The Real Reason You Feel the Need to Control Everything About Food (The Nervous System Series, Ep. 5)

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 02:00:00 -0400

You don't have a control problem. You have a nervous system that found control through food.

Episode 5 of the Nervous System Series is about the real reason behind the compulsion to track, restrict, and micromanage everything around food, including my own story of moving to university at 18, my nervous system hitting DEEP dysregulation, and realizing years later that what I thought was my personality was actually a strategy. A really effective, really painful, really exhausting strategy.

We go into why the brain keeps filing "control food = feel safer" even when you knowwww it's not logical, the loop where external control creates more dysregulation over time, why this bleeds into your to-do lists and your relationships and everywhere else, and what it actually means to rewire at the root rather than just get better at managing it.

You've wanted to let go for a long time. This episode is about why you haven't been able to, and what actually has to change.

Why "Just Listen to Your Body" Isn't Working For You (The Nervous System Series, Ep.4)

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 02:00:00 -0400

You've tried to "just listen to your body." And it either feels like silence, or static, or something comes through that feels way too scary or confusing to stay with. And then you wonder what is wrong with you, because this is supposed to be natural.

Nothing is wrong with you. But there are three very specific reasons why this feels impossible, and this episode breaks all of them down.

In Episode 4 of the Nervous System Series, we go into why survival mode literally turns off your body's signals, what years of overriding your hunger actually trained your brain to do, and why tuning inward can feel actively scary when your body is holding unprocessed emotions. We also cover the comfort zone, growth zone, panic zone framework, and why trying to do too much too fast always sends you straight back to where you started.

Intuitive eating is the destination. But there's a step that has to come first. This episode is about that step.

You're Not Broken With Food, Your Nervous System Is Dysregulated. Here's How to Tell (The Nervous System Series, Ep.3)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 02:00:00 -0400

You are not lazy. You're not a procrastinator. You don't "just lack willpower." Your nervous system is dysregulated, and once you can recognize that, your shame will start to lift.

In this episode, I walk through an audit - the physical, emotional, behavioral, and thought-pattern signs that you're living in survival mode without realizing it. Sleep that doesn't actually restore you. A harsh inner critic that gets meaner on hard days. Resting that feels more like exposure than relaxation. Racing thoughts at night, second-guessing every decision, looping on the same problem for the hundredth time.

None of this is your personality. It's a nervous system that's been dysregulated for a long time, with no one ever teaching it differently. This episode is step one: learning to recognize the signs, so you can start catching them earlier instead of waiting until you completely fall apart.

The 4 Nervous System States Running Your Relationship With Food (The Nervous System Series, Ep. 2)

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 02:00:00 -0400

The state of your nervous system impacts what, why and how you eat. It determines whether you can hear the signals of your body or not. It determines how you feel about yourself and your body.

So it is soooo important to:
1) be able to recognize which state you’re in

2) know how to bring yourself back to a regulated and present state

Roughly 70% of people in the Western world are walking around in a survival state and have NO idea. They just think it's their personality, but it's not.

In episode 2 of the Nervous System Series, I’m breaking down what what each state actually feels like in your body, exactly how it shows up at the table (emotional eating, gripping control tighter, eating one way in public and a totally different way alone), and why shame and willpower were never going to fix this.

It's Not a Food Problem. It's a Nervous System Problem (The Nervous System Series, Ep. 1)

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Your nervous system runs your relationship with food. Not your willpower. Not even how much you WANT to change. Your nervous system - and until you understand what's actually happening in your body, no strategy is going to stick long-term.

This is Episode 1 of the Nervous System Series, and it's the foundational episode: what your nervous system actually is, what it means to be chronically dysregulated, and exactly how that shows up in your relationship with food.

We cover what neuroception is and why your body is making threat assessments before your brain even has a chance to weigh in. What dysregulation actually looks like (it doesn't always look like stress). Why standing at the fridge at 10pm not even hungry isn't a willpower failure. And what a healthy nervous system actually is — because it's not about being calm all the time.

This episode is the "why" behind everything. Listen here first.

The 2026 Breakdown That Made Me Rebuild Myself and My Business

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Two and a half months ago, I had a breakdown bad enough that I had two choices: completely change how I was running my business, or quit.

I chose to rebuild myself, and every facet of how I was running my business (boy was it hard). And this episode is me finally telling you what that actually looked like.

For years, I had been normalizing monthly breakdowns. Curled up on the bed, crying for hours, convinced I was a failure. Luke holding me together. I thought it was just the cost of running a business. It wasn't. It was life throwing boulders at me trying to get my attention. I had received about 20 too many before I finally listened.

In this episode, I'm sharing the full story: how being the "good student" without trusting myself led me to build someone else's business, what my nervous system was doing even when I knew logically I was fine, and what the rebuild has actually looked like, including a 60% income increase that happened when I stopped pushing so hard.

These patterns aren't just mine. The perfectionism, the all-or-nothing, the looking outside yourself for answers while ignoring your own signals. That's exactly what's showing up in your relationship with food too. This episode is for anyone who has been running on empty and calling it discipline.

Why Can't I Stop Bingeing Even Though I Want To?

Wed, 03 Jun 2026 03:00:00 -0400

You don’t need more willpower to stop bingeing. You don’t even need to want it “badly” enough. You need to uncover what the binges are DOING for you.

In this episode, I sit down with a member of my community, Melissa, for a deep coaching over coffee session about binge eating, sugar cravings, and the pattern that keeps running no matter how much self-awareness she has. She knows what's happening. And it keeps happening anyway.

We get into:

Why you're not addicted to the food — you're addicted to the relief it gives you
Why you can eat balanced all morning and completely lose it by 4pm (this one will click something into place for you)
Why trying to make a different choice in the moment almost never works
The rehearsal technique that rewires your autopilot BEFORE you're in the trigger
What it means to teach your body that discomfort is survivable

This conversation is for the woman who's tired of knowing better and still not doing better.

Why the Way You've Been Taught to Build Habits Isn't Working for You w/ Monica Packer

Wed, 27 May 2026 02:00:00 -0400

How many times have you started a habit, felt good about it, and then watched it fall apart the second life got in the way? And then blamed yourself for it?

My guest today has spent 20 years studying exactly WHY that happens, and her answer is going to reframe the whole thing for you.

Monica Packer is a certified habits and identity coach, host of the top-rated podcast About Progress, and author of the upcoming book Sticky Habits: A Woman's Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last. She's also a 20-year eating disorder recovery warrior, which made this conversation feel SO real and grounded.

The big idea: the habit advice we've all been handed was built by and for people whose lives look nothing like ours. And because of invisible labor, women have less time, less energy, more interruptions, and less predictability than the system assumes. It was never going to work.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What the "underachieving perfectionist" actually looks like (and if you're one without knowing it)
Why standard consistency advice fails women, and how to redefine it
The ideal vs. baseline habit framework that makes you stop breaking habits for good
How every tiny baseline action rewires your identity
The one belief Monica wants every woman to walk away holding

3 Steps to Get Rid of the "Clean Your Plate" Mentality For Good

Wed, 20 May 2026 02:00:00 -0400

You know you’re full. Your body it’s had enough. And yet something takes over and you finish the plate anyway.

That's not a willpower problem. It's a pattern that got wired into your nervous system long before you were old enough to question it, so willpower was never going to be enough to touch it.

In this episode, I'm walking you through 3 specific steps to actually rewire the "clean your plate" mentality for good — not just override it occasionally, but unlearn it at the level where it actually lives.

We cover:

Where this pattern comes from
The specific mindsets driving the behavior now, including "getting my money's worth" and the scarcity belief that shows up even when food is plentiful
Why trying to change this in the moment almost never works, and what to do instead
How to rehearse your way out of old patterns before you're in them

Including the mindset shift that makes a big difference: your body is not a garbage can.

