Episode SummaryIn this episode, Georgie Fear explores the psychological chain reactions behind binge eating, revealing how it often serves as a rebound effect from excessive restraint and self-sacrifice. Through the story of Marta, a busy mom juggling family and business, listeners learn how binge eating isn't about selfishness—it's actually a compensation for too much selflessness.Key Topics CoveredWhy binge eating doesn't occur in isolation—it's a rebound or "ricochet" from preceding circumstancesThe intersection of restraint and entitlement in disordered eatingHow excessive self-sacrifice during the day leads to compensatory eating behaviorsThe difference between healthy restraint and harmful restrictionWhy taking away the "problem food" isn't the solutionMain Story: Marta's JourneyMarta is a married mother of four who runs a home business while managing her children's busy schedules. Despite loving her life, she struggles with eating entire boxes of cookies in her car between errands. Georgie reveals how Marta's binge eating is actually an aftershock of practicing too much selflessness—skipping meals, ignoring her own needs, and constantly serving others.Key InsightsBinge eating behaviors can be understood as a solution rather than just a problemStrong emotional attachments to binge behaviors are normal—even when you desperately want to stopThe solution isn't more restraint; it's learning to ease up on the excessive ways we restrict ourselvesNot all restraint is bad—healthy restraint allows balanced decision-makingAction Steps DiscussedAllow yourself to rest when tiredMake time to eat proper mealsGive yourself permission to daydream and think about your own wantsDedicate time to activities just for yourselfExplore what you want—not just what others needComing Up NextThe next episode will dive deeper into how food interacts with restraint, addressing the common belief that any restriction leads to disorder, and discussing how people with a history of disordered eating can still lose weight in a healthy way.Connect with Confident EatersFor more resources on achieving complete food freedom, visit ConfidentEaters.com or subscribe to the Breaking Up with Binge Eating Podcast.

Do you ever reach for food when your body isn't actually hungry? Have you noticed how certain foods show up most when you're tired, stressed, or emotionally spent?In this episode, I sit down with emotional eating expert Tricia Nelson to explore comfort eating through a compassionate, spiritual lens. We talk about why emotional eating isn't about willpower or discipline, but about trying to feel better and why food often becomes the safest way to cope with uncomfortable emotions.We also explore how using food to numb doesn't just affect the body. It can muffle intuition, dull our spiritual sensitivity, and quietly impact how we show up in our work, relationships, and visibility.This conversation is for soul-guided entrepreneurs who sense that their relationship with food is connected to something deeper and are ready to approach it with awareness instead of shame.You'll discover:Why emotional eating is about soothing, not self-controlHow comfort food can block intuition and spiritual connectionWhat it means to heal overeating from the inside outAbout Tricia:Tricia Nelson lost fifty pounds by identifying and healing the underlying causes of her emotional eating.

This didn't just happen for me, one of my clients ghosted ME from January (when she originally reached out to me) until April when she joined my membership.Another client shared that she actually unfollowed me for a while before working with me because she was triggered by my joy and how happy I was.It's normal to have fear.It's normal to think you can do it on your own.It's normal to get triggered by someone who's binge free.But it's always the badasses who lean into the fear and get support anyways who conquer.ROOT & REWIRE MEMBERSHIPCONNECT WITH LORNA:---> Instagram @lorna_bingeeatingcoach---> Tiktok @lorna_bingeeatingcoach

When the focus is always on finding a root cause, it keeps you looking for the next answer and the next answer and the next answer to your food issues. This can keep you stuck in a survival response. This constant searching sends signals of danger to the body that something is wrong, and it has to keep the sympathetic nervous system turned on (where food behaviors intensify).What if there is no root cause to your binge eating or emotional eating or body image concerns or chronic dieting or restricting? What if this is a natural impulse when you don't feel safe? What if this all made A LOT of sense and there is nothing to fix or change or heal, but rather to explore how you could respond to a food or body impulse differently?In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Shannon Salge, founder of The Wellness Paradigm, Functional Nutritionist and Bioresonance Practitioner about: Understanding bioresonanceThe role of generational trauma and energy in healing Exploring emotional connections to symptoms Understanding the body's communication Identifying when you need to stop looking for the next treatment to "fix" yourself Daily practices to regulate You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/unraveling-the-hidden-energetic-effects-of-generational-traumaHope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week!

Megan came to me wanting to specifically work through her night time eating. She always knew she was an intuitive eater because as a kid she would always leave food on her plate.

Did you know that weight loss is one of the most common resolutions for the New Year, but that restrictive dieting is a gateway to eating disorders?

