The First 60 Seconds: Don't Let the Urge Become a Story (The Urge Proof Life — Episode 4)There's a tiny moment when an urge first appears—before the binge, before the “might as well,” before the story starts writing itself. In this episode, Georgie explains why the first danger often isn't the urge itself, but the meaning we attach to it: I can't handle this, I already know how this ends, I'm going to binge.You'll learn the “two waves” of an urge: the first wave is sensation, and the second wave is interpretation. The skill in the first 60 seconds isn't to make the urge disappear or diagnose it perfectly, it's to meet it with boring neutrality: “This is an urge. That's all. It'll be here for a while, and then it will leave.” From there, you can choose one small support, and later use the Urge Map if needed.Try this week: Practice the boring sentence three times when an urge appears. You don't have to stop eating, solve the urge, or do anything perfectly. Just notice what happens when you decline the story.New to the show?

Stop Arguing With Your Cravings: A Conversation with Dr. Glenn LivingstonThis episode is a rare guest conversation on Breaking Up With Binge Eating. Georgie is joined by Dr. Glenn Livingston, psychologist, author, and creator of Defeat Your Cravings, for a wide-ranging conversation about binge eating, cravings, food rules, self-trust, and why insight alone often isn't enough to change an eating pattern.Glenn shares his own history with compulsive overeating, including how years of therapy and self-understanding helped him become kinder to himself, but did not automatically stop the binge eating. Together, Georgie and Glenn explore why emotional pain can be part of the picture without being the whole cause, how the brain can use old wounds as justification for continuing a pattern, and why clear lines or “guardrails” can sometimes reduce the mental negotiation that keeps cravings alive.They also talk about the modern food environment, hyper-palatable foods, intermittent fasting, perfectionism, self-forgiveness, and why it is often easier to prevent cravings upstream than to fight them once they are roaring. Glenn offers practical tools for identifying the thoughts that try to talk you into eating against your own best judgment, while Georgie brings in her perspective on under-eating, over-productivity, emotional needs, and the importance of responding to both hunger and fullness cues with care.A key theme in this conversation is that recovery does not have to be built on shame. You can aim clearly without attacking yourself when you miss. You can protect your recovery without making your life smaller. And you can become someone who takes your own needs seriously, even when that means being a little “weird” in public, packing food, skipping the dessert you don't want, or refusing to harm yourself with food for someone else's comfort.Try this week: Notice one craving or urge and write down the thought that tries to justify it. Is it futility? Permission? “I deserve this”? “I'll start tomorrow”? Then ask: what would actually support me here?You can learn more about Dr. Glenn Livingston and access his free resources at DefeatYourCravings.com.New to the show?

Send us Fan Mail In this second episode of our Loud Longings series, we explore how cravings are often about much more than food. What looks like a desire for sugar, bread, or chocolate can sometimes point to a deeper longing for comfort, safety, peace, or connection. We begin with a simple breath prayer from Psalm 139—“Search me and know me”—and invite ourselves into a posture of curiosity instead of self-judgment. Together, we discuss how emotionally charged cravings can carry memories, grief, and unmet needs, and why understanding the story behind them can open the door to greater compassion.We also share personal experiences with food and stress, reflecting on how Jesus meets us with tenderness in our places of need. Looking at His ministry around tables and His invitation as the Bread of Life and Living Water, we consider what it means to seek deeper nourishment when cravings become overwhelming.If a nostalgic craving surfaces this week, try pausing and asking, “What story is attached to this?” Then pray, “Jesus, meet me inside of this memory, meet me here.” Subscribe for the rest of this series, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and if it helps, leave a review, so more listeners can find hope and freedom.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

