My answer to this common question

November 14, 2017

Hey,

Here’s a question you’ve probably asked yourself at some point: “Doesn’t everyone emotionally eat?”

I was shopping for a gift for Zach at Lululemon when the woman helping me launched into this question and I feel intuitively called to share my response with you.

Eating a big bowl of chocolate ice cream after you had a stressful day of work, got into a fight with your sister, or broke up with your boyfriend of 7 years is common.

But is in NO WAY normal.

Bottom line: Emotional eating is common. But it’s not normal. 

It is not normal to eat so much you feel sick.

It is not normal to walk around feeling bloated and jiggly all the time.

It is not normal to think about food all the time.

Feeling sick, bloated, and constantly thinking about food is NOT how your body was designed.

These symptoms are signals.

Signals to wake up.

Most of all, they’re an invitation to shift your relationship with food to one where you are able to enjoy a beautiful dinner out with friends, confidently stop eating when you’re satiated and wake up the next morning feeling clear in your mind, light in your body and free from any inklings of guilt.

Whether you accept the invitation to honor your body is your choice.

What do you choose?

You only have one body.

One precious life.

Make it count. 

PS. Want real transformation where you are no longer thinking about food ALL. THE. TIME.? Yes! Just fill out this form and a member of my team will get you all set up to have a private conversation with me to see if the deep, life-changing work we do makes sense for you.

This happens every time. [Special invite for you!]

Have you noticed that every time you are given the opportunity to heal your emotional eating, it summons from your life’s jungles the scariest tigers and the grizzliest bears?

Just a few weeks ago, one of my Healing Your Relationship With Food workshop attendees was telling me about her exact experience with this.

She said, “Before I came here, I went through the McDonald’s drive-thru and got a large order of french fries. I ate them in my car right before I came in because I was so scared you were going to tell me that I could never eat french fries again!”

To which you may be thinking, “I’m sure as heck never coming to one of your workshops if it’s going to trigger more emotional eating!”

☺ Take a deep breath in. And now let it out. ☺

As your mentor, staying home is not the answer.

You will be challenged with your food compulsions whether you decide to stay home or you decide to attend.

What I can tell you from my own personal journey in healing my relationship with food and helping others do the same for the last 7+ years is that by attending the workshop you’ll have a greater chance of healing. PLUS! You won’t have to slay your tigers and bears alone because we’ll be doing it together!

Women tell me all the time how just the first thoughtful exercise we do together at my workshops already had them seeing food as fuel.

And those who continue our work together, experience even more relief from their fraught relationship with food.

 

So here is your invitation… You have two opportunities coming up to heal your relationship with food:

Saturday, Oct 21 @ 3:30pm 
Yoga Tree
1281 RT 113
Blooming Glen, PA 18911
Sign Up Now!

 

Thursday, Oct 26 @ 7pm

Sign Up Now!

When the scary tigers, like scheduling conflicts, and grizzly bears, like cravings for french fries, come up, all you need to do, is show up. Simply show up in spite of your fears and I’ll take care of the rest.

I’ve got you. 

With love,

Just letting you know

September 19, 2017

HI! Sending you love and just letting you know that I’ll be taking a break from our weekly love letters (aka newsletters) for the next few months.

While I’ve been diligently ensuring these are in your inbox on Tuesdays by 6 am for the past SIX years, it’s time for us to make a shift.

With the new creations I’m pouring my heart and soul into and preparations for the upcoming Escape, I need to create the space to give each of these the energy and space they’ve been calling for.

Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere!

and 

“I can finally see the root of my emotional eating and have a path to heal it that actually works!”

Simply the act of reserving your spot starts your healing journey. It invites the Universe to have your back. But you have to take the first step and reserve your spot first.

Let me know if there’s anything else you may need here.

Can’t wait to see you!

With all my heart,

Why wait?

August 8, 2017

Why wait to heal your emotional eating?

The moment your eyes are open, seize the day.

Would you hold back when the Universe beckons?

Would you deliver your litany of reasons why you can’t succeed, like a child’s collection of seashells, prized and labeled?

“No, I can’t step across the threshold,” you say with shame.

“I’m not worthy. I’m afraid, and I feel superficial wanting to lose the weight. I’m not perfect and surely I haven’t succeeded in the past. My meditation isn’t deep and my prayers are sometimes insincere. I chew my fingernails and the refrigerator isn’t clean. I still overeat even though I know so much about food. I fear what will happen when I really am free. Who will I be?”