This pattern can be unlearned. Even if it's been with you for decades.

Why Part Of You Doesn't Actually Want Food Freedom

Wed, 13 May 2026 02:00:00 -0400

You can want something with your WHOLE heart and still have a part of you working against it.

I got back from my Sedona retreat a couple of days ago and I have been DYING to record this episode. Because what came out of that trip, I did not see coming.

I thought I'd released all the resistance around my goal. I'd been doing the work every single day for months. And then I sat around a fire with my two business girlfriends and completely fell apart, because I realized that part of me had attached achieving this goal to losing everyone I love, ending up alone, and somehow having to go into hiding after a Reddit thread.

I am not kidding. That is where my subconscious had taken me.

And if that sounds familiar, even a little? This episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why wanting a goal with everything you have doesn't mean all parts of you are on board
How your subconscious quietly attaches your goals to worst-case scenarios
The "follow the thread" exercise for finding the hidden fear driving your food patterns
Why your nervous system finds failure more comfortable than success
How to do a "software update" so your goal finally feels safe to achieve

If you've been stuck longer than makes sense, this one's going to make things click for you.

Healing From a 20-Year Undiagnosed Eating Disorder with Foster Wilson

Wed, 06 May 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Eating disorders don't often look like what you might picture in your mind.

We often dismiss what we're going through or experiencing because we're not "too thin" or needing to be hospitalized.

But as you’ll hear in today’s episode, you don’t have to look sick to be struggling.

I’m joined by Foster Wilson, a poet, postpartum doula, and podcast host whose work bridges creativity, care, and connection. After living with an undiagnosed eating disorder for over 20 years, Foster shares what it was really like to exist in the exhausting, all-consuming cycle of food noise, body shame, and perfectionism - all while appearing “fine” on the outside.

Foster’s journey toward recovery began when she finally realized that her so-called “healthy habits” were actually keeping her trapped. Through intuitive eating, nervous system healing, and radical self-compassion, she learned to rebuild trust with her body and redefine what nourishment truly means.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What it’s really like to live with a “hidden” eating disorder
How perfectionism and people-pleasing fuel food anxiety and control
Why letting go of food rules feels terrifying — and why that’s a good thing
How nervous system safety and self-compassion support food freedom
The healing power of vulnerability, creativity, and community

If you’ve ever wondered whether what you’re experiencing “counts” as disordered eating, or you’ve struggled to quiet the mental noise around food, this episode will remind you: you’re not broken, and it’s never too late to heal your relationship with food and your body.

How I Eat While Traveling (Without Anxiety or Needing To "Getting Back on Track")

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

If you've ever spent the weeks before a trip restricting, overexercising, and trying to "clean up" your eating — only to arrive and feel completely out of control around food — this episode is for you.

I know what it's like when a vacation creates more food anxiety than genuine excitement. When you're stressing about it WEEKS before you leave, eat in a way that feels chaotic once you're there, and come home already planning how to compensate. The trip is supposed to be the good part. And it's just... exhausting.

In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how I eat while traveling now — as someone who has genuinely healed her relationship with food. From travel days and nervous system regulation, to eating out without anxiety, to eating more than everyone at the table without making it mean anything.

I also talk about how I handle coming home — and why "getting back on track" now looks a lot more like slowing down than compensating.

This isn't a set of travel eating rules. It's a window into what's possible when food stops being the thing you have to manage, and just becomes… food.

She Went From Food & Exercise Obsessed (for 40 Years) to Eating With Complete Ease & Freedom — Stephanie's Story

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Stephanie had been navigating a complicated relationship with food and her body since she was 15.

On the outside, she had it “all together”. She was a teacher, a marathoner, an Ironman athlete - someone who got called disciplined and in control her whole life. For decades, she mostly convinced herself she was okay. But she wasn’t.

In this episode, Stephanie shares what four decades of disordered eating and compulsive exercise actually looked like - how it shifted shapes over the years, what finally pushed her to do something different, and what life is like now.

She talks about the messy middle of healing: letting go of the habits that kept you safe before anything replaces them. About going out for pizza and wings with friends and just... eating. Focused on the conversation, not the food.

And she talks about what she'd say to the woman who's been struggling so long she's quietly stopped believing it gets better.

"I thought I was going to die with this," she says.

She didn't. This one's for the woman who's starting to wonder if she will too.

How I Eat as a Recovered Disordered Eater (No Rules, Tracking or Guilt)

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to approach food with flexibility, ease and peace of mind?

To just…listen to your body, eat what sounds good, and move on with your day?

Well, this episode is going to show you! I'm taking you inside my internal world to share how I eat as a recovered disordered eater. Not WHAT I eat, exactly - but how I think about it. The filters behind my decisions. The difference between choosing from fear and choosing from self-knowledge.

I walk through a few days of eating, but the real takeaway isn't the food. It's the mindset behind it. One that took years to build, and that you can build too.

In this episode: why the same food choice can come from two completely different places, why "just listen to your body" advice falls flat for so many women, and what it looks like when eating decisions finally become effortless.

"How Do I Stop Numbing My Emotions With Food?"

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Most of us have been there. A hard day, a stressful afternoon, a moment where you're just…done. And before you've made any kind of conscious decision, you're in the kitchen. Eating something you didn't really plan to eat. Sometimes it feels chaotic and out of control.

And it helps! For about two minutes. And then it doesn't. And then the guilt shows up, the emotions you were trying to escape come back, and you feel worse than before.

If that loop sounds familiar, this episode is going to give you a completely different way to understand it.

Because this isn't about willpower. It isn't really about food either. There's actual neuroscience behind why emotional eating feels so impossible to break. And once you understand this, things will start to make a lot more sense.

In this episode, we cover:

Why you're not actually "addicted to food" and what you're ACTUALLY craving instead
The trigger–behavior–relief loop that makes emotional eating feel automatic and beyond your control
How this pattern forms, often starting in childhood, and why it has nothing to do with weakness
Why food takes up SO much space when it becomes your main source of comfort or relief
What the real goal is (hint: it's not better food control)
Two journal questions to help you start seeing your own pattern more clearly

If emotional eating has felt like something that just takes over no matter how hard you try, this episode is going to help you understand why. And that understanding is the beginning of actually changing it.

Why You Self-Sabotage When Things Are Going Well - And How to Stop

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 02:00:00 -0400

You know when you’ve had a good stretch? You feel like you’re making progress. Things are quieter around food. You're not thinking about it as much. You’re actually noticing…change.

But instead of relaxing into it, you find yourself waiting for it to fall apart. Waiting for the next shoe to drop.

One of our Food Freedom Academy members asked me about this recently. She'd been making real progress less than a month in and she said: I keep noticing I'm braced for failure. Is that normal?

Yes. And there's a specific reason it happens.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why you get pulled back into old patterns right when things start to shift. Your body isn't working against you - it's responding to something unfamiliar. And to your nervous system, unfamiliar and dangerous feel identical, even when one of them is healing.

You'll walk away understanding why the discomfort of progress is actually a sign the work is happening, what to do when your old identity starts making noise, and how to stay in the new without retreating to the old.

If you've ever had a good stretch and found yourself just waiting for it to end, this one's for you.

Physically, Mentally and Emotionally Healthy: What It Actually Takes To Get There w/ Courtney Townley

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0400

We hear it all the time…

“Just be consistent.”

“Just stick to the plan.”

“Just try harder.”

But what if the reason you feel inconsistent, stuck, or like nothing is really clicking… has nothing to do with your effort?

In this episode, I'm joined by Courtney Townley, women's health coach, host of the Grace & Grit podcast, and author of The Consistency Code - and we go way deeper than food, workouts, or routines.