"For years I believed happiness lived in a smaller body. What I finally learned was that healing my relationship with myself was the real transformation." -Lauren Rojas   What if the hardest part of weight loss isn't the food—it's the emotional story you've been carrying your entire life? In this powerful episode of Turmeric & Tequila, Kristen Olson sits down with wellness coach Lauren Rojas to discuss her 30+ year journey through diet culture, emotional eating, weight loss surgery, food addiction recovery, and ultimately finding peace with her body. Lauren shares what it was like growing up overweight, beginning diets at just 10 years old, and spending decades chasing the belief that happiness lived in a smaller body. From Weight Watchers and fad diets to food addiction programs, CrossFit, and bariatric surgery, Lauren reveals the lessons she learned along the way and how she now helps women transform their relationship with food, body image, and self-worth. Together, Kristen and Lauren explore the impact of reality television, The Biggest Loser, social pressure, emotional eating, body acceptance, self-awareness, and the importance of reconnecting mind, body, and spirit. This conversation is for anyone who has ever struggled with food, body image, perfectionism, shame, or the belief that they are somehow "not enough."

Most people think emotional eating is about food — but it's actually about the nervous system. In this episode, I open with a real conversation I had with someone who was questioning whether the nervous system is actually “a thing”… until she looked it up through AI and realized just how deeply it impacts digestion, hormones, and every process in the body.That moment led into a bigger question I hear all the time:Why was none of this ever explained to us?Why have so many people spent years dieting, struggling with food, and feeling stuck… without ever being taught about the system that regulates all of it?1. The Missing Piece in Weight Loss ConversationsI explain why the nervous system is often left out of the conversation:It's misunderstoodIt's not tangible or visibleIt doesn't come with a 6-week transformation promiseIt can't be tracked on a scale or appUnlike diets or macros, nervous system regulation is invisible — which is exactly why it's been overlooked.2. The Fantasy the Diet Industry SellsMost diets sell the same idea:Lose X pounds in X weeksFollow this plan exactlyMeasure everything and get predictable resultsIt feels clear and motivating because it's tangible.But what I want you to see is this:That promise is a fantasy.Real change doesn't come from control — it comes from regulation, safety, and identity shift.3. How You Actually Measure HealingYou don't measure nervous system healing by weight loss.You measure it by patterns like:Less frequent binge or emotional eatingSmaller intensity when triggers show upFaster recovery after difficult momentsLess time stuck in emotional spiralsFeeling more in control of your responsesHealing is not linear or dramatic — it's subtle and cumulative.4. This Work Changes Everything, Not Just FoodWhen I work with my nervous system and begin making peace with food, it doesn't stop at eating patterns.I notice:I become calmer in my relationshipsI respond instead of reactI recover faster emotionallyI feel more grounded in daily lifeBecause this work is not just about food.It's about how I experience life.5. You Are the Hero of Your StoryEvery story has contrast — challenge, growth, and change.And I remind you:You don't become the hero by avoiding difficulty. You become the hero by taking ownership of your life.6. Radical Responsibility = PowerIf everything is someone else's fault, then nothing is in my control.But when I say:“This happened”“It was hard”“And I choose what I do next”That's where my power comes back online.7. Reacting vs RespondingI break down two states:Reacting:AutomaticEmotionalOld patterns running the showResponding:IntentionalGroundedConscious choiceThe goal is not to remove emotions — it's to stop being controlled by them.8. Emotions Are MessengersEmotions are not problems to eliminate.They are signals.When I stop resisting them, I can actually understand them — and choose my next step instead of being overtaken by them.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

GLP-1 stopped working? Or is your body trying to tell you something deeper?In this episode, Kylie unpacks the REAL reason so many women hit a weight loss plateau while taking Ozempic, Mounjaro, Semaglutide or Tirzepatide… and why the answer is NOT always “eat less” or “increase your dose.”You'll learn: • Why GLP-1 plateaus happen • The hidden danger of losing muscle while dieting • How chronic stress and cortisol can stall fat loss • Why blood sugar regulation matters more than calories alone • The truth about “metabolic damage” • How under-eating protein can slow your progress • Why your nervous system affects the scale more than you think • The biggest mistakes women make when their appetite drops • How to support your metabolism WITHOUT spirallingThis episode is a must-listen for women over 40 who feel frustrated, stuck, inflamed, exhausted, or scared that their body has “stopped responding.”Because your body isn't broken, babe. It's adapting.And once you understand what's really happening beneath the surface… everything changes.