Welcome to a powerful and heartfelt episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, hosted by Heather Creekmore. In this episode, Heather chats with three real women—Patricia, Diane, and Jess—who have courageously walked through coaching and programs to improve their body image and relationship with food. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in food obsession, diet culture, or shame around your body, this episode is for you! Episode Highlights: The guests share honestly about their lifelong battles with body image, food restriction, calorie counting, and the underlying fears and shame that kept them trapped for years. Patricia Reveals how she lived in “body image bondage” for nearly two decades, mistaking strict dieting for freedom until she discovered the faith-based approach of Compared to Who? and began her journey to genuine freedom. Diane At age 71, reflects on six decades of food obsessions and restricting behaviors, and how finally integrating her faith with her eating and body image struggles began her transformation. Jess Shares how she didn’t realize she even had body image issues until after having kids; she discusses the shame of living in a bigger body, the mental exhaustion of chasing diets, and how true freedom finally came through the support and tools offered in the coaching group. The women and Heather explore the themes of fear, idolatry, objectification, and the dynamic between self-worth and body size. Hear practical, inspiring stories about breaking the cycle of daily weigh-ins, obsessive thoughts, and moralizing food choices. Each guest describes how participation in the 40 Day Body Image Journey, the Body Image Freedom Framework, and intuitive eating coaching offered loving accountability, lasting mindset shifts, and deepened connection to God’s truth about their identity. The episode closes with encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, scared to start, or believes they’re “too old” or “too late” for change. Key Takeaways: Lasting body image freedom isn’t about reaching your “ideal weight”—it’s about shifting your perspective, breaking fear-driven cycles, and finding your worth in God, not a number on the scale. Healing comes in community: support, vulnerability, and shared struggle are powerful in bringing freedom from shame and isolation. No matter your age or how long you’ve struggled, there is hope and there is help.

I wanted to approach the transition into a new year differently. For the past couple of years, I felt like it was more somatically aligned to explore a feeling word for the year rather than resolutions. This feeling word could then be a guiding light throughout the year toward actions or food or environments or hobbies that support you in feeling the way you want to feel. But, I decided to move away from that this year because I sensed it could be used as another way to disembody and to try to force the body into a state or way of being that is mentally desired but not actually what the body wants or needs. So, I'm moving in a different somatic direction this year.In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: The history of a New Year What it means to live somaticallyWhat this looks like as an ongoing practice And how this could all lead to decreasing food behaviors and increasing the creation of living the life you want to be livingYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/the-death-of-new-years-resolutionsI'm excited to explore somatics, trauma, and nutrition more with you over this next year and one exciting piece of news is that the Satiated Podcast has been chosen as one of the Top 40 Women In Food Podcasts by FeedSpot.

PART TWO: Many of us know what we should be eating - but still find ourselves stuck in patterns we can't shift. In Part 2 of my conversation with Sophia Lightfoot, we go deeper into the emotional landscape behind eating habits. We explore how grief, stress, unmet needs, and early experiences can all shape our relationship to food - and how becoming aware of these deeper drivers is often the key to transformation. Together, we begin to unravel why the body holds on — to weight, to cravings, and to emotion - and how that can show up through the skin.

REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this timely New Year's episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling unpack groundbreaking research published in Cell Host and Microbe revealing why holiday emotional eating isn't a character flaw but a metabolic brain loop driven by gut-produced molecules that hijack your stress response. They explain how the microbial metabolite imidazole propionate (IMP) crosses into the brain and fundamentally alters stress-coping circuitry, causing a "freeze" response that makes you reach for food when overwhelmed rather than exploring healthier options. The hosts connect this mechanism to the 88% of Americans living with metabolic dysfunction, demonstrating how insulin resistance, gut dysbiosis, and blood sugar dysregulation create a vicious cycle where stressed brains default to emotional eating as a neurobiological coping strategy. They provide actionable solutions including establishing foundational fasting habits, using continuous glucose monitors for real-time feedback, removing ultra-processed foods that feed harmful gut bacteria, and implementing simple stress-management tools that rewire the gut-brain-metabolism connection. This episode offers scientific validation and practical strategies for starting 2026 with momentum rather than guilt-driven New Year's resolutions.

About Dr. Glenn Livington: Dr Glenn Livingston, Ph.D. is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million-dollar consulting firm which has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. Doctor Glenn's work, theories, and research have been published in major periodicals like The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, Doctor Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most important, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Show Notes: If food feels like it has power over you — whether that means occasional overeating, persistent cravings, or feeling stuck in a cycle of "starting tomorrow" — this episode offers a radically different and compassionate approach. In this powerful conversation, Glenn Livingston, psychologist and author of Defeat Your Cravings, explains why willpower is not the solution to food struggles — and how lasting freedom comes from learning to quiet the brain's emergency response around food. Dr. Glenn shares how cravings are rooted in the nervous system, why deprivation backfires, and how nourishing your body properly allows the rational brain to regain control. Together, we explore the science behind cravings, binge urges, and emotional eating — including the concept of the cravings extinction curve, why cravings intensify before they disappear, and how self-care, sleep, and nutrition play a critical role in calming the brain. This episode offers hope, clarity, and practical tools for anyone who wants peace with food — without dieting, restriction, or shame. ✨ What You'll Learn · Why willpower fails — and what works instead · How cravings are driven by the fight-or-flight nervous system · The science of the cravings extinction curve · Why nourishing your body reduces binge urges · How sleep, stress, and decision fatigue impact cravings · How to stop "starting tomorrow" and work with the present moment · Why extreme diets make cravings worse, not better · How to regain calm, control, and choice around food

