, we start untangling your physical hunger from your emotional hunger. So not only will you hone the skill of eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are full… but you will also learn the language of your emotional body.Â
This is so you can finally know what it is that you are truly hungry for and finally fulfill your unmet emotional needs.Â
Insider Secret #3:
To keep yourself healthy, you need to learn how to tame your fear.Â
Fear, when left unmanaged, will manifest into destructive behavior like worrying, analysis paralysis, perfectionism, and diarrhea. Seriously! đ©Â
This is why Iâve recently restructured my unique Discovery Session Process! Now in this transformational discovery process together, youâll start to learn how to calm and move through your fear even before our work together officially begins.Â
I canât wait to share this with you!Â
Because fear is the biggest thing holding you back from making the changes you say you want.
But it doesnât have to stay that way, and Iâm happy to help.Â
Click here so we can explore working together, and I will teach you how to tame, transform, and release your fear along the way.Â
In service to your freedom,
P.S. Here are a few things my clients are saying about our work together:

Emotional Eating is the way women who strive for excellence deal with… Â
đđŒ pressureÂ
đđŒ perfectionismÂ
đđŒ exhaustionÂ
đđŒ overwhelm
đđŒ procrastination
đđŒ insecurityÂ
đđŒ always feeling âonâÂ
đđŒ rigid standards
đđŒ endless to-do listsÂ
đđŒ not feeling appreciatedÂ
đđŒ feeling like you never get enough done
Emotional Eating is the one pattern I see all the time that sabotages the brightest and most successful women.Â
Letâs change this together, starting right now.Â
Take a moment and tune into the list above. Which of these items are you using food to deal with?
Then, hit reply to this email and share it with me.Â

In service to your freedom,
Hey,Â
Once upon a time, many, many years agoâŠÂ
When I had finally gotten over the shock that I was an emotional eaterâŠÂ
When I learned that the compulsion I felt towards food was not in any way ânormalââŠÂ
And when I was finally ready to do the work to create a peaceful relationship with foodâŠ
I became aware that I was using food to numb a LOT of the dark feelings I felt.Â
Stress.Â
Anxiety.Â
Sadness.Â
Fear.Â
Loneliness.Â
Exhaustion.Â
A constant feeling that no matter what I did, I was never enough.Â
As I stayed committed to my freedom, continued to surrender to expert support, and did the real work, my emotional eating started to become more and more extinct. This was really exciting for me!Â
For the first time, I started to believe that true peace and freedom with food was really possible for me.
BUT – Thatâs when I had another shocking realization. And I see this for ALL the clients I work withâŠÂ
This realization was that I was ALSO using food to numb the light.Â
Iâm not just talking about the feel-good feelings likeâŠÂ
Joy.Â
Excitement.Â
Confidence.Â
Pride.Â
Connection.Â
Gratitude.Â
Yes, I was numbing those. And I see my clients do the same.Â
But what Iâm talking about here is that I was numbing MY light, my power.
Marianne Williamson said it perfectly back in 1992,Â
âOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.â
THIS, *|FNAME|*, is one of the main roots of why I would eat.Â
Because I had never been taught:Â
(1) that I had intrinsic powerÂ
(2) what that feels like in my bodyÂ
(3) how to feel SAFE with itÂ
(4) how to use it to support the highest good instead of destroying my fullest potential
When I realized this, I once again deeply committed to my next level of growth and learned what I had once not been taught.
Itâs been 8+ years since I have felt any itty bitty piece of compulsion around food. My emotional eating is fully extinct.
I hope you found this story inspiring. Iâd love to hear⊠what piece of this resonated with you?Â
In my work with my clients, we talk about experiences where theyâve felt powerless, and I support them in reclaiming that power. Itâs an important conversation that I believe more people, especially women, need to be having.Â
So Iâd love to hear from you! Hit reply to this email and let me know what resonated with you?Â
You can expect me to personally respond because thatâs who I am and how I roll. đ
Looking forward to hearing from you!Â
In service to your freedom,
P.S. If you sense a friend or loved one would resonate with my story here, PLEASE forward this email to them. As I said, this is an important conversation that more people, especially women, need to be having. đ
