You’ve probably heard “feel your feelings” from all the social media therapists out there. But has anyone ever explained the deeperwhy? Or that there exists a hidden language behind your feelings? 

Allow me to fill in some of the missing pieces for you! 

Let’s take the whole “feel your feelings” and “your feelings are valuable” conversation to an Advanced Level in this video ⤵️

When you become fluent in the hidden language of your feelings*, your self-care will reach a whole, new higher level.  Which in turn, will help you perform at a higher level. 

So watch this now (it’s only 4 quick minutes 😁).

In service to your freedom,

P.S. *Important Note: Becoming fluent in the hidden language of your feelings is a step we take together in all of the Escape From Emotional Eating Programs. It’s not enough to simply name WHAT you are feeling. As a woman who strives for excellence, it’s essential for you to become fluent in the language so you can hone the skills to fulfill your emotional needs. To discover if working together would be a fantastic fit, click here to apply so we can explore this and more!

Escape From Emotional Eating is not about stopping something.

It’s about beginning a particular way of life. 

A way of life that’s about integrity, ensuring your inner and outer selves are integrated and indivisible. 

It is about becoming your true, WHOLE self.

Give yourself permission to explore what this looks like for yourself by clicking here and sharing a few important details with me, so we can explore if working together would be a fantastic fit. 

In service to your freedom,

Did you know that truly healing your relationship with food/body, like we do in our work together at Escape From Emotional Eating, also heals your relationship with money? 

Seems wild, right?… but I’ve seen it SO many times with my clients. 

And even personally experienced it… 

• Like how learning to feel and honor my body’s language of hunger and satiation transferred to making financial decisions and choices from intrinsic integrity. 
  
• And how no longer overeating and overbuying food “just in case I get hungry later” would transfer over to create access to my own creative power, resourcefulness, and trust when it comes to finances. 
  
• And how learning to face my feelings, instead of stuffing them, transferred over to having the courage to face my bank accounts consistently and have courageous conversations about it too… to where now managing money is something that is SO fun for me. 

And so much more. 

What you need to know is that here at Escape From Emotional Eating, when we heal your relationship with food – EVERYTHING gets better. 

EVERYTHING gets healthier.

This won’t happen if you’re trying quick fixes like diets or surface approaches like exercising more. 

But in our work together, you evolve into a truer, more whole, more beautiful version of yourself. 

That’s how this work works.

While I usually keep my weekly emails focused on supporting you on your journey to heal your relationship with food/body, today, I feel called to share a more personal update. 

My clients always tell me how much they love hearing about my personal experience because of the insights they receive for themselves, so my hope is you do too. 

So here is a peek into what I’m personally celebrating, committed to, and what’s feeding my soul: 

What I’m celebrating:

Escape From Emotional Eating is 12 years old!

Ok, while this celebration could be categorized as more professional than personal, I am specifically celebrating and digesting what it took personally to achieve such a momentous milestone. 

I am grateful for the unexpected ways this work has been a catalyst for me to become a truer, more whole version of myself again and again.

What I’m committed to:

Overcoming mental struggles that hold me back from peak well-being and performance.

A few months ago, I personally started working with a high-performance mindset coach who works specifically with ballet dancers. As someone who loves ballet just as a hobby, it was (and continues to be) a fascinating learning experience to overcome a new level of my inner demons and embody a whole new level of high-functioning. The benefits of my willingness to do this work extend way beyond ballet and impact all aspects of my life. 

I have so much to share with you about what I’m learning and experiencing, especially because there are SO many connections to our work together – until then, know this: 

Yes, your life is good. Yes, maybe it’s even better than some. But don’t let comparison to what everyone else is doing (or not doing) deflate your hutzpah to embrace the next level of your evolution. 

What is feeding my soul:

Prioritizing what my body needs and wants.

As the seasons change, so do the needs of my body and, as a result, my routines. This season I find my body waking me up early and wanting to connect with myself and with nature.  So most mornings, I’ll pop on a sweatshirt (I love that it’s chilly in the mornings before the heat of the day rises), make a cup of tea, and sit in my itty-bitty backyard garden. Even if it’s for a few moments. 

I take this time to check in with myself, my feelings, and my needs… before anything or anyone else. Then, I listen to the birds (they are so chatty!) and say hello to the flowers in my garden. It feels so simple it’s silly, yet the impact on my mind and body is profound. I want to continue to go inward first before I reach outward – like for my phone, email, or work. 

——   

I hope sharing these personal pieces inspires you to celebrate, acknowledge, and nourish yourself today. 

Because when you take a moment to acknowledge or appreciate yourself, you are practicing the act of self-love. And that love gets amplified when you share those acknowledgments, and they are witnessed by others (which I modeled for you here today!). 

In service to your freedom (and self-love), 

I recently had a podcast conversation that was chock full of golden nuggets, and I want to share it with you to support you on your journey to having a healthy food-body relationship.

