5 Proven Strategies to Stop Binge Eating and Reclaim Your Life Synopsis: Binge Eating Disorder is the most common—and most misunderstood—eating disorder in the world. Many people blame themselves, chalking their struggles up to a lack of willpower or addiction, never realizing there's a real psychological reason behind their pain. In this powerful session, renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin reveals the emotional roots beneath binge eating, drawing on her own journey from years of suffering to true recovery. Dr. Nina will share five proven strategies that go far beyond dieting or self-discipline. Instead, she'll guide you through the process of “emotional gardening”—getting to the root causes hidden below the surface. With warmth, expertise, and real-life wisdom, Dr. Nina will help you recognize and address the real reasons behind binge eating so you can create lasting freedom and finally reclaim your life. Discover the practical steps Dr. Nina has used with countless clients—and in her own life—to break the cycle of binge eating for good. Learn why food is never the real problem, how to identify the emotional triggers sabotaging your peace, and walk away with actionable tools to nurture healing from the inside out. Bio: Dr. Nina's personal history fuels her passion for helping others. She once considered herself "the poster child for eating disorders." After struggling for 15 years, she went to therapy for anxiety. She never disclosed her disordered eating to her therapist, yet she left therapy completely healed from all eating disorders. How was this possible? Food was never the problem; it was a negative "solution" to the problem. She became a psychotherapist because she wanted to help other people liberate themselves and find peace. Dr. Nina knows that our hidden emotions and conflicts have power over us. She believes in "emotional gardening" to get to the roots of why we're stuck. Just as we cannot see a root, but it grows the weeds, our hidden thoughts lead to the behaviors that cause pain. By digging deep, we get rid of the emotional roots and create lasting freedom. She is on the board of Rose City Center, a psychoanalytically informed flexible fee counseling and training center, where she is the Director of the Development Committee. The center's mission is to provide psychotherapy services to underserved communities throughout California. As the mother of two daughters–one biological and one adopted from China–she advocates adoption and believes that love is born in the heart. She and her family sponsor three children through Love Without Boundaries. Her special needs deaf Great Dane named Zane is also a member of the family, and the ASPCA is another favored charity. When she is not treating patients or coaching clients, you can find her hugging trees in her backyard, weight training, or watching romantic comedies with her family.  Website: https://drninainc.com/ Book: The Binge Cure https://drninainc.com/the-binge-cure/ Video Version: https://www.youtube.com/live/XTV8kh1h6Mk?si=W2I_ihiWIXSHdreF Chat with Teresa during Live Show with Video Stream: write a question on YouTube Learn more about Teresa here: https://www.webebookspublishing.com    http://authenticendeavorspublishing.com/

Website: https://www.bizcatalyst360.com   Unsheltered - None of Us Are Home Until All of Us Are Home:  What's your first question or thought when encountering a homeless person? Do you wonder: Is it their choice to be on the street? Are they just lazy and don't want to work? Are they all mentally ill, alcoholics, or addicted to drugs? Are they dangerous? The list of questions and assumptions goes on and is shared by many. Many homeless people work but, without a permanent address or transportation, often have difficulty finding and keeping jobs. While some homeless people have mental health issues or substance abuse problems, most do not. Dangerous? Homeless people are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators. They are often targets of violence and theft, and they live in constant fear for their safety. It is important to remember that many homeless people are just like you and me but have fallen on hard times. They are human beings who deserve our compassion and understanding versus being harshly judged based on their circumstances or appearance. This Book had to be written! It's time for us to change the narrative, starting with changing the label. The word "homeless" is stigmatizing, immediately conjuring up the many misconceptions mentioned above. "Unsheltered" is more neutral and casts a much wider net beyond unhoused, including those whose primary nighttime residence is unsuitable for human habitation (for example, a city sidewalk, vehicle, abandoned building, or park). Before you ignore another homeless person on the street, remember? That could be someone's father or mother. They have a story - perhaps like the real ones you will discover here - each destined to change the narrative, one human being, one voice at a time.

When people want to know about you, they'll listen to you tell your story. Many conversations begin with stories. When we were children, our parents told us stories. We heard about when they were kids, made up bedtime stories, or stories they read to us. Music and movies are stories. No matter where you go, there is a story. Your story goes with you. Whether you talk about it or write it down, your story is alive.

Life Between Heaven and Earth Guests are Jacquel Tucker and Christine & Andrew Morkert Jacquel Tucker is from the island of Jamaica, where she grew up in a rural community with her 8 siblings – the daughter of a pastor and her mother a youth director for 7 churches. She is a former Director of Sales and Marketing in the Hospitality industry in the USA with over 25 years of experience.  Today she is a business, brand, sales & marketing strategist for small businesses, aspiring entrepreneurs and nonprofits. Through her signature coaching and mentoring program, “My Purpose on Fire,” she has helped more than 70 professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs establish, brand, and launch their purpose-driven businesses or nonprofits for greater impact, income, and generational legacy. Jacquel and her husband Shun founded their nonprofit, The Jamaica Project USA, in 2016. Their mission is to transform rural schools and communities in Jamaica and serve lower-income communities in Georgia. She learned her biggest lesson in unshakeable faith from an early age. If God could raise her up from the dead, then he is exceedingly bigger than any of her circumstances, and anything is possible on her journey to “well done.” She lives daily believing, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”  Christine and Andrew Morkert reside in Chattanooga Tennessee. They just celebrated their 29th wedding anniversary and are planning a trip to Ireland for their 30th. This December will mark another anniversary...ten years of celebrating life after death. On December 1, 2014 life changed for Christine and Andrew when they walked into an emergency room, thinking that fluids and medication would help Christine overcome some flu-like symptoms. However, things quickly changed when both the nurse who had just seen Christine, and Andrew left the room briefly. When they returned back in, Christine was in distress and coded.  Medical professionals performed life-saving CPR measures to restore her back to life. Afterward, there continued to be a long diagnosis and very little hope for her life to continue. But God had other plans!!!! It was not until after about 40 days of miraculous healing that Christine returned home to her husband, Andrew, and their three children. Christine and her family will always declare that prayer and standing on the word of God is what brought them through their death to life story.

Welcome back to That Entrepreneur Show! Host Vincent A. Lanci recently had his 7th book release and 2nd as a Co-Author. The publisher behind the release, 10x Author and Founder Authentic Endeavors Publishing, Teresa Velardi, is here! If you enjoy this episode, please rate the show 5 stars and subscribe for future episodes with top-performing entrepreneurs!   Meet our Guest: Change is the one thing we can always count on  (whether we like it or not). All of us, at one time or another, experience change. It is an ongoing process; life itself is a continuous transformation. The last few years are living proof. In addition to being a coach, I am also a potter. The process of making pottery is such a great illustration of transformation. A ball of clay becomes a work of art!I've come to believe that personal and business growth comes from the willingness to do things differently while being open to all possibilities in the transformation process. More often than not, when we think life couldn't get any better or any more uncomfortable, something brings us to the next level of our growth, just like the strengthening of the clay in the fire. Afterward, we realize it all had to unfold exactly how it did to live our most authentic lives. Many of us have to reinvent ourselves in many areas, and I can help you get to where you need to be.  -You can enjoy her most recent episode on Writing with Authors here!-Publisher/ 10x Author/ Editor Teresa Velardi Joins the Writing with Authors-She also had the courage to share her journey on A Mental Health Break -Check us out on social media @ThatEntrepreneurShow on all platforms, and visit www.vincentalanci.com for more show and guest information. -Have a question for the host or guest?