Do you value your reasons for staying small more than the light shining through the open door?

Forgive yourself.

Now is the only time you have to be whole.

Now is the sole moment that exists to live in the light of your freedom from food.

Perfection is not a prerequisite for anything but pain.

Don’t continue to believe in your fear. 

This is the day of your healing.

With love,

PS. The above was adapted from a reading I heard in my yoga class last week. It pierced my heart. I’ve read it every day since as my hope and shining light. My intention is that you receive some relief from it too. xo

HI,

Dr. Deepak Chopra tells a powerful story in his book, Quantum Healing, that I want to share with you:

“An Ohio University study of heart disease was conducted by feeding quite toxic, high-cholesterol diets to rabbits in order to block their arteries, duplicating the effect that such a diet has on human arteries.

Consistent results began to appear in all the rabbit groups except for one, which strangely displayed 60% fewer symptoms. Nothing in the rabbits’ physiology could account for their high tolerance to the diet, until it was discovered by accident that the student who was in charge of feeding these particular rabbits liked to cuddle and pet them. 

He would hold each rabbit lovingly for a few minutes before feeding it; astonishingly, this alone seemed to enable the animals to overcome the toxic diet.”

Repeat experiments, in which one group of rabbits was treated neutrally while the others were loved, came up with similar results.”

Additionally, studies have shown that cancer patients who attend support groups live an average of twice as long after diagnosis as those who don’t.

What is this secret weapon that can penetrate even the darkest, most toxic experiences? 

It is love. 

You may even call it God.

It is only when LOVE is channeled through human beings like the student loving the rabbits, or support groups like our Escape From Emotional Eating Retreats, where space is created for increased compassion, understanding and transformation, that love can penetrate the toxic darkness.

I have seen this happen year after year in the women who attend our retreats, called The ESCAPE. 

Women who swore that they’d always need to lock up naughty foods are suddenly able to eat one of something – one bowl, one piece, one bite. Women who have never been able to lose weight suddenly find their clothes too baggy, their waistbands too loose.

Even those who have worked through their painful eating and lost weight, are still coming year after year. They call it coming home.

I share this with you, because your freedom from emotional eating doesn’t sit at the end of a grueling diet or a juice cleanse.

It sits in an intimate group of women, in a sea-side hotel in Cape May, NJ on a retreat called The Escape.

It’s time to approach emotional eating differently.

If you’re interested in learning more about our powerful, compassionate and transformational retreats called The Escape, I’d be happy to connect with you to explore more.
Submit your application now so we can start the discovery process.

These retreats are so powerful I’ve opened up 1 more spot. Is it yours?

Sending you love every minute of every day,

I have to tell you something and it feels scary

July 11, 2017

Hi,

Pretend it’s just you and me, sitting in my kitchen sharing a cup of tea. I take a deep breath because what I’m about to share with you feels so vulnerable. Then I courageously confess…

I’ve secretly battled with adult cystic acne for years…the kind where it feels like volcanos are violently erupting underneath your skin.  There were some days I was in so much pain that, I swear, it felt like I was growing a third arm out of my chin.

I wanted to crawl out of my own skin. 

I desperately sought out surface approaches for relief: getting facials regularly and buying hundreds of dollars’ worth of new face products.

But nothing was making a difference.

My acne was painful and getting worse.

At my wit’s end, I turned to the same tools that I teach my clients.

As I poured my feelings on the pages of my journal, I realized, just like with emotional eating, that my acne was simply a symptom of a deeper problem.

What we see on the physical level, like acne or excess weight, is a mirror for what is going on in our internal world.

Willing to look within, I saw layers of anger, rage and extreme self-loathing that I had stuffed down, suppressed. Now it was painfully erupting out of every pore in my face.  

I committed myself to an “emotional detox” using the same powerful process that healed my emotional eating called Digesting EmotionsTM  to help me easily and peacefully release the thoughts and feelings that were no longer serving me.

Two weeks later my skin was completely clear!

I’m still shocked that the very same way I healed my emotional eating helped me clear my skin. But it also makes sense because our bodies are merely a screen onto which we project the nature of our thoughts.

Digesting EmotionsTM helped me surrender psychological sludge and remove emotional sewage. The healing of my skin was simply a reflection of that removal.