What does it look like to go from 500 pounds to a CrossFit coach - not out of inspiration, but because fear was the only thing in the room?In this episode, Jamison sits down with Athena Perez: affiliate owner, coach, and author of a two-part memoir about identity, worth, and what fitness spaces get dangerously wrong.We explore how compounding habits shape who we become long before we notice, why a 40-day fast became Athena's clearest window into emotional eating and genuine purpose, and why placing people on pedestals - in the gym or anywhere else - always costs you something.

In this episode of Your Next Level Podcast, Coach Pat breaks down what to do when life gets hard and your body starts paying the price, especially if you are struggling with consistency, emotional eating, stress, bloating, weight fluctuations, long shifts, low energy, and feeling like you have fallen off track.He explains why you are not lazy, you are mentally overloaded. When family stress, work pressure, sick leave, 12-hour shifts, poor sleep, and emotional weight start building up, your willpower runs low and the habits that are hardest to protect are usually the first ones to go.Instead of pushing harder, punishing yourself, or trying to make up for missed workouts, Coach Pat explains why you need a practical game plan.

Coach Pat also explains why your weight can fluctuate 2–5 pounds from water retention, sodium, hormones, cortisol, stress, sleep quality, and your environment, and why that does not mean you gained body fat overnight.Key Takeaways:You are not lazy, you may be overloaded.Mental load can drain your willpower.Emotional eating is not a character flaw.Hard weeks require a minimum effective dose.Scale weight can fluctuate from stress, sleep, hormones, and water.Steps, sleep, protein, water, and routine help rebuild momentum.Consistency does not mean perfection during messy weeks.And don't forget to follow and subscribe to my social media accounts.https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickhongfithttps://www.instagram.com/patrickhongfit/https://www.facebook.com/patrick.hong.7/If you need 1 on 1 coaching, DM “Coaching” on IG.

Have you ever felt like you know what to do when it comes to your health… but something keeps pulling you back into the same patterns? Maybe it's emotional eating. Maybe it's chronic stress. Maybe it's gut issues, hormone imbalances, sugar cravings, or feeling disconnected from your body despite your best efforts. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Des sits down with Amber Romaniuk, Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, to explore the deeper connection between our emotions, nervous system, hormones, digestion, and relationship with food. Amber shares her incredible personal journey of overcoming emotional eating, balancing her hormones and digestion, and breaking free from the self-sabotaging patterns that kept her stuck for years. Together, we discuss why healing often goes far beyond nutrition plans and willpower, and how true health starts with addressing the thoughts, beliefs, and stressors driving our behaviors. If you've ever felt frustrated by cravings, emotional eating, hormone symptoms, digestive issues, or feeling like you're constantly starting over with your health, this episode is packed with insight, compassion, and hope. In This Episode, We Explore: ✨ The connection between emotional eating and the nervous system ✨ Why willpower alone often isn't enough to change behaviors ✨ How chronic stress impacts digestion, hormones, and cravings ✨ The relationship between gut health and emotional well-being ✨ Why high-achieving women often struggle with self-care and burnout ✨ The hidden beliefs and patterns that keep women stuck ✨ How body image and self-worth influence health behaviors ✨ The role of intuition, self-awareness, and mindset in healing ✨ What true "Body Freedom™" looks like Meet Amber Romaniuk Amber Romaniuk is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert with over 12 years of experience helping high-achieving women build body confidence, improve their health, and overcome self-sabotage with food through mindset healing, self-care, and nervous system support.