We talk about what it actually means to be physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy… and why so many women feel like they’re doing everything “right” but still don’t feel good in their lives.

We live in a world of "info-besity." There's no shortage of protocols, plans, and programs telling you exactly what to eat, how to move, and who to be. And yet… you're still stuck. Still starting over. Still wondering why it feels so hard.

Because real health isn’t about following a perfect plan. It’s about learning how to lead yourself through a life that is constantly changing.

And if you’ve been stuck in cycles of starting over, feeling off track, or questioning yourself… this episode is going to completely transform your perspective.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

Why outsourcing your health keeps pulling you further from yourself — and what to do instead
The concept of "info-besity" and why more information is not the solution
The 4-part Consistency Code framework
What self-trust actually is (hint: it's a practice, not a personality trait)
Why busyness is often a hiding habit — and what you might really be avoiding
The campfire analogy that will completely reframe how you think about falling off track
Why you cannot criticize yourself healthy — and what the science says about it
The one small shift you can make today to start unburdening your nervous system

About Courtney Townley

Courtney has been helping women take better care of themselves with more consistency and ease for over 20 years. She teaches women how to rebuild their relationship with themselves so they can experience deep health, purpose, and impact. She’s the host of the Grace & Grit podcast and the author of The Consistency Code.

Is Your Nervous System Currently Too Fried To Change Your Patterns With Food?

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0400

If you’ve been trying to change your your relationship with food or eating habits… but feel like you keep repeating the same patterns no matter HOW HARD you try, this episode is going to show you why.

Because the issue that you don't have enough information or knowledge.

The issue is in.... your nervous system.

I'm about to share a deeply personal realization I made last week when I noticed that despite journaling, meditating, and “doing all the right things,” I still felt overwhelmed, stuck, and unable to shift certain patterns.

I finally realized what I was missing.

In this episode, you're going to learn:

• Why you can want change deeply but still feel unable to create it

• How a chronically stressed nervous system keeps old patterns in place

• The subtle signs your body is living in survival mode

• Why constant stimulation and busyness make healing harder

• The surprising role boredom and stillness play in real change

PLUS! At the end of the episode, I'm leaving you with an actionable challenge that's going to help regulate your nervous system, shift out of survival mode, think more clearly and finally start experiencing real change in your relationship with food.

How To Heal Your Metabolism After Years Of Dieting w/ Ashley Fillmore

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0400

“What if I’ve dieted for so long that I’ve permanently damaged my metabolism?”

This is a question I hear a lot. If you’ve spent years restricting, tracking, cutting carbs, pushing through hunger, over-exercising, … it makes sense that your body doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Maybe you’re exhausted.

Maybe you’re lifting weights but not building muscle.

Maybe you’re barely hungry all day… then ravenous at night.

Maybe the second you loosen control, your brain screams, “You’re going to gain everything back.”

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Fillmore - professional nutrition coach, health educator and certified personal training with nearly 20 years of experience helping women heal their metabolism , balance their hormones and achieve body-composition changes that last a lifetime.

We talk about:

• What “metabolic adaptation” really is

• Why chronic restriction down-regulates your metabolism

• The difference between intentional healing and chaotic rebound eating

• Why swinging from restriction to bingeing feels so awful

• Signs your metabolism needs support

• And the question everyone is afraid to ask: Is it repairable?

This conversation is so compassionate and science-informed. You're going to walk away knowing how to begin supporting your metabolism without obsessively tracking or white-knuckling your way through another plan.

3-Steps To Actually Separate Your Worth From Your Body

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0500

Chances are, that you are already abundantly aware that too much of your worth is attached to your body. Maybe...

Your mood changes depending on the number on the scale
You feel more confident on “good body” days and want to hide on “bad” ones
You believe you’ll finally feel worthy once you lose the weight
You postpone photos, dating, trips, clothes… until you look different
Compliments about your body feel like they give you life
Criticism about your body feels like a punch to the gut

And underneath all of that, there’s this quiet belief: “If my body isn’t good enough, I’m not good enough.”

This can feel like an incredibly difficult belief to dismantle, especially because it's likely been your driving force for years - or even decades.

You could try affirmations all day long, and a thousand people could repeat the phrase "your body is the least interesting thing about you", and yet... that honestly doesn't really help. The sentiment is nice, but at the end of the day, you still feel like your body changing is the worst thing that could ever happen to you.

So the natural question is :"how the heck do you ACTUALLY detach your worth from your body?"

...in a way that works. That's what we're talking about in this episode.

First, we're going to look at the ways in which this belief is actually getting in the way of your goal - which is to create a life of health, happiness, peace, joy and fulfilment. So...we have to rewire that.

And then, we're going to talk about how to actually separate your worth from your body: recognizing that your value as a human being is inherent and unchanging, regardless of your size, shape, weight, or how your body looks on any given day.

This is suchhhhh a good one! So let's get into it 🎙️

How To Break The “I’ll Get Back On Track Monday” Cycle

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0500

Are you someone who is locked in with food during the week? You're disciplined, structured, productive, following your eating plan, no "junk" food in the house... being "good"...

And then as Friday night hits, it's like a switch flips.

You can finally relax, allow yourself to have the foods you've been avoiding, and you end up eating in a way that doesn't feel great for your body throughout the entire weekend.

So you tell yourself: “It’s fine. I’ll just get back on track Monday.”

In this episode, we're talking about how this pattern might be showing you something deeper in your relationship with food and why it's something that we absolutely want to address.

I know this cycle very well, because I repeated it for years. What I didn't realize at the time is that it was keeping me stuck in fear, anxiety and lack of trust around food.

I talk about:

The fear of weight gain that keeps you gripping so tightly
Why avoiding certain foods keeps the fear alive
How bringing previously “trigger” foods back into your home actually builds trust
The carrot cake experiment Luke did that completely shifted his belief around losing control
Why your future self with food freedom is not stuck in this weekday/weekend divide

If you want to get to a point where you can enjoy ALL foods without any fear of losing control...

Where the weekends are just like any other day...

And where you truly have the balance and consistency that help you feel great in your body...

This episode is for you.

A New Way To Reconnect With Your Body's Wisdom & Intuition Again w/ Cassandra Bodzak

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0500

Most of us have been taught to live our lives according to what is the "right" or "wrong" thing to do.

We look to others. We compare. We copy. We see something that's working for someone else, so we try to replicate it.

But that keeps us disconnected from our own individuality. No two humans are designed the same. There's no one-size-fits-all approach to health, nutrition, movement, self-care, relationships, career, or really ANY area in our life.

We're all unique. And the only way to create a life that lights you up - that makes sense for you, that feels good, that aligns with your purpose and your genetic makeup - is through your body and intuition.

Your body has infinite wisdom, and it's always ready to communicate with you. But most of us have never been taught how to listen.

So in this episode, I'm joining by Cassandra Bodziak - mindfulness author, holistic wellness guide, and the author of The Mindful Table - to talk about how to reconnect with your body’s wisdom and intuition after years of dieting, overriding yourself, and outsourcing trust to rules, plans, and “experts.”

You're going to learn:

Why intuition isn’t a personality trait but a skill you can relearn
How dieting trains you to override your body’s signals
Why hunger, cravings, and fatigue are forms of communication, not problems to fix
Practical strategies to build trust with your body again
How food struggles soften when your body finally feels heard

If you’ve been wanting to stop outsourcing your life decisions and start trusting yourself, this conversation is for you.

The Biggest Limiting Belief Sabotaging Your Food Freedom

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0500

If you’ve been trying to heal your relationship with food for years (or decades), and you’re still not where you want to be, this episode is for you. Because today we’re talking about a invisible belief that lives so deep, most women don’t even realize it’s running the show.

