Transform Your Life with Teresa and Tonya
When Food Becomes a Weapon: Childhood Trauma, Body Image & Breaking Free
In this groundbreaking episode of Transform Your Life, Teresa and Tonya sit down with licensed clinical psychologist and best-selling author Dr. Sherrie Campbell to explore the connection between childhood trauma, narcissistic parents, and disordered eating. Together, they unpack the emotional wounds that many women carry into adulthood—and how those wounds manifest through food addiction, body image struggles, and toxic loyalty to family systems that never truly served them.
Dr. Sherrie shares her personal experience with anorexia, food noise, and what she calls the “emotional math” so many people use to justify shame and self-sabotage. Teresa and Tonya reflect on their own weight loss journeys, revealing the guilt, grief, and backlash they faced when choosing to heal—especially when that healing meant creating boundaries or cutting ties with family members.
This isn’t just a conversation about food or fat—it’s a radical, soul-deep discussion about reclaiming your life, your voice, and your body.
