Being trapped in the emotional eating cycle is hard. 

Breaking free from the emotional eating cycle is hard. 

Choose your hard. 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. If you feel called to break free, click here. This journey will require support. 

Hey, 

Have you been feeling like your life is moving faster and faster… like your nervous system is overstimulated and oversaturated… like there’s just so much going on that you feel like you can’t keep up? 

I know I have. 🙋🏼‍♀️

It’s that all-too-familiar feeling of overwhelm. 😵‍💫

I’m not immune to feeling overwhelmed, I am human, after all – a highly sensitive one too! 

But the way I handle it now, is so very different than how I would cope with it when I was an emotional eater.

I used to feel overwhelmed all.the.time, so I would emotionally eatall.the.time. 

I would eat to numb how fried my nervous system felt. 

I would eat to quiet the torrent of voices inside my head. 

I would eat to buffer so I could just push through. 

Back then, I’d make false promises to myself like, “Oh, when things slow down, then I’ll [go workout, eat healthier, meditate, sleep better, etc.]”

But I’ve learned that life didn’t slow down. 

I was just sabotaging myself, my life, and the opportunities I had created – which gave me the illusion things “slowed down.”

Fast forward to today, when I feel overwhelmed, I see it as a sign it’s time for me to level UP. 

That it’s time to support my body, my nervous system, and my whole self in an even better way. 

So I can fully show up for all that life has to offer. 

Because when I made the decision to heal my emotional eating, I told myself I didn’t want to feel numb anymore. I didn’t want to miss out on this life, my life. 

And that’s a promise I’m keeping. 

Something else you should know about me, is that I am personally committed to becoming a truer, better version of myself again and again. 

I know that as long as I don’t extinguish myself a zillion times a day – with food or wine or retail therapy — that I will keep becoming. 

I choose this. 

I choose to become instead of numb. 

I choose this a zillion times a day. Again and again. Forever.

What do you choose? 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. Choosing to receive support was an essential part of my healing process. I can confidently say I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t let go of shame and my achiever mentality so I could receive the support I needed. 

Now, I invite you to follow in my footsteps. You don’t have to wait for things to get worse before they get better. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to explore if working together would be a fantastic fit, click here, and let’s discover exactly that. 💖

I’m super excited to share this podcast episode with you because it’s one that all women who strive for excellence need to hear! 

When I was re-listening to this episode a few days ago to map out some timestamps for you, that way, you could jump to key pieces in our conversation… I found myself marking every single minute… sooo you need to listen to the whole episode. 

Trust me on this one. 

This is that good! Listen now!

I also have an intuitive sense that you’ll enjoy some of Nicole’s other episodes too, so I feel honored to connect you with this episode and more. 

ENJOY! 

In service to your freedom,

P.S. I’d love to hear what’s supportive and insightful about our conversation. So once you listen to this episode, I invite you to reply to this email letting me know what your biggest takeaway was! Like, what was something that really resonated with you? 

I’d love to hear from you and my door is always open. Plus, it helps me know what to share more of with you. Can’t wait to hear from you! 

I was teaching a workshop recently where a woman raised her hand with a question about how to control cravings.

As she described her experience to me, I noticed she wasn’t describing cravings… she was describing compulsions.

I see this confusion all the time, so I’m going to be your teacher today! Let’s dive into this important lesson: Cravings vs. Compulsions!

Let’s start with some classic definitions:

A craving is a strong desire for something.

A compulsion is an irresistible urge.

If you’ve ever felt powerless, “too weak”, or lacking willpower around food – these are characteristics of compulsions.

Many people will try the only method they know – control.

This can look like not buying certain foods or other methods of restriction such as fasting.

But controlling never brings the lasting freedom and peace you long for. Instead, controlling fuels the compulsive cycle.

But I have good news for you! There is another way of working with compulsions.

It’s a different approach… one that I take with all of my clients… and one that brings you home to yourself.

Instead of controlling them, you heal them.

This healing approach is about being curious rather than controlling.

With my help, you’ll move beyond seeing your compulsions as enemies needing to be conquered. Instead, you’ll learn how to utilize them as guides, teachers, and care instructions.

Through this work, you become more conscious, more compassionate, and an even more wise human being.

Instead of feeling compulsive and powerless, you move through your life with courage – you finally have the courage to go for that new stretch job, start dating again, work on your marriage, or pursue your passions!

Thanks for joining me for today’s lesson! 🙂

In service to your freedom,

P.S. Your healing impacts everyone around you too.

No longer fractured by your compulsions, you move through life fully present. You relate to your colleagues, family, and all the people you meet from a wiser, more compassionate place.

Then, no matter where you are or what is happening in life, you become a healing presence in this world. Which our world so desperately needs. 💖

Here’s the truth…

When you emotionally eat, everything in your life has a fraction of your availability.

You are distracted. Fractured. Not really living.

I know this intimately because I used to emotionally eat. I was wasting my brilliance by ignoring what needed to be transformed.

Today, I invite you to go inward and answer this for yourself:

What could you create if you stopped emotionally eating? 

A better marriage

A new job that’s actually fulfilling

Financial security and freedom

Pursuing your passions

Sharing your talents

Writing a book

Mothering your kids like a she-wolf

Honestly, what could you create if you stopped emotionally eating?

We live in a society that demands that women ignore their needs and defer their desires.

Emotional eating perpetuates that by keeping you out of touch with what you truly know and feel.

It’s time to stop wasting your brilliance.

It’s time to stop ignoring what needs to be transformed.

In service to your freedom,

Learning to be a “loving mother” to yourself is a key piece in overcoming emotional eating. It’s what helps heal that empty feeling you’ve been trying to fill with food. 

To help you with this, I wrote a playful poem called, “Caring For Your Inner Kid.”

Then this is for YOU!

Hi,

In the moments you reach for food to avoid what you feel, you are essentially saying… 

“There is nothing I can do about this, so I might as well eat.” 

or

“I have no choice, so I might as well eat.” 

or

“Food is my only true pleasure, so I might as well eat.” 

Now let’s take a deeper, more advanced look at this…

No matter how successful you are in any other area of your life… no matter how much therapy or self-development work you’ve done… no matter how enlightened you think you are: how you eat tells all. 

When you eat when you aren’t truly hungry, it reveals your core beliefs.

Your core beliefs about feeling, receiving, nourishing, resting, peace, love, joy, security, and abundance. 

This is why intermittent fasting isn’t working for you. 

Because it’s not addressing what’s beneath the surface. 

In my private, one on one work with my clients, I LOVE – love, love, LOVE – peeling back the layers and helping them discover old limiting beliefs that are no longer serving them. 

With these once-blindspots now in the spotlight, we update and upgrade your inner world to align with who you are now and who you want to be in the future. 

On the inside, you no longer operate from past traumas, scarcity, lack, or limitation. 

On the outside, you are free from outdated coping mechanisms, like emotional eating.

Of course, there is a lot more that goes into this process, like ensuring you have the right coach to support you along the way. 

That’s why I’ve opened 3 SPOTS in my NEW PRIVATE PROGRAMS. Click here to apply now, and let’s discover if working together, one on one, would be a fantastic fit. 

If we’ve worked together in the past and you’ve felt the tug to reach out and explore working together again would look like, then click here and apply now.

In service to your freedom,