She is also the host of The No Sugarcoating Podcast, with more than 2 million downloads, 600+ episodes, and listeners in over 90 countries. Why This Matters So often women are told to focus only on what they're eating, how they're exercising, or what supplement they're taking. But real healing often requires us to look deeper. Our hormones, digestion, nervous system, emotions, stress levels, and beliefs are all connected. When we begin addressing the whole picture, we create a foundation for sustainable health, improved energy, better digestion, balanced hormones, and a healthier relationship with ourselves.

New to the show? Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-here Pick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.Show Notes: Have you ever thought, “I don't even like this that much… so why do I still want more?” In this episode, Georgie explains the difference between wanting and liking—and why urges can stay loud even when pleasure is fading.You'll learn how wanting and liking are supported by partly different brain systems: dopamine-heavy motivation circuits help generate the “go get it” drive, while pleasure is more tied to hedonic circuits involving opioid and endocannabinoid signaling. The takeaway: drive and pleasure can decouple. That's why food can feel magnetic even when it's not actually delivering much satisfaction.Georgie also walks through three common reasons wanting can run hotter than liking: cues and habit loops, scarcity, and stress or depletion. You'll learn how to use a not worth it list, a pleasure check, and the concept of diminishing returns to interrupt the trance of “more will fix it.”Try this week: Pick one risk food or one risk time when wanting tends to get loud. If you eat, pause partway through and ask: “Am I actually liking this, or am I chasing relief?” If liking is low, try one re-route action from your urge map: nourishment, soft landing, soothing, permission with structure, or breaking a cue chain.Coming next: What to do in the first 60 seconds of an urge—before it escalates and before you start negotiating with yourself.

When I stopped drinking, I thought everything would finally fall into place. I thought my relationship with food would improve, I'd feel amazing, and life would instantly get easier. That's not what happened.In this episode, I'm sharing my personal journey with emotional eating, binge eating, diet culture, and the deeper patterns that surfaced after removing alcohol. We talk about why so many women turn to sugar, chips, or food after quitting drinking, how alcohol culture and diet culture keep us disconnected from ourselves, and why healing is so much deeper than changing behaviors.Inside this episode, we cover:* Why stopping drinking doesn't automatically heal emotional eating* The connection between alcohol culture and diet culture* Why restriction often leads to binge eating* The role of stress, nervous system regulation, and emotional overwhelm* Why shame keeps us stuck and curiosity moves us forward* How reconnecting with your body and intuition changes everythingIf you've ever wondered, Why am I still struggling even after I quit drinking? this conversation is for you.Sobriety isn't just about removing alcohol.

Send us Fan MailMost adults who struggle with food didn't just wake up one day with a problem.Often, the story started much earlier.Maybe food was used as comfort.Maybe you were told to finish your plate.Maybe you were bullied about your body.Maybe dieting, shame, or feeling “not good enough” became part of your relationship with food.In this episode, I'm joined by Kamy Moussavi, founder of Step Together, to talk about how childhood experiences shape emotional eating, overeating, body shame, and food struggles later in life.Kamy shares his own story of moving from Iran to Canada as a child, growing up overweight, being bullied, struggling with binge eating and bulimia, and later turning that pain into work that helps families break the cycle.We talk about: Why food struggles are rarely just about willpower  How stress, shame, loneliness, and emotional needs can show up as overeating  Why dieting as a child can create long-term damage  How parents can support children without shame or punishment  Why adults need to understand their own food story before passing patterns on  How to start breaking the cycle with more awareness and compassion This conversation is for you if you've ever struggled with emotional eating — or if you're a parent who wants to help your child build a healthier relationship with food and their body.Because kids are not broken.Adults are not lazy.And food struggles are often about much more than food. Learn more about Kamy's work at steptogether.usAnd if you want help building a healthier relationship with food, movement, and your body, you can check my coaching options at:personaltrainerturo.it