I dive into why your nervous system has built protective armor after years of false starts, “failed” diets, and the kind of hope that felt amazing… until it turned into disappointment, shame, and another Monday restart.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

The simple question that exposes your default future (and what it reveals about your subconscious beliefs)
Why your brain uses the past to predict the future, even when it keeps you stuck
The 6 sneaky ways the “I can’t change” belief sabotages your progress
- turning a hard day into “I failed”
- filtering for proof you’re doing poorly (hello, RAS)
- avoiding support or not fully implementing it
- getting stuck in research mode instead of action mode
- looking for a way out instead of getting curious
- not allowing wins to actually sink in
The “guardian of your mind” that will delete, distort, or generalize your progress so it can stay right
Why this isn’t about motivation, it’s about safety (and the hot stove analogy you’ll never un-hear)

Journal prompts

If the part of me that doesn’t believe change is possible could talk, what is she afraid would happen if I started to believe I could truly heal my relationship with food?
What do I secretly believe about myself and food that I’ve never said out loud (or never let myself fully look at)?

How To Overcome The Fear Of Eating More

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 02:00:00 -0500

If you’ve ever thought, “I know I should eat more… so why does the idea of it freak me out?” this episode is for you.

Maybe you’re rigid with calories or portions.

Maybe you’re constantly hungry, tired, or thinking about food.

Maybe you’re technically eating what you’ve been told is “enough,” but your body is saying otherwise.

And yet, when you even think about eating more, your chest tightens. Panic kicks in. Fear takes over.

In this episode, we’re talking about why that happens and why it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline.

I’m breaking down:

Why MOST women are not actually under-eating without knowing it
The two types of under-eating most women don’t realize they’re stuck in
Why not eating enough creates constant food noise, cravings, and exhaustion
The difference between knowing you need to eat more and actually being able to do it
Why your nervous system might interpret eating more as a threat
How control around food becomes a safety strategy
What actually helps you move through the fear without forcing yourself

If eating LESS has felt safer than eating enough…

This episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface and how to begin creating safety with food again, so that you can:

→ Reduce food noise and constant hunger

→ Have more energy, focus and concentration

→ Reduce cravings and binges

→ Reduce brain fog

→ Meet your fitness goals

And overall, feel SO much better throughout your day.

"I Tried Every Diet for 30 Years. THIS Is What Actually Healed My Relationship With Food"

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 02:00:00 -0500

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve tried everything… why is food still so hard for me?” this episode is for you.

title: "I Tried Every Diet for 30 Years. This Is What Actually Healed My Relationship With Food"

In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Mandie, a former long-term dieter, perfectionist, mom, and high-achiever who spent over 30 years managing her weight, controlling food, and trying to “do it right”… yet still felt trapped by food obsession, binge cycles, and constant mental noise.

Mandie shares what it was like to:

Start dieting at 10 years old with the best intentions
Spend decades bouncing between control and loss of control
Do “well” in every area of life except food
Feel terrified to let go of rules because control felt safer than trust
Realize the problem was never food or willpower, but nervous system dysregulation and self-trust

We talk about the uncomfortable middle of healing. The part no one prepares you for. Feeling emotions instead of eating them. Resting without guilt. Gaining a little weight before finding your body’s natural balance. Learning to trust yourself again after years of outsourcing that trust to plans, points, and rules.

This episode is not about quick fixes or perfect eating.

It’s about what actually creates peace.

It’s about why healing feels hard before it feels freeing.

And it’s about why you’re not broken, lazy, or failing, even if it feels that way right now.

If you’re exhausted from white-knuckling food, tired of starting over, and wondering if real freedom is still possible for you, this conversation will remind you that it is.

And sometimes, the next step isn’t another plan.

It’s support, safety, and learning how to trust yourself again.

"Why Am I Still Struggling With Food After Doing SO MUCH Work On It?"

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 02:00:00 -0500

Do you feel like you've been doing everything you can do change your experience with food, yet you're still not where you want to be?

Maybe you’ve read the books. Listened to the podcasts. Done the journaling, the mindset work, the healing work.

And yet… you’re still overeating or obsessing over food constantly.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why that's happening, and no, it’s not because you’re broken, lazy, or doing it wrong.

You’ll hear the core insight that completely changed everything for me and finally explained why I stayed stuck for so long, even when I was “doing all the right things.” It’s a perspective shift that brings so much clarity, relief, and honestly… hope.

We talk about:

Why effort alone doesn’t always lead to lasting change with food
How your default way of thinking, feeling, and showing up around food may be recreating the same patterns
The difference between changing what you do versus changing who you’re being
Why focusing on the past can quietly keep you stuck in it
A simple but powerful reflection exercise to help you see what’s really going on beneath the surface

This conversation is not about judgment or fixing yourself. It’s about awareness, compassion, and finally understanding the real reason change hasn’t stuck yet. If you’re tired of starting over and want food to feel easier, calmer, and less consuming, this episode will help things click in a whole new way.

Does this pattern feel familiar to you?

You go on a diet/restrict food to lose weight
You feel deprived and your cravings for foods you "shouldn't" have increase
You give in to temptation and eat the "off-limit" food. You might think to yourself "I shouldn't be having this", so you eat quickly and don't quite enjoy the food. You probably eat a lot because you think "“What the hell. I’ve had one I might as well have the whole thing".

How Perfectionism Is Quietly Ruining Your Relationship With Food & Your Body w/Jennifer Delliquadri

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Perfectionism isn’t just about color-coding your pantry or needing straight-A’s. It’s the quiet, relentless voice that tells you you’re never doing enough, being enough, or eating “good” enough.

In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Delliquadri, a Midlife Fitness Coach who helps women rewrite the stories they’ve been telling themselves about their body, their habits, and what’s truly possible after 40. Her work blends mindset, movement, and mindful habit change to help women build strength, confidence, and ease in their bodies—without burnout or perfectionism.

Together, we unpack how perfectionism hides behind control, over-functioning, and “doing everything right,” while silently fueling anxiety, food obsession, and dissatisfaction in your body. Jennifer shares her own powerful story of hitting burnout, rediscovering herself in midlife, and learning how to feel good in her body without chasing numbers, rules, or approval.

You’ll learn how to:

Recognize the sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in your health and eating habits
Rebuild trust with your body (even when it’s changing in midlife)
Stop turning every wellness goal into another “project” to perfect
Bring curiosity and compassion into your food and body journey
Start feeling good again—without guilt, control, or overthinking

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing everything right… so why don’t I feel better?” — this conversation will be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

Tune in if you struggle with:

All-or-nothing thinking around food or exercise
Feeling disconnected from your body after years of dieting or overachieving
Midlife body changes, perimenopause, or burnout
Letting go of control and trusting yourself again

6 Reasons Food Feels Harder At The End Of The Year

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Let's be hones...December is challenging. You might find yourself more anxious around food, thinking about your body more, overeating more often or slipping back into old patterns you thought you were done with.

Let's talk about why.

It's not because you're failing.

You’re not going backwards.

You’re not suddenly terrible at intuitive eating.

There's just so many unique challenges that come with the month of December that most people don't talk about.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 6 real reasons why food feels harder at the end of the year. These reasons have nothing to do with willpower… and everything to do with your nervous system, emotions, routine, and the pressure you’re carrying.

If you're asking yourself things like...

“Why am I binge eating during the holidays?”
“Why do I overeat at night in December?”
“How do I stop emotional eating when I'm stressed?”
“Why am I thinking about food ALL THE TIME?”

…this one’s for you ❤️

Send me a DM on Instagram @sabrina.magnan.health and tell me which reason hit the hardest. I love hearing from you!

