My issues with food were never about food itself. I realized that after bingeing my way through nutrition school and burning myself out, working out all the time. 

I was clear: Nutrition and fitness were not going to heal the roots of my issues with food.

It doesn’t matter if you swap your cookies for carrot sticks. If you don’t get to the roots, nothing will truly change.

From 10 years of deep, dedicated research of my own, I discovered the 4 Roots Of Emotional Eating®. 

This discovery of mine is what makes our work together here at Escape From Emotional Eating different and more powerful than any other program out there. 

Together we can now take any of your emotional eating episodes and quickly identify which of the 4 Roots is causing it. Once we know what is causing it, we know how to heal it and feed your emotional needs. Ultimately this creates a faster, more peaceful path to healing for you!

There is so much more to this, so stay tuned till next week’s email, where we’ll deepen this important conversation around the 4 Roots of Emotional Eating and how they may be showing up for you in your relationship with food. 

Keep your eyes on your inbox! 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. If someone you love comes to mind who could benefit from this information, please forward this email and my information to them. Thank you for contributing to this healing ripple effect. 

Over the last few weeks, my clients have been sharing with me what their experience here at Escape From Emotional Eating has been like for them. This is how my clients are describing our work together: 

Let yourself receive the energy that is in each of these words. Each one of them holds the energy of the healing that happens in our work together. So allow yourself to receive these words, this energy, and this support.

In service to your freedom,

Most people think that emotional eating is a way to numb difficult feelings like stress, anxiety, and fear.

But one important thing I’ve learned from my own journey to heal my emotional eating and helping hundreds of other women do the same over the last 10 years is that emotional eating also numbs your power. 

One of my favorite quotes from Marianne Williamson speaks to this specifically. She said, “[Y]our deepest fear is not that [you] are inadequate. [Y]our deepest fear is that [you] are powerful beyond measure.”

This is especially true for driven women on a mission like yourself.

The truth is that deep down, at the root of your emotional eating, sits a fear of being connected to your own personal power.

This is why so many deep feelers and creative people turn to destructive habits, like emotional eating, to dull the experience of their power, rather than embracing it, channeling it, and enhancing it.

Food has become the way you numb, dilute and diffuse your power because being powerless feels familiar, “safe” even.

This is why all work we do together here at Escape From Emotional Eating involves increasing your ability to plug into, channel, and stay connected to your power rather than dulling, numbing, or disconnecting from it.

How do exactly do we do that? First, we increase your emotional fitness and stamina with the tools and processes I teach, like Digesting Emotions®.

When you increase your capacity to feel, through our work together, you’ll no longer need to run to food (or alcohol) to avoid feeling what is really happening. 

Your body will become a clean, clear vessel – a vehicle – for the Divine. You will become a force for positive change at work, at home, and in all aspects of your life. 

Because when you heal your relationship with food, you heal your relationship with yourself, and everything in your life gets better because of it.

So the next time you use food to dull or numb whatever you are feeling, remember you aren’t just numbing the dark. You are numbing your power too. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. If you feel called to stop using food to numb your feelings and your power, click here to apply for a complimentary, exploratory conversation with me, where we’ll get clear on the best next steps of your healing journey together.

I woke up with a tremendous amount of energy moving thru my body on the first day I was going to lead our Summer ESCAPE last week. 

In the past, I would have labeled it anxiety and overwhelm and sought to numb it thru food and alcohol. I can remember how the intensity of this energy would make me cranky and angry. My whole body would feel like it got hit by a bus. 

Now, from having healed my emotional eating, I have such a higher emotional literacy and resilience, thanks to the tools that I continue to use and teach my clients. So my relationship with the intensity has changed dramatically. 

Now, instead of judging it, I welcome it. That morning I told myself, “totally makes sense why you feel this way! You are about to lead a group of women from all over the world! You are going to be doing work that NO ONE has done before.” 

Big thanks to all the healing work that I’ve done, I now see this surge in energy (as uncomfortable as it can feel at times) as my body preparing me for something big. I will need this energy and this is my body responding to it. 

So I thank my body. She is working. This is a healthy response. 

Then, I make sure I am staying grounded so my body, mind, and soul can be a clean, clear vessel for the Divine and allow this energy to move THRU me. 

So, I take walks outside, ground in nature, eat grounding foods and stay away from sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. I talk to myself compassionately and confidently to soothe my nervous system. 

Above all —>  I give myself what I need to lead.

Instead of feeling stressed, anxious or angry, I was able to feel my excitement of what lies ahead, albeit the unknown. I was able to feel a deep sense of gratitude instead of feeling overwhelmed and numb. Which makes this something that would normally be full of anxiety and overwhelm, so much more FUN. 

I guess that’s why I keep doing these events. Ha!

Because I can tell you, if I hadn’t learned to manage the intensity in a healthy way, it prob would have killed me a long time ago. And in killing me, it would have killed my mission to help other women too.

In service to your freedom,

P.S. Many of my clients told me how powerful our ESCAPE experience was together and I fully credit that to not numbing, distracting, or seeking to disassociate from the intensity I was feeling throughout it. If you’d like to learn how to do this for yourself, click here and apply now. I only have 1 spot left in my calendar this month to connect with women like you who are ready to answer the call to heal your emotional eating.