"I just don't trust myself around food." If that sentence is familiar, this episode is for you. Today I'm unpacking what self-trust actually is, and what it isn't, because most of us are working toward a version of self-trust that was never achievable to begin with. And that definition is quietly keeping us stuck.What You'll Discover:Why the most common definition of self-trust sets you up to fail before you even beginWhat self-trust actually isThe difference between self-monitoring and self-awareness, and why one creates more shame while the other creates real changeWhy respect is often more accessible than love, and how practicing respect with your body builds the safety that self-trust actually requiresIf you've ever dismissed your own progress because you didn't get it perfect, this episode will give you a different place to stand.Mentioned in this episode:The Gathering is a monthly guided experience for women who want to slow down and learn how to trust themselves. Each session, I bring the topics I'm personally working through and the patterns I keep seeing in my clients, and we go there together.

Her mission is to support women age 30 and up, 200 lbs and up, achieve their weight-loss goals without shrinking their lives. She came to this mission through her own 100-lb weight loss in 2018, where she discovered food freedom, healthier emotional boundaries, self-trust, and a richer life. She's now in her 5th year of business, and she and her clients focus on small habit-change, self-compassion, and authenticity. Core purpose/passion: I'm most passionate about helping women live more in-tune with what they want. So many of us live in fear for a huge percentage of our adult lives. We get stuck in people-pleasing, anxiety, and making choices only to get away from what we dislike. I want more women to feel awesome about making choices to go TOWARDS what they desire.

Feeling exhausted, inflamed, emotionally overwhelmed and completely disconnected from yourself lately?This episode is for the woman quietly wondering: “How did I end up feeling like this?”In this powerful episode, Kylie breaks down the REAL reason so many women over 40 feel stuck in cycles of emotional eating, exhaustion, weight gain, self-negotiation and constant “starting again.”This is NOT another fluffy motivation podcast.Kylie shares a step-by-step “Get Your Life Back” implementation plan, including: ✔️ creating non-negotiable standards ✔️ using the Identity Scorecard daily ✔️ removing sources of chaos ✔️ rewiring emotional eating habits ✔️ learning to tolerate discomfort without using food for reliefIf you've been feeling flat, puffy, emotionally exhausted and hopeless about your body or your future… this episode will help you stop spiralling and start rebuilding.Because it is NOT too late for you. 

New to the show? Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.Show Notes: In this episode, Georgie gives you a practical “urge map” to answer the question that matters in real life: what kind of urge is this? Because the same pantry moment can come from very different mechanisms—and if you use the wrong tool, it's easy to assume you “did it wrong” when you were simply solving the wrong problem. The core skill is matching the tool to the mechanism.You'll learn five common urge types and what each one actually needs: the Low-Fuel urge (under-fueling—food that counts), the Depletion urge (low capacity—less load and a soft landing), the Pain Relief urge (emotional or physical discomfort—soothing and often connection), the Scarcity/Rebellion urge (restriction and “I can't” energy—a believable yes and permission with structure), and the Autopilot urge (cue chains—pattern interruption, not self-criticism). You'll also get a quick five-question check-in to identify what's driving the urge in the moment, plus concrete examples of “permission with structure” and simple ways to break an evening cue chain.Try this week: Pick your most common urge type and run one experiment for seven days—data, not a test. (Afternoon anchor snack; a 10-minute downshift after dinner; a two-word feeling label + one moment of contact; a planned “yes” with structure; or breaking one link in your autopilot routine.)Coming next: Why urges can feel so persuasive even when the eating isn't that enjoyable—wanting vs liking.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I'm sitting with something that has weighed on so many of us for far too long — the relentless mental noise around food, what I call food chatter, and what it actually takes to quiet it for good. I'm not talking about another meal plan or a new set of rules. I'm talking about what is happening in your brain when the spiral starts, and the two science-backed strategies that peer-reviewed research has proven can interrupt it. We dig into Rumination-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy — which sounds clinical but is honestly one of the most practical tools I've come across — and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which teaches you to watch a thought without obeying it, and why that single skill changes everything around food obsession. I also share a story about my sister that still lives in my heart, talk about what my son and the Game of Thrones soundtrack taught me about dropping resistance, and make the case for why sitting down to eat your meal is one of the most underrated acts of self-respect you can give yourself. This episode is grounded in real research, real life, and the kind of honest conversation I hope feels like a walk with a good friend.Quote of the Week: "True silence isn't the complete absence of thoughts; it is the act of stepping back and watching your thoughts without attaching to them or fighting them. When you stop struggling against your mental chatter, it loses its power over you." - Anonymous Citations:1.    Morillo-Sarto, H., et al. (2023).

