Show Notes
I spent years in therapy talking about my disordered earting. I understood it deeply…where it came from, what triggered it, what kept me stuck, but I stayed exactly the same. It wasn't until I stopped TALKING about it and started FEELING it in my body that everything actually changed. In this episode I'm sharing the full story…including the panic attack on my bathroom floor that was my first real somatic experience, and what happened when I finally let myself feel what I'd been eating over for years.
I discuss... Why talk therapy doesn’t work when it comes to healing your relationship with food What somatics actually is and how it's different from anything you've tried before The polar bear video I watched in college that first showed me what real stress release looks like My first panic attack somatic experience Why your eating issues are the SOLUTION to your nervous system dysregulation What it felt like the first time I experienced genuine safety in my body Why you can understand your patterns completely and still not be able to change them…and what to do instead

Krista spent years thinking she was basically healed because the big night binges had stopped. She still had food noise, still overate at most meals without fully realizing it, and had mostly accepted that she just carried excess in her legs and assumed that’s just how her body was built. Growing up in a house where someone was always dieting or binging, she used to wish she could be anorexic so she could finally control herself. As a mom of three, the pull to track, volume eat, and “get back on track” after her third baby almost pulled her right back in. In this episode, Krista shares how she became naturally thin, released over 20 pounds without white-knuckling it, and stop treating food and her body like the main project of her life.
Most people think eating too much only looks like binges, but a lot of overeating is quieter than that. In this episode I’m walking through the hyper-specific signs your body is getting wayyyyy more food than it needs. These signs are part of how you read your built in calorie calculator!
Imagine binge eating every single day (while on the maximum dose of a GLP-1) weighing yourself multiple times a day, and living with constant food noise and body shame… then titrating off the medication, ditching the scale, maintaining a 25-pound weight loss, and feeling like a completely different person. In this episode, my Heart Led Eating alum Allison shares how a lifetime of family weight policing, extreme restriction, binge-purge cycles, yo-yo dieting, and a nursing background that pushed her further from her body led her to the moment she decided to draw a line in the sand and become naturally thin instead.
If you keep getting urges to eat when you’re not hungry or past fullness, it’s not a willpower problem. It’s a capacity problem. In this episode I’m breaking down what nervous system capacity actually is, how a small capacity turns into overeating, and how to grow it so you don’t need food to feel safe.
Body positivity culture says you heal body image by loving yourself, detaching from your physical body, and doing more inner work. That’s not what actually ended my bad body image days/body dysmorphia…and it’s not what I see work for my clients. In this episode I’m breaking down the 2 real reasons you don’t like how you look, and how to never have a bad body image day again.