How To Let Go Of Control & Have More Peace In Your Life

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

If you’ve ever felt yourself clenching your way through life - micromanaging every detail, obsessing over getting it “right,” trying to predict every possible outcome so nothing feels scary or uncertain - you already know how exhausting the grip of control can be.

It feels like you’re holding everything together… while quietly falling apart inside. You don't trust yourself, others or the world around you.

And yet, letting go?

That somehow feels even scarier.

In this episode, we’re unpacking that push-pull dynamic - the part of you that wants more peace and freedom, and the part of you that’s terrified to release the reins.

You’ll hear the real story of a moment that shoved me right into the heart of my own control patterns, and the unexpected experience that finally helped me soften, surrender, and trust myself in a deeper way.

Together, we'll dive into it:

The hidden link between perfectionism, anxiety, food obsession, and the need to control
How your nervous system decides what feels “safe” and why it resists change
Why you default to micromanaging food, your body, or your routine
The breathwork moment that cracked something open for me
Small, low-stakes ways to practice letting go in everyday life

Letting go isn’t one dramatic leap.

It’s a series of tiny releases.

And those small shifts slowly rewrite everything.

I hope this episode brings you the permission, compassion, and practical tools you’ve been needing.

If it resonates, send it to someone who also lives in “hyper-vigilant, must-hold-it-all-together” mode. They’ll feel so seen.

Spirituality And Finding Peace With Food And Your Body w/ Marla Mervis-Hartmann

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

What if your struggles with food and body image weren’t really about food or your body at all?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by author, TEDx speaker, reiki Master and body-love coach Marla Mervis-Hartmann to explore the deeper layers of healing - where spirituality, self-compassion, and divine connection meet our relationship with food.

Together, we talk about:

✨ Why dieting and shame are never meant to work—and what actually does

✨ How spirituality can bring waves of compassion, forgiveness, and hope to your healing journey

✨ The difference between ego-driven “instant gratification” and true soul-aligned pleasure

✨ How to become your own best friend (instead of your own bully)

✨ Practical ways to slow down, reconnect to your intuition, and invite spirit into those moments when food feels overwhelming

This isn’t just about stopping the binge–restrict cycle. It’s about remembering that you are guided, held, and already enough - exactly as you are.

If you’ve ever feared that being “too nice” to yourself will mean you’ll lose control, this episode will completely reframe the way you approach self-love, food, and life.

"Why Am I So Triggered?" How To Understand Your Triggers & Turn Them Into Teachers

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Being triggered... sucks. A LOT.

It feels like your whole body gets hijacked in an instant, as if an old wound you didn’t know was still there suddenly grabs the wheel and convinces you you’re not safe.

And if you've been in situations lately that have sent you down an anxiety spiral, you're not alone friend.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a very real, very human moment that pushed me right up against the edge of my comfort zone. The kind of moments where your nervous system feels like it’s sprinting a marathon, your ego is giving you terrible advice, and your brain decides to resurrect a bunch of old insecurities you thought you buried years ago.

Fun times.

But here’s the truth I want you to walk away with.

Your triggers are not punishments. They’re invitations.

They’re here to help you see the thoughts, beliefs, and survival patterns that are still running the show… so you can finally let them go.

Inside this episode, we get into:

Why you get triggered by things you swear you’ve already worked through
How your nervous system responds to fear, food, body image, social situations and feeling “not good enough
The real reason your ego tells you to stay home, avoid the event, cancel the dinner and shrink your world
How to pause, regulate, and shift your perspective when you’re spiraling
Why your healing and identity expansion will ALWAYS bring up discomfort
How to turn triggering moments into proof of your growth instead of evidence you’re broken
What it actually looks like to let go of control so you can cultivate self trust and emotional regulation
How this relates to intuitive eating, body image healing and breaking out of old food patterns

This is the episode I wish I had 10 years ago when I felt like every difficult emotion meant I was “failing.”

You’ll leave with a whole new way of seeing your triggers… and a lot more compassion for the parts of you that are still learning to feel safe.

Exercise Addiction: 7 Signs Your Relationship With Exercise Needs Healing

Wed, 12 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

If you’ve ever felt anxious skipping a workout, guilty resting, or found yourself “earning” food through exercise, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re unpacking exercise addiction: what it really looks like, how to recognize when your relationship with movement has crossed the line, and most importantly, how to begin healing it so that you can move your body in a way that feels good, is flexible and is rooted in self-love not fear.

Because yes, exercise can be incredible for your physical, emotional, and mental health. But when it’s driven by guilt, fear, or control, it can quietly start doing more harm than good.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

7 specific signs your relationship with exercise might be unhealthy
Why it’s so important to heal this pattern (and how it connects to food, body image, and self-worth)
The 3-step process to rebuild a healthy, peaceful, and flexible relationship with movement - one that’s rooted in love, not punishment

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Is it okay that I feel anxious missing a workout?”
“How do I stop exercising out of guilt?”
“Can I trust myself to rest without losing motivation?”

You’re going to want to hear this one.

Because true health isn’t about how often you move—it’s about the energy behind why you move.

The 5-Step Process To Stop Mentally Counting Calories For Good

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

If you can’t stop doing mental math every time you eat - adding up calories in your head, planning your next meal based on what you’ve already had, or feeling anxious when you don’t know the numbers - this episode is for you.

Today, I’m walking you through my 5-step process to stop mentally counting calories so you can finally eat from a place of trust instead of control. You’ll learn how to calm the anxiety that shows up when you’re not tracking, how to retrain your brain to focus on what your body needs rather than what the numbers say, and how to enjoy food again without guilt.

I’ve been there - I used to track everything in MyFitnessPal, and I could tell you exactly how many calories were in a tablespoon of peanut butter. Even years later, that information is still tucked away in my mind... but it no longer controls me. That’s the kind of freedom I want for you.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

Why your brain clings to calorie counting even when you consciously want to stop
How meditation and mindfulness help you gain control over your thoughts (and stop believing every anxious thought your brain throws at you).
How to identify and challenge the calorie-counting thoughts that trigger guilt, fear, and “I’ve ruined everything” moments.
A simple reframing practice to come back to the present moment and ask, “What do I want right now?” instead of “What should I eat?”
Why repetition rewires your brain , and how practicing these steps daily slowly quiets the mental calorie math for good.

The Truth About Grief, Food & Emotional Survival w/ Krista St-Germain

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Grief changes everything - from how you feel in your body, to how you relate to food, to how you move through the world.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Krista St-Germain, grief expert, master coach, and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast. After losing her husband suddenly in a tragic accident, Krista found herself navigating a kind of grief that no one had prepared her for - and realized the traditional “stages of grief” weren’t cutting it.

Now, she helps others move through loss with more self-compassion, clarity, and emotional resilience.

In this episode, we talk about:

What grief really looks like
How grief impacts your body, brain, hormones, and emotional regulation
Why food becomes a common coping mechanism - and what to do instead
The dual process model of grief (loss-oriented and life-oriented healing)
How to tell if a coping tool is numbing or actually nurturing you
What “post-traumatic growth” really means - and how to access it

Whether you're grieving a person, a relationship, a version of yourself—or even just feeling like you're emotionally surviving one day at a time - this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and more grounded in your own healing journey.

Because food might be part of how you're surviving - but it doesn't have to be the only way. And healing doesn't mean "moving on." It means moving with love, gentleness, and intention.

The Secret To Getting Rid Of Food Guilt That No One Talks About

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Food guilt is exhausting.

That constant replay in your head after you eat - telling yourself you did something bad, regretting your choices, promising to “be better” tomorrow, feeling like you have to make up for it - it keeps you stuck in shame and disconnection from your body.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth about food guilt - what it really is, where it comes from, and why it’s not actually helping you feel “in control.”