Send us a text!To get the transcript and live access register at https://launch.zivli.com/cravings-resetToday we talked about something really important—why cravings get stronger during stressful seasons and why trying harder, being more disciplined, or “getting back on track” usually doesn't fix it.This isn't a motivation problem.And it's definitely not a character flaw.Cravings are often driven by stress circuits in the emotional brain that are formed and fire automatically. Once those circuits are activated, logic, plans, and good intentions don't stand a fair chance.That's why:“Just say no” doesn't workWhite-knuckling through cravings usually backfiresFood feels harder to manage when you're stressedInside today's training, you'll learn:What's actually happening in your brain and body when cravings hitCommon stressors you may not recognize Why stress makes sugar and comfort foods feel irresistibleHow calming the nervous system is the first step toward feeling back in control againNo food rules.No tracking.No pressure to be perfect.Just understanding—and a new perspective.

Surrounded by family, arguments, familial patterns, working on staying connected, trying to enact different patterns with food, and feeling overwhelmed and dysregulated. And for others, this week may have included huge wins. You noticed yourself regulating your nervous system, staying connected, choosing other options besides food to connect with yourself, and you got to witness just how far you've come in your food recovery. But today, three days after the actual holiday, it may feel like food is even more of a struggle than it was a few days ago. The experience of joy, connection, stress, exhaustion, social pressure, and emotional intensity of the day may be over, but the food is still here.Maybe you had a plan leading up to the holiday. You had your friends on stand by via text, you had your somatic practices you've learned here or in a session, you showed up for yourself, you tried to stay connected, and so now you may feel utterly confused that you got through the holiday just fine, but want to binge on every holiday leftover food you can find. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: Why leftovers can feel like a threatWhat has changed in your nervous system the day after a holidayMaking sense of your urge to binge leftovers How to somatically process the leftover food binge You can also read the transcript to this week's episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/when-holiday-leftovers-feel-like-a-threatI'll be putting out a special New Years' episode next week so if there is anything you'd like me to add to this episode on how to somatically enter the new year without diet promises and exercise rules, respond to this email with any questions you have!

Losing weight is probably one of the most common reasons we hear that people want to end their binge eating. It's the physical symbol of success and is most apparent to the world. Reasons for wanting to change their current state may also include bothersome achy knees, elevated blood pressure, or distress about not being a healthy role model. But the big thing that hurts them on a daily basis is the size, shape, or weight of their body. If you want to stop binge eating mostly because you want to lose weight, that's a perfectly fine reason. The goal for today's episode is to help alleviate the frustration that can grow when you're doing the right things to stop binge eating, but your weight hasn't budged. Because if we don't address that frustration, it leads people to lose focus on binge eating recovery and start focusing instead on moving the scale. We will discuss how the order of the stages of recovery matter, why weight loss before conquering binge eating doesn't work, and learn about the steps toward achieving both goals. We want to equip you with strategies to navigate your own journey to complete food freedom, including deliberate weight loss behaviors and maintaining long-term success.

What if your "willpower problem" with food was never about food at all? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Amber Romaniuk, an emotional eating, digestive, and hormone expert with 12+ years of experience. Amber shares the childhood roots of emotional eating, the intense turning point that forced her to face her own binge-restriction patterns, and the multidimensional healing path that led to true body freedom. This episode explores why feeling emotions can feel unsafe and how to create real nervous system safety. What You Will Learn: A clear understanding of how childhood moments can become identity wounds that drive emotional eating for decades. Language for naming the difference between discomfort and being unsafe, so emotions stop feeling like an emergency. A simple way to work with the brain's threat response without letting it run your life. A practical starting point for emotion work: set a timer for 30 seconds and build capacity gradually. Why food becomes a regulator when life feels helpless, out of control, or emotionally unsupported. Insight into how the binge–restriction cycle can intensify after weight loss, breakups, and "perfect body" beliefs. A realistic picture of what root-cause healing actually involves: mental, emotional, behavioral, energetic, spiritual, and physical layers. Tools that help create safety while feeling emotions, including breathwork, EFT tapping, self-holding, music, and affirmations. Why chronic stress and fight-or-flight make it harder to heal digestion, blood sugar, and hormones. A grounded approach to "breaking the lineage" by combining inner healing with loving boundaries when family dynamics push back. Why progress requires structures that support "doing the reps," not just inspiration or insight. How long-term support helps women stay consistent when real life hits. Why new success can trigger fear and how identity work helps you maintain change without self-sabotage. Connect with Amber Romaniuk Amber Approved Connect with Anjel B.