If you've ever wondered why binge eating or emotional eating seems to happen at the same times of day, after work, after lunch, on Sunday nights, or when you get home from a trip, this episode is going to reframe everything. The answer might not be about food at all. It might be about transitions.In this episode I break down what transitions actually are, why the brain finds them so hard to navigate, and how so many binge eating triggers are really just transition moments your nervous system didn't know how to get through. Whether you're dealing with the small daily transitions that fly under the radar or a bigger life change that's been quietly driving your eating, this episode will help you finally understand what's happening and what to do about it.What You'll Discover:Why your brain treats transitions as a threat and how that drives binge eating and stress eating urgesThe daily transition moments most people never recognize and how to spot the ones that are hardest for youHow to tell if a big life transition is behind your current food struggles and the question to ask yourself right nowHow to minimize transitions where you can — a nervous system strategy that also happens to be a productivity strategyA practical framework for navigating the transitions you can't avoid so food stops being your brain's default relief valve If you've ever found yourself reaching for food after work, during a stressful season, or at the same time every day without knowing why, this episode will help you finally connect those dots. Binge eating triggers aren't random. And understanding them is the first step to changing them. Do you want help navigating big or small transitions?

If you are worried about emotional eating in kids and wondering how to help your child without shame, pressure, or food battles, this episode is for you.In this episode of Family in Focus, I unpack emotional eating in children, stress eating, and the unmet needs that often sit beneath eating behaviors. Because emotional eating is not simply about food, discipline, or “bad habits.” Many times, it is a coping strategy connected to stress, overwhelm, boredom, frustration, or other emotional experiences your child may not yet know how to process.This episode will help you look beyond the behavior so you can better understand what your child may really need.In this episode:• What emotional eating in kids actually means and why most people emotionally eat• Why stress eating and emotional eating are often connected to unmet needs• How focusing only on food can unintentionally keep families stuck• Why emotions themselves are not the problem and what your child may really be communicating• How to approach eating behaviors with more curiosity, connection, and less shame or pressureNew episodes air every Wednesday.If you are listening and realizing your child is sneaking food, hiding wrappers, or eating in secret, there is a next step for you.No More Candy Wrappers Under the Bed is a workshop designed to help you understand why this is happening and how to shift it without shame, control, or power struggles.You can learn more and sign up here:https://www.wendyschofermd.com/no-more-candy-wrappersJoin The Exhale, my newsletter for parents who want less stress around food, body image, and weight concerns and more confidence at the dinner table: https://www.wendyschofermd.com/the-exhaleLearn more about working together:https://www.wendyschofermd.comTo schedule a consult:https://wendyschofermdscheduling.as.me/consultFollow along and continue the conversation:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wendyschofermd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wendyschofermdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/wendyschofermd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendy-schofer-md/While I am a doctor, I am not your doctor.

If you know what to eat and still cannot stay consistent, this episode is for you. In Part 2 of the Why Nothing Is Working series, I am getting into the layer that no meal plan, fitness challenge, or nutritionist has ever addressed — and it is the one thing that will keep you stuck if it goes unaddressed in perimenopause and menopause. I tell you about a recent consultation with a 57-year-old retired woman who has a personal trainer, a nutritionist, a life coach, and a solid routine Monday through Friday. She eats all the right things all week long. And then the weekend comes. She told me she just wants to let her hair down. She wants to relax. And when I asked her what else she did to relax besides eat and drink, she paused and said: nothing. That is not a discipline problem. That is a nervous system problem. And in this episode I break down exactly why food becomes the only tool so many women in midlife use to manage how they feel — and why that pattern will outlast every plan you try until you address it at the root.   FEATURED ON THE SHOW / RESOURCES ForeverWell Weight Loss + Life Coaching Schedule a Weight Loss Consultation with Jennifer Follow me on Instagram: @JenniferDentBrown Get The Grown Woman Standard: Sign up for my weekly emails Have feedback on this episode?