Because you can’t heal what you don’t understand.

You’ll learn:

Where food guilt comes from = and how diet culture, perfectionism, and fear of losing control have shaped the way you feel about eating
Why guilt doesn’t serve you - even if it feels like it keeps you disciplined or “on track”
What food guilt actually creates - like shame, disconnection, and the restrict–binge cycle
How to shift your perspective - so you can experience the best-case scenario of peace, trust, and true food freedom

If you’ve ever thought, “I need to feel guilty so I don’t lose control,” this episode will completely shift the way you see yourself and your relationship with food.

"Why Do I Binge Even Though I Know It's Going To Make Me Feel Awful?"

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever found yourself mid-binge thinking, “I know this isn’t going to make me feel better… so why can’t I stop?” , this episode will hit home. And it's not your fault.

You’re not broken or lacking willpower. There’s a deeper reason your brain keeps pulling you back to food, even when you “know better.”

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The real reason you can’t “just stop” binge eating, and why logic alone won’t fix it
What’s happening in your nervous system and subconscious mind when a binge takes over
How food becomes your emotional safety net (and how to build new ones that don’t involve food)
The dopamine reward loop that keeps you stuck in the same pattern , and how to break it
Why the “I’ve already messed up, so screw it” mindset keeps you trapped in the restrict-binge cycle

You’ll walk away understanding that binge eating isn’t a lack of discipline. it’s a nervous-system response rooted in safety, survival, and subconscious conditioning. Once you understand that, you can finally stop fighting yourself and start healing.

Key takeaways:

Your conscious mind (the part that “knows better”) only makes up 5% of your brain. The other 95%- your subconscious - runs the show.
When you binge, your body isn’t trying to sabotage you. It’s trying to protect you from discomfort, anxiety, or emotional pain.
Food = safety until you build new ways to regulate your emotions.
Dopamine drives repetitive behaviors - even if they cause pain. That’s why “guilt” doesn’t stop the cycle.
Healing binge eating starts with compassion, awareness, and nervous-system regulation, not more restriction.

From Obsessing Over Food to Being Fully Present & Free

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Have you ever felt like you’ve tried everything - therapy, different coaches, every diet under the sun, all the research and “new ideas” - and yet food still feels like it has this grip on your life?

That’s exactly where Amanda was.

She had made progress, but the lingering struggles were still there:

Using food for comfort, boredom, or numbing
Avoiding social situations because food was involved
Feeling distracted from being fully present with her son
Longing to “finally clear it all up” once and for all

In today’s episode, you’ll hear her story of how she went from that place…

…to living in a completely different reality.

She no longer turns to food to fill a void, cope, or escape.
She has stopped bingeing
She no longer has fear foods and can eat whatever she wants without guilt
She knows herself and what makes her body feel good
She feels safe, intuitive, and truly free - both with food and within herself.

This episode is proof that freedom is possible , even if you’ve tried it all before and still feel stuck.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can actually reach a place where food doesn’t consume your energy anymore, where you feel safe to rest, to be with yourself, and to live fully present - this conversation will show you what’s possible.

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Do you feel totally in control with food at home… but then everything goes out the window at social events? If so, this episode is for you my friend.

In this Coaching over Coffee session, we explore what really drives that feeling of losing control with sweets at parties, birthdays, and social outings. Together, we uncover why she still feels the urge to overeat “treat” foods, even though she knows how to eat intuitively.

You’ll hear me break down the mindset that keeps certain foods feeling special or “off-limits,” and the small (but powerful) shifts that can help you stay grounded in these moments, without missing out on the joy of the experience.

We also dive into:

What to do when people-pleasing drives your eating decisions
How to move from knowing intuitive eating to actually living it
A simple strategy to enjoy dessert without that panicked urgency
Why your goal isn't perfect eating, but showing up as your future self

This one’s filled with tangible tools and gentle mindset reframes to help you build trust, feel good in your body, and eat in a way that aligns with the life you’re creating!

The FASTEST Way To Get Unstuck & Reclaim Your Peace With Food For Good

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Every day that you don’t move towards your goal of a healthier relationship with food, you are wasting time, energy and your peace of mind.

This week, I was reminded about HOW much is on the line when you don’t take your own healing seriously.

This past week, I made some mistakes (yep, even coaches do) that left me in a LOT of pain today. But instead of just beating myself up, I pulled the lessons from it, because pain is only wasted if we don’t use it to grow.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

The bad decisions I made and how they spiraled into unnecessary pain
The key lessons I wish I’d applied sooner (so you don’t repeat my mistakes)
How to protect your money, time, energy, and peace of mind
Practical shifts you can start using today to get unstuck and finally move in the right direction

If you’ve been feeling stuck, repeating old patterns, or wondering why change feels so hard - this episode will show you the fastest way to redirect your energy toward real peace and freedom.

"Can I Heal My Relationship With Food And Still Want to Lose Weight?"

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 02:00:00 -0400

I got this amazing question in my instagram DMs this week:

"Is it bad to have a preference for how your body looks? To want a leaner body that's still healthy and still have freedom with food?"

You've probably asked yourself that same question, or a variation like...

“Does wanting weight loss mean I’m not truly committed to food freedom?”
“Am I even able to pursue intuitive eating if I want to lose weight?”
“Am I sabotaging my healing because of the desire to lose weight?”

So in this episode, we're answering that question! Let's dive in.

The Truth About GLP-1s & the Missing Piece No One Talks About w/ Eliza Kingsford, LPC

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 02:00:00 -0400

We are finally talking about GLP-1s!

GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Wegovy are everywhere right now… and if you're curious, confused or concerned about them - I don't blame you. And today, we're demystifying it.

I'm sitting down with licensed psychotherapist, best-selling author, mind-body practitioner, and trauma-informed weight-management specialist, Eliza Kingsford. We're unpacking the truth about GLP-1s - how they actually work in the body, what the research is showing, and the surprising ways they affect food cravings, appetite, and even our brain’s reward system.

This isn’t your typical black-and-white “these drugs are good or bad” kind of talk. Eliza and I go deeper and unpack:

What’s really happening in your body when you’re on GLP-1s (hint: it’s not the drug itself causing weight loss).
The surprising side effects no one really talks about
Why taking the meds without focusing on protein, muscle, and movement can actually backfire.
How these drugs intersect with eating disorders, body image, and self-worth.
Why a holistic approach is the only way to create freedom that actually lasts.

At the end of the day, this episode is about cutting through the noise and giving you the nuance and truth so you can make the best decision for your health, your body, and your peace of mind.

How To Keep Going When You’re Ready To Give Up on Food Freedom

Wed, 10 Sep 2025 02:00:00 -0400

You ever have those weeks (or months) where you just feel like CRAP? You feel like you're not moving forward, you're stuck in the same patterns, and you're frustrated because you can't coming back to "square 1".

My dear, I GET it.

Healing isn’t a straight line, and that’s a good thing.

In this episode, I share the real, non-linear nature of healing and why setbacks don’t mean you’re failing or back at square one. You’ll hear my own story of how I’ve shortened my recovery dips from months to just days, plus powerful lessons on how to shift your perspective, question your thoughts, and choose empowering meanings when life gets hard.

I also share:

How to reframe setbacks so they lose their power over you
The inspiring story of Emma Grede, who went from poverty to becoming CEO of multiple companies
Why “little discomforts” are actually early lessons meant to guide you (if you listen)
The mindset shift that helps you set boundaries, grow stronger, and move forward faster
How to know when something in your life no longer aligns- and what to do about it

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of two steps forward, one step back, this episode will remind you that your dips aren’t as deep as they used to be, and that every challenge can become fuel for your freedom.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, pause here and go back to that first - you’ll get the foundation that makes today’s episode even more powerful.