In today's episode of Crying In My Cheesecake, I sit down with Darlene, a woman who has walked through deep trauma, generational health battles, emotional eating, and years of feeling like her body was destined to fail her—yet God has been faithful in every part of her story.We talk about what happens when food turns from nourishment into comfort, survival, or numbing. We dig into the reality of trauma, nervous system overload, dopamine depletion, emotional survival mechanisms, and why willpower alone is never the answer. When your body has lived through abandonment, grief, loss, or chaos… your brain and nervous system carry those scars. And food often becomes the “safe place.”If you've ever used food to cope…If you've ever looked at your family history and wondered, “Is this where I'm headed too?”If you've ever felt broken, weak, or ashamed because you “can't control yourself”…You need to hear this conversation.Healing isn't about shaming yourself into restriction. It's about truth, nervous system repair, faith, community, and being brave enough to face what's really going on beneath the surface.EPISODE LINKS, SERVICES & MEMBERSHIPS:Ocean to Ocean - Darlene Fleary's SubstackBlood Sugar ExplorersDr. Danielle's SubstackCoffee Cafe Registration$7 Mentorship: How to Fix Your Energy, Cravings, and Mood in Just One Day

If this topic is sensitive or triggering to you, please listen at your discretion. We tend to think of overeating or eating when we're not hungry as a lack of willpower or discipline. Feeling intense shame afterward. Vowing to never do it again. Only to keep returning to food and repeating the cycle over and over.We're great at blaming ourselves, but have you ever considered that your eating habits might be linked to deeper issues? And that your perceived lack of control is actually a survival mechanism?Today Diane Petrella, MSW, clinical social worker, and author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors, and I discuss the link between childhood trauma and emotional eating.Highlights Timings:03:01 - The Link Between Trauma and Emotional Eating10:01 - Early Trauma and Its Long-Term Effects15:01 - Coping Mechanisms and Food as Comfort20:01- Strategies to Manage Emotional EatingImportant Links:Free Rev Up Your Metabolism eBookGet It HEREWebsite: sarahhaaswellness.comFacebook: Sarah Haas WellnessInstagram: @sarahhaaswellnessYoutube: Sarah Haas WellnessGuest BioDiane Petrella, MSW, is a clinical social worker, certified life coach, and holistic licensed psychotherapist, specializing in the effects of childhood trauma, emotional eating, and body confidence.

For so many of us, nighttime feels like stepping into a different version of ourselves. One that feels "fine" all day, but starts to unravel the moment the sun goes down. One who can't stop thinking about snacks, who wanders into the kitchen on autopilot, who feels out of control around food in ways that never show up at noon. It can feel confusing, frustrating, even shameful. Listen to the full episode for the full unpacking and for the practical steps that can help you finally feel at peace when the night comes. Tweetable Quotes "Your body might not be confused or just randomly anxious. It might actually be undernourished." - Rachelle Heinemann "Sometimes we get caught up in what we call healthy habits… and these are like the perfect conditions to breed bingey eating or nighttime food anxiety." - Rachelle Heinemann "At night, usually that's where all the leftovers emotionally show up." - Rachelle Heinemann "Emotional hunger is not fake hunger, it's just a metaphoric hunger." - Rachelle Heinemann "If you're hungry, whether it's metaphoric or otherwise, you're hungry for something." - Rachelle Heinemann Resources Grab my Journal Prompts Here!

Send us a textHoliday Eating Without Guilt: A New Way to Navigate the HolidaysThe holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for so many women, they come with food guilt, stress, and the pressure to “be good” around food.In this episode, I'm breaking down why holiday eating feels so hard, and why the stress you feel around food isn't a personal failure it's a predictable response to restriction, pressure, and outdated nutrition rules.I walk you through what I call the holiday diet trap: the cycle of restriction, overeating, guilt, and shame that shows up every year, and explain why trying to control food more actually leads to less control.We talk about how holiday stress impacts your physiology, your appetite, and your food choices, and why mindful eating isn't about willpower, it's about creating safety, presence, and freedom around food.This episode is a call to shift from restriction to nourishment, from fear to trust, and from guilt to an abundance mindset so you can enjoy holiday food, feel good in your body, and stay connected to what actually matters.If you're tired of white-knuckling your way through holiday eating, this episode will change how you approach food —not just during the holidays, but for good.Why wait until January 1 to feel better?