I just wrapped up our Summer ESCAPE, which is a 2-day deeply transformational training with my clients where we focused on healing and strengthening their relationship with Self. 

Because overeating is a REJECTION of Self. It is a moment of self-betrayal and self-punishment. 

In order to truly heal your relationship with food, you must address the disloyalty towards yourself, which is exactly what we did together this weekend on the ESCAPE. 

Here is what a few of my clients said about their experience:

– “This has given me my power back.” – C.

– “I can see a path forward to escape from my emotional eating. All I now need to do is practice.” – M.

– “It was powerful to be in this community and do everything together.” – S.

But simply because you weren’t able to join us, doesn’t mean you have to miss out. I’ve opened 2 spots in my super squishy calendar to connect with women who feel called to heal the roots of their relationship with food and themselves so they can be free to fulfill their fullest potential and vision in life.

Do you struggle to listen to that little voice within that says, “I’m full!”?

Do your inner food demons start barking things like “just one more bite” and “but you may never have this delicious food again!”? 

You are not alone. 

The roots of your issues with food are in your mind. Not your body.

So today, I wanted to share a short clip from one of my Escape From Emotional Eating Foundational Trainings, which every one of my clients receives in our work together, so they are building a strong, healthy foundation in their relationship with food on top of our private sessions together. 

This clip is from the training that is all about activating faith to overcome your food fears.

In this short clip, you’ll discover the wires you have crossed when it comes to food and a short exercise that’ll support you in shifting out of a scarcity mindset with food.

While there is a whole lot more that goes into healing the roots of your compulsive patterns with food, this short clip is simple, basic, and something you can implement right away. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. After you listen to this clip, hit “reply” and let me know your biggest takeaway. What resonated with you? I’d love to hear from you! 

P.P.S. I’m prepping to lead a 2-day intensive with my clients where we’ll be getting to the core of emotional eating. It starts on Friday, so any emails you send my way, I’ll be sure to respond after this transformational event is over!

Growing up, I was always teased for how sensitive and emotional I was. 

     “Here comes Miss Emotional!”
     “You are SO sensitive!”
     “WHY ARE YOU CRYING?!” 

Ugh. I quickly learned that it was not safe for me to feel or express my feelings. So, I swallowed them, shoved them way down, and put food on top of them. 

Food numbed everything. Being numb felt safe. 

Until it became clear that my emotional eating was holding me back from the life I wanted to live. 

Since I was no longer willing to live out of integrity with myself, I had to heal my relationship with my emotions and learn a safe way to feel, express, and regulate my emotions. 

This is why in my Escape From Emotional Eating Programs, I work with my clients to build Emotional Resilience.

No need to stuff, swallow or put food on top of your feelings anymore.

When you learn the tools that I teach all of my clients, like Digesting Emotions® and The Fear Flush®, you’ll discover how to regulate your emotions. 

You’ll finally feel safe to feel, express, and release intense energies and emotions in a healthy, doable way. 

You’ll finally experience inner peace. 

Click here right now to apply for one of the spots in my Escape From Emotional Eating Programs so we can explore creating this together. When we connect, I’ll listen deeply to your challenges with healing your emotional eating, and we’ll explore the best next steps, so you are back in integrity with your highest, healthiest self. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. If you’ve been thinking, “Summer is really busy right now. Maybe I’ll check this out in a month or two…”

Your life will always be busy.  You know things will only get heavier, harder, and more overwhelming, so best to get better at managing it. Click here right now so you can learn tools to manage busyness, intensity and fully receive all that life has to offer. 

The decision to commit to healing my relationship with food wasn’t an easy one. I remember wrestling with so many fears like “is this even possible for me?” because I had tried so many mismatched methods and programs. 

Even though at times, I was overwhelmed with fear, there were 5 things I knew in my heart that helped me walk through my fear and make a “come-hell-or-high-water” commitment to healing my emotional eating, even when I had no idea what all the nitty-gritty details of that journey were. 

I was clear that: 

1. My emotional eating was holding me back.

As challenging as it was to admit at the time, my emotional eating was impacting every single aspect of my life from relationships to my career to my relationship with money to all levels of my health… physical, mental, and emotional.

My emotional eating was holding me back. More than anything, I wanted to be free.

2. It was taking up a tremendous amount of my time, energy, and brain space. 

All I thought about was food. Food was always on my mind. I was never fully present in my life. 

3. I wasn’t at peace with myself.

I always had this inner sense that I was meant to do more, be more, give more on this planet, and food… food was really holding me back and distracting me from fulfilling that mission and calling.

4. I didn’t want to pass it on to my children. 

I knew that if the roots of my relationship with food were not addressed, I’d unconsciously perpetuate them, passing them down to my children.

5. I didn’t want to be numb anymore.

More than anything, I didn’t want to continue to numb myself as life became more challenging and more things got put on my plate. 

I wanted to learn a better, much healthier way to be emotionally resilient and emotionally healthy, which meant that I could put food back as fuel and use it as a nourishing asset to my mind, my body, and my mission.