In this follow-up, I’m diving into the remaining lessons I brought home from my business + personal development retreat in California. These aren’t just “nice ideas” - they’re perspective-shifting truths that will help you create a life of peace, freedom, and success on your own terms.

Here’s what you'll learn today:

Why your words carry more power than you think (and how integrity amplifies them)
How your life is a mirror of your inner state, and what that reflection is showing you
The real meaning of personal power (and how to stop leaking it away)
Why your ego is sneakier than you realize (and how to spot it before it sabotages you)
Why helping women step into their power is the most important work we can do to change the world

This episode is an invitation to look honestly at your life, notice where you’re giving your power away, and reclaim the truth that you are so much more capable than you’ve been led to believe.

You’ll walk away with:

A deeper understanding of how your words + integrity shape your reality
A new lens for seeing your triggers as mirrors for your own growth
Permission to stop waiting until you “believe” in yourself and start acting like the powerful woman you already are

If you’ve ever felt like you keep playing small, doubting yourself, or giving more weight to other people’s opinions than your own truth , this conversation will be the fire you need.

8 Lessons Learned From The Happiest & Most Successful People I Know (Part 1)

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 02:00:00 -0400

I just got back from spending 3 days surrounded by some of the happiest and most successful people I know - and let me tell you, the breakthroughs I had were nothing short of life-changing.

Here’s what I realized: the people we admire the most (those who radiate peace, freedom, and joy) didn’t get there by luck. They got there by doing the hard, uncomfortable inner work that most people avoid. And from being in that room, I walked away with 8 powerful lessons that will change how you see yourself, your relationships, and your definition of success.

In this first part of a 2-part series, I’m sharing the first 2 big lessons that shook me to my core (and that you need to hear right now):

✨ Why you get to define what success means - and how chasing someone else’s version will always leave you feeling empty

✨ The truth about where your real value comes from (hint: healed people will never value you for something external)

This episode is part vulnerable story, part perspective-shifting reminder - and it will give you permission to stop hustling for worthiness and start creating a life that actually feels aligned.

If you’ve ever struggled with:

Comparing yourself to others and never feeling “enough”
Basing your worth on your body, income, or achievements
Feeling like an outsider or like you don’t belong

…then this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath of truth and relief.

This is only part one, so make sure you tune in next week for the rest of the lessons that will expand how you see yourself and what’s possible for your life.

How Your Romantic Relationship Might Be Blocking Your Growth (Without You Realizing It)

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Let's talk romantic relationships. Most importantly - how to have a healthy and connected relationship that support your growth and healing.

You can be doing all the inner work - healing your relationship with food, building self-trust, trying to feel more grounded in your body…

But if your relationship feels disconnected, heavy, or misaligned? It can quietly stall your healing in ways you might not even notice.

In today’s powerful convo, I’m joined by Libby Finlayson, a master mindset and relationship coach who goes deep on the emotional patterns that quietly unravel our health, self-worth, and connection.

We talk about the things that aren’t always easy to say out loud: the resentment that builds up, the moments you find yourself “mothering” your partner, the fear of outgrowing someone you once loved deeply.

Inside, we chat about:

Why your relationship absolutely plays a role in your food and body healing
The health cost of staying in disconnection (aka the “silent divorce”)
How resentment builds (and what to do about it)
Why “over-managing” your partner creates more harm than good
How to feel empowered even if your partner isn’t growing with you
Navigating divorce, shame, and coming back home to yourself
What to say when you don’t know how to say it

This one’s a must-listen for anyone craving more connection, ease, and emotional safety in their relationships.

How Do I Go On Vacation & Enjoy Food Without Guilt Or Losing Control?

Wed, 13 Aug 2025 02:00:00 -0400

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to enjoy food on vacation… but I don’t want to come back feeling bloated, gross, and like I need to "get back on track’” - this episode is for you.

I used to obsess about food every time I traveled. Either I was stressing about how to “be good” or I’d throw all my intentions out the window and eat everything in sight, then feel awful about it.

But that doesn’t happen anymore.

Now, I actually enjoy my food and feel good in my body while I’m away , and in this episode, I’m showing you exactly how I do it.

We chat about:

How to find the sweet spot between freedom and feeling good on vacation
What to do when you're hungry all the time while traveling (it’s normal!)
How to stop the “f*ck it” eating spiral without swinging into restriction
Why snacking all day doesn’t work - and what to do instead
How to feel empowered (not anxious) around buffets, snacks, and indulgent foods

I also walk you through what I personally eat when I travel, how I prep for early flights and long days, and how I stay grounded without being rigid.

If you loved this, share it with a friend who’s traveling soon.

And remember: you’re allowed to enjoy food and feel good in your body. Always. 💫

Why Food & Body Struggles Aren’t Willpower Problems

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 02:00:00 -0400

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why trying to “just be more disciplined” around food, eating habits, or body image struggles never works for long - and why that’s not a personal failure. It’s actually your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect you.

We’ll explore:

What willpower actually is
Why bingeing, overeating, and food obsession are not bad habits - but protective survival patterns
The real reason you can’t just “stick to it” when it comes to food
What works instead
The difference between pushing through and healing from the root

This episode will shift the way you see your patterns, understand why you're feeling stuck and help you let go of the shame so you can finally start building a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

My Honest Thoughts On The “Intuitive Eating” Movement

Wed, 30 Jul 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Today I’m sharing my unfiltered thoughts on the “Intuitive Eating” movement. The good, the bad, and the confusing.

Because while intuitive eating completely changed my life…

There are parts of the online space that don’t sit right with me.

In this episode, I open up about why the term “intuitive" eating can actually push people away from healing, the nuance I think is missing in mainstream conversations and what I align with me today.

How To Delete A Diet Rule From Your Mind for Good

Wed, 16 Jul 2025 02:00:00 -0400

We all know those rules and rituals we follow with eating that are driven by anxiety, and a need to feel "safe".

Rules like "no eating before 12pm" or "I can't put anything in my coffee" or "no drinking liquid calories". When you've been dieting or restricting for a while, the rules accumulate and make the eating experience rigid, stressful and anxiety-producing.

Chances are, you want to have more flexibility and freedom. You know it would actually serve you. But you can't get yourself to actually break your rules without spiraling into chaos.

In this episode, we’re breaking that sh*t down.

I’m walking you through exactly how to identify, challenge, and delete one of those unhelpful diet rules that’s been infecting your mind.

Whether it's “I can’t eat carbs at night” or “I have to be good during the week,” these sneaky little rules fuel the all-or-nothing cycle that keeps you stuck.

You’ll learn:

Why breaking a food rule is way more than just “eating the thing”
How to dismantle the beliefs that make you feel scared and out of control
What to do in the moment when anxiety kicks in
How to rewire your brain so the rule actually loses its power - for good

What food rule are you ready to break? DM me on Instagram @sabrina.magnan.health, I'd love to hear !

Want to Stop Feeling Anxious Around Food? Do This.

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 02:00:00 -0400

If you’ve been clinging to control because you’re convinced it’s the only thing keeping you safe and "in check", this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving into something that keeps so many women stuck: the exhausting anxiety around food, body image, and needing to control everything.

In this episode, you're learning:

Why letting go of control around food (or anything else) feels downright terrifying—and what your nervous system has to do with it
How practicing small, doable experiments (instead of trying to overhaul everything overnight) actually re-trains your brain to feel safe
Why knowing isn’t the same as doing, and why you’ll never feel ready until you start anyway

We’ll also get into the power of short-term habits, like a 7-day challenge to prove to yourself that you can do the hard and uncomfortable thing you've been pushing off, and the world won’t end.