Hey, 

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if YOU when through one of the Escape From Emotional Eating Programs? How would your relationship with yourself – mind, body, and soul transform? What would your before and after really look like? 

Based on what I’ve seen and experienced, let me paint the picture for you ☺️

BEFORE our work together…

You are entangled in self-destructive patterns such as overeating, overworking, over-drinking, and/or over-responsibility. 

These patterns put a buffer between yourself, your awarenesses, and your feelings…

Which puts you out of touch with what you truly know and feel.  

You’re disconnected from your intuition and inner guidance…

Trapped in a perpetual cycle of differing your needs, hopes, and dreams. 

You might not realize it (yet), but you’ve been living from internalized beliefs that you aren’t worthy enough, smart enough, or good enough.

Then in some cosmic way, our paths cross. ✨⚡️✨

We connect, and we start working together. 👯

With our powers combined, you get back in touch with yourself, the roots of your self-destructive patterns heal, and you start embodying your full potential. 💖

✨And things continue to get better and better from there!

You are free from those old self-destructive patterns of overeating, overworking, over-drinking, and over-responsibility. 

You are no longer exhausted and numb – instead, you’re fully alive! 

You feel confident in processing difficult feelings, energies, and experiences. And do so effectively and efficiently!

You know how you feel.

You know what you need.

Your intuition and inner guidance are your trustworthy GPS.

You know and own that you are the creatrix of your needs, hopes, and desires…

And are passionate, driven, and fulfilled. 

You are deeply rooted in your own self-love (“I am enough”), self-worth (“I am valuable”), and self-confidence (“I can handle it”). 

Now, I invite you to really imagine this for yourself. 

If any part of what I’ve mapped out here is something you desire for yourself, then I invite you to take the next baby step to create this vision: click here and submit your application so we can explore if working together would be a fantastic fit. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. For your inner skeptic ☺️  who might be thinking, “Bahaha! Yeah, right. This vision is too good to be true.”

Know that what I’ve mapped out for you, the snapshots of before and after, were created from 11+ years of experience. I’ve seen this transformation happen again and again for my clients with my very own eyes. On top of my professional experience and expertise, I personally have walked this journey and continue to live the embodiment of this vision. 

So click here now so we can explore this for you too. 💖

Believe it or not, your relationship with food and your body is intricately connected to your mother.

Regardless of what your relationship with her is like today (even if she isn’t with us currently on this earth in the physical form), the link between you, your mother, and food is undeniable and deeply rooted. 

Your mother was your first source of food (even before you were born!). 

At one point, you relied on your mother. In the same way, children need and rely on adults today. 

She was also a major player in programming your relationship with your emotional needs – like protection, comfort, love, and connection. 

Research tells us that a mother’s love-or-hate relationship with her belly, thighs, and body gets passed on, directly impacting their child’s relationship with their body.  

If left unhealed, unhealthy patterns can be passed down for many, many generations. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way. 

Perpetuating an unhealthy relationship with food/body can stop. It needs to stop. 

It stops with you.

In the work that I do with my clients in the Escape From Emotional Eating Programs, we do exactly that. 

We work together to heal your relationship with food – all the way to the roots. 

We nourish your unmet emotional needs and liberate you from old toxic food/body beliefs. 

It’s a process of untangling and cutting cords with patterns and behaviors that no longer support you, so you can begin living in integrity with yourself – your values, your dreams, your desires. 

Because in order to fully break free from your struggles with food so you can be a whole and empowered woman, you must address the roots of your dysfunctional relationship with food and your body.

If the roots of your relationship with food (and the hidden entanglement of food/body programming you received from your mother) are not addressed, you’ll unconsciously perpetuate them, passing them down to your children by default.

Again, it doesn’t have to be this way. But you have to do something about it.

So, click here right now so we can explore if working together would be a fantastic fit. 

Because stopping this unhealthy cycle starts with you. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. If you’re thinking, “But I’ve already done so much work around healing my inner child and my relationship with my mother.“…

From my experience of spending 932 hours in therapy, I can tell you that general therapy leaves a big missing piece in all of this – the link to food. If the direct connection between mothers, daughters, and food is not addressed head-on, as we do in the Escape From Emotional Eating Programs, the dysfunctions and dis-ease will persist. 

Click here right now and apply so we can connect and make sure the roots of your relationship with food are fully healed.

P.P.S. If you’re thinking, “I had a wonderful childhood and have a great relationship with my mother.” OR “My mother was not a part of my life.”

EITHER WAY: the intricate link between mothers, bodies, and food tends to be one of the biggest blind spots I’ve seen from my decade+ of research into the Psychology of Eating. It’s there regardless of how she did or didn’t show up. There is so much to explore here, so click here to get help with your blind spots.