A few weeks ago, I talked about how emotional eating sometimes isn't that deep. But in this episode, I want to explore the other side of it. Because sometimes... it actually is. I share what I've seen over and over again with clients who are making progress, feeling good, and creating real change in their lives... only to suddenly hit resistance when they start becoming more visible, more confident, or more aligned with the version of themselves they truly want to be.We talk about how past experiences, trauma, or even smaller moments from our past can quietly shape the way we respond to growth, attention, success, and discomfort.And how sometimes, the body reacts before we can even identify a thought.This episode is really about learning how to recognize when your nervous system might be trying to keep you “safe” by keeping you small, stuck, or disconnected from your goals.I also talk about the importance of therapy, creating safety within yourself, and learning how to sit with discomfort long enough to move toward the life you actually want.Because healing isn't always about staying focused on the past.Sometimes it's about realizing that you are safe now... and allowing yourself to grow from that place.CourtneyI currently work with women privately to achieve their health, mindset, and body goals.  I would love to offer you a consultation HERE to discuss the changes you want to make to create more joy, health, and peace in your body and life.

Start Here: https://breakingupwithbingeeating.transistor.fm/start-herePick the listening path that fits what you're dealing with right now.Show Notes: An Urge Is Not an Order: What Urges Are (and What They Aren't) (The Urge Proof Life — Episode 1)Urges can feel like an emergency—like the outcome is already decided before you even start. In this season opener, Georgie reframes urges as signals, not commands, and explains why urges get so loud when pressure rises and capacity drops. You'll learn why the goal isn't to eliminate urges, but to keep them from escalating.This episode also tackles a common trap: the belief that you have to binge to make an urge go away. In reality, urges can rise, peak, and pass without a binge—and bingeing often creates more urges by reinforcing the relief loop and adding extra pressure afterward (shame, fear, compensation thoughts, and scarcity). You'll also learn what fuels escalation in the moment—panic language, negotiating, future-tripping, shame/secrecy, and all-or-nothing thinking—and how to step out of that spiral.You'll get a simple four-step “first move” for any urge: label it (“signal, not order”), use neutral language (“uncomfortable, not dangerous”), take a small pause to restore choice, and ask what the urge is actually asking for (food, rest, relief, connection, or predictability).Try this week: Catch and label three urges. Don't make it a test of whether you eat—just reduce escalation by 10% and treat it as data, not a verdict.Coming next: Episode 2 builds your Urge Map—how to identify what kind of urge you're having and match the tool to the mechanism.

In this episode of Project Weight Loss, we sit down — well, metaphorically — with one of the most brilliant scientific minds in the field of habit change and mindfulness: Dr. Judson Brewer, affectionately known as Dr. Jud. With over 20 years of NIH-funded research, a TED Talk viewed millions of times, and three powerhouse books, Dr. Jud has cracked the code on why we do the things we do — even when we desperately don't want to. And it has nothing to do with willpower. Nothing. At. All.This episode is personal, it is science-backed, and it is packed with tools you can start using today. We explore the brain science behind every habit loop you have ever been stuck in, why shame is the last thing that will ever set you free, and what curiosity has to do with changing your brain from the inside out. We also get into Dr. Jud's thoughtful and honest take on GLP-1 medications — and why the inner work still matters, whether you are on them or not. Plus, I share something close to her heart that ties it all together beautifully. You are not going to want to miss this one.