Now it’s your turn… are you secretly using food to escape the feelings you don’t want to feel? 

Then I invite you to apply for an Escape From Emotional EatingTM Discovery Session and receive this powerful and deeply transformational support around your relationship with food.

This is complimentary, my gift to you.

Click here to apply for a session right now.

See you on the other side!

With all my heart,

My emotions were dangerous

June 27, 2017

Hi,

At a very young age, I learned my emotions were dangerous. Whenever I showed any signs of emotion, I was often attacked, ridiculed and laughed at…people would stare, eyes would roll, and they’d scream, “why are you crying?!!”

As a smart little girl, I suppressed my feelings, burying them deep inside my body, hiding them from everyone including myself. Then I’d eat. 

Food was an easy escape – from myself, from my dangerous feelings, and from this overwhelming world.

As I got older, my dependence on food to ease the burden I felt got bigger. Until I gained 40 pounds in just a few months.

I hit my rock bottom. I had numbed myself so much that I felt like a shell of a human being, completely dead inside.

When I discovered that I had to face and feel my feelings to escape my emotional eating, it felt so overwhelming and impossible… even dangerous! It sounds silly, but I really felt that if I opened my Pandora’s box of emotions, I would NOT make it out alive.

So I created a process called Digesting EmotionsTM as a way to help me process and release my feelings rather than numbing them with food. Now it’s what I teach my clients.

When I used this powerful process and tool, I was shocked at how instantly I went from feeling scattered, foggy and anxious to calm, clear and grounded. My emotions no longer felt like a dangerous threat to me. Instead they became my teacher, each holding a pearl of wisdom for my growth and healing.

From there, food naturally shifted to become fuel, a nourishing asset for my body and my life.

Now it’s your turn. If you’re using food to escape from yourself, your feelings and this overwhelming world, then I invite you to connect for an Escape From Emotional Eating Discovery Session.

In this powerful private session, I’ll hold safe, sacred space for you to share your challenges with emotional eating. I’ll listen intimately and help you connect the dots to why you aren’t free from the chaos with food just yet. We’ll also have the opportunity to explore whether the deep transformational work I do is a best next step for you.

Simply fill out this application right now, and if it makes sense for us to connect further, we’ll schedule a time to connect, discover and start healing your relationship with food and yourself.

As your guide, I wouldn’t ask you to do anything I haven’t already done myself. Because of that, I know you can do this.

My door is open. Let’s take the first step together.

With all my heart,

I felt powerless

June 13, 2017

STOP & think for a moment: How do you know when you’re full?

For a long time, knowing when I was full and how to stop eating was confusing. I couldn’t figure it out and I felt powerless.

At times I would eat so fast I swore someone had swooped in while I wasn’t looking and stole the food right off my plate. I had no recollection of eating it.

Eating fast always led me to overeat.

Other times I would start to feel full but an overwhelming crazy voice would push me to eat more. It told me, “This is so yummy! Don’t stop! Just 1 more bite!” It was so convincing.

This always led me to overeat too.

I desperately tried diets with planned portions as a way to control myself with food, but I could never sustain them. They only made that overwhelming crazy voice LOUDER and more convincing.

And so, I overate. And felt insane.

Shifting these patterns took a willingness to ditch the diets and try a radically different approach, one that I now teach my clients. With practice, I was rewarded with a sense of peace, trust and self-love that is solid and sustainable.

Now, I have a strong, clear, confident relationship with my fullness and food. It’s always with me and guiding me at every meal, whether I’m at home eating by myself or out to dinner with friends.

I haven’t overeaten or felt insane around food in over 4 years.

If I can shift this, so can you.

Submit your application for an Escape From Emotional Eating Discovery Session right now and I’ll teach you.

This is a powerful private 45-minute connection where I’ll listen intimately to your challenges with overeating. We’ll uncover the real reason you aren’t free from emotional eating yet and get clear on your best next steps together. We’ll also have the opportunity to explore whether the deep and unique work that I do is a fit for you.

Submit your application now and let’s set you free from this self-destructive cycle with food.

With all my heart,

PS. I have seen clients make incredible changes and finally stop eating when they are full just from attending one of the two very powerful in-person retreat experiences that I offer every year, called the ESCAPE.

Because it’s not just about a diet. It’s really about how you’re using food to escape from yourself, your emotions and your life. Submit your application for a Discovery Session now and take the first step to healing your relationship with food. Xoxo
