I don’t believe that you can heal your relationship with food or permanently change your eating in positive ways if you don’t address the emotional baggage of shame. So let’s talk about how to break the cycle of guilt, shame, and overeating.

You’d have to be superhuman not to have internalized some or all of these beliefs and influences. This episode is about how to break the cycle.

In this episode:

  • The shame/guilt/overeating cycle
  • Getting off the hamster wheel
  • Self-compassion and shame
  • Letting help in