If you're ready to finally surrender and let go of behaviours that aren't serving you anymore, let's jump in!

Letting Go Of Control, Fear & Food Rules To Come Home To Self-Trust

Wed, 18 Jun 2025 02:00:00 -0400

What if the reason you're still struggling with food... has nothing to do with food at all?

If you’ve ever found yourself constantly second-guessing what to eat, overthinking your health choices, or chasing the “perfect” routine - only to feel more anxious, confused, and disconnected than ever- you’re going to feel so seen in this conversation.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Amanda, a member of Food Freedom Academy, as she bravely shares her personal story of healing her relationship with food and her body. From childhood messaging around weight loss to struggling with control, fear, and food obsession, Amanda opens up about what it’s really like to unravel years of conditioning - and what it looks like to start coming back home to yourself.

We talk about :

The quiet pressure to always “get it right” with food, health, and body image
What happens when diet culture erodes your ability to trust yourself
Why chasing external goals often leaves you feeling more disconnected
The sneaky ways fear and guilt show up—even in activities that should feel good
How Amanda is learning to let go of the rules, tune back into her intuition, and prioritize peace

This is going to teach you what it means to choose presence over pressure. And it’s a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t have to look like doing more - it often looks like slowing down, softening, and surrendering the fear.

If you’re ready to stop living in your head and start feeling safe in your body again…this one’s for you.

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 02:00:00 -0400

You’re healing. You're doing the inner work.
You're finally eating without guilt, tracking, or obsessing.
But then… you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror.

Inside, I talk about:

Why missing your old body doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong
The emotional and psychological weight we attach to smaller bodies (and how to start unpacking it)

How to ground yourself in truth when your brain wants to panic

If you’ve ever felt like binge eating just happens—like you lose control, and afterward you’re left wondering “Why did I do that?”—this episode is for you.

Because what if binge eating isn’t a failure of willpower...

But a wise, protective response from a body that’s trying to help you feel safe?

How To Handle Summer Body Anxiety Without Spiraling Into Diet Mode

Wed, 14 May 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Summer is around the corner.

The hot weather, the BBQs, swimsuits, pool parties...

And if that brings up a wave of pressure — to shrink, restrict, or “get your body back” before the season hits — you are so not alone.

This time of year can feel like one giant spotlight on your body.

The clothes get smaller, the diet noise gets louder, and suddenly you’re hyper-aware of every lump, bump, and bite.

But this isn’t really about swimsuits or shorts. It’s about the beliefs running under the surface — the ones that say you have to shrink yourself to be worthy, lovable, or "ready" for summer.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why summer can send you into a food-and-body spiral… and what to do instead.

We’re getting into the subconscious patterns, emotional triggers, and cultural noise that make it feel so hard — and how to shift out of it with actual self-trust.

Let’s talk about how you can enjoy your summer without obsession, restriction, or body shame weighing you down - shall we?

The #1 Misconception About Intuitive Eating (That’s Keeping You Stuck)

Wed, 07 May 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Ever thought, “If I listened to my body, I’d just eat sweets and junk all day”?

If so, you are NOT alone my friend.

This is by far one of the most common fears women have when they hear about intuitive eating — and it makes total sense, especially if you've spent years in the restrict-binge cycle.

But here's what most people don't fully know: that's not intuitive eating. That's impulsive eating.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the #1 misconception that’s likely keeping you stuck, spinning in food guilt, and totally doubting your ability to trust yourself.

We’ll talk about:

The difference between impulsive eating and intuitive eating
Why it feels like you’d lose all control if you stopped restricting
What true body trust actually looks like (and how to rebuild it)

If you’ve ever felt afraid that intuitive eating = eating “trash” 24/7, this episode will bring you clarity, relief, and maybe even a little hope. Let's get into it!

Stress Eating: Why You Keep Doing It (Even When You Know Better) - Coaching Over Coffee

Wed, 30 Apr 2025 02:00:00 -0400

Maybe you've tried everything to gain control of your stress eating. Diet plans, coaching, apps— but you still end up turning to food when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or just need a break.

Maybe you feel like you know what you "should" be doing, but can't bridge the gap between knowledge and action.

In this episode, I talk with Lauren, who has spent the last few years trying everything to break her stress eating habits. From intermittent fasting to nutrition coaching to Noom—nothing seemed to stick. And if you’ve been in that same frustrating cycle, this conversation will hit home.

We uncover why stress eating isn’t about the food itself—it’s about the deeper emotional drivers that keep pulling you back in. We also talk about the habits and rituals that can actually help you regulate stress without needing food as a crutch.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

The subconscious patterns that make emotional eating feel impossible to stop
Why journaling, meditation, and rituals can help—but only if done the right way
How to build real trust in yourself so you don’t need accountability to stay consistent
The power of setting non-negotiables in your routine to protect your well-being
Why waiting for a “rock bottom” moment before making changes keeps you stuck

If you’re ready to stop feeling a slave to food when stress hits and finally create sustainable habits that work for you (not against you), press play now!

How To Quantum Leap Into Food Freedom

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 02:00:00 -0400

What if the peace, ease, and freedom you crave around food isn’t years away... but just one decision away? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that completely shifted my world — both personally and professionally — and it has everything to do with quantum leaps, timelines, and the version of you who already lives in food freedom.

I’m fresh off a transformational business retreat in Sedona, Arizona, where I experienced what I can only describe as a “quantum leap” moment — the kind that realigns not just your goals, but your entire sense of self.

And today, I’m sharing how this exact shift applies to your food, body, and self-image struggles.

Here's what you'll learn:

The truth about why you feel stuck in the same patterns with food (hint: it’s not about willpower).
What a “quantum leap” actually is — and how it can fast-track your growth in ways that diets and mindset hacks never could.
The power of timelines: how your beliefs, energy, and choices shape your reality.
Why the future version of you who’s free from food obsession already exists — and how to step into her timeline.
Why fear is a sign you’re growing — and why you shouldn’t wait for your life to “feel ready” before making the leap.

You’re not stuck because you’re broken. You’re stuck because you’ve been living on the same timeline. Once you shift your identity and your energy, everything else — your habits, your choices, even the way you think about food — starts to catch up.

If you’re ready to stop circling the same old food struggle and step into the version of you who’s already living in peace and freedom... this episode is your permission slip.

Why I Stopped Drinking Alcohol & How It Changed My Life

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 02:00:00 -0400

I don't drink alcohol anymore, and I've never felt better.

I get a lot of questions about why I stopped drinking, and I get the curiosity! We live in a culture where alcohol is at the center of social activities, and it's weird to NOT drink.

A few years ago, I got curious about my relationship with alcohol and whether it was improving my mental, emotional and physical health. In this episode, I'm going to reveal all of it.

If you've ever felt curious about your own relationship with alcohol, or if you're just looking for a candid conversation about personal evolution, this episode is for you.

How my friendships naturally evolved, and how I found a community that truly aligns with my authentic self.
Powerful questions to help you reflect on your own relationship with alcohol, and whether it’s truly serving you.

My 4 Powerful Strategies To Make Eating Easier & Less Time Consuming

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 02:00:00 -0500

Can we talk about how much of our time, energy and mental space get consumed with thoughts about food?!

If you're anything like me, you're already making 10,000+ decisions a day. The last thing you need is to constantly worry about what, when or how much you're going to eat.

Decision fatigue is REAL. I mean, have you ever found yourself at 5pm having to make a decision about what to eat, and you're so mentally drained that the only thing you can do is order takeout?

Yup, I feel you. Same.

That's exactly why I had to create a system that reduces the amount of food decisions I make every day. These 4 powerful strategies have given me SO much time, energy and metal space back...it's a little unfair.

Food is no longer a source of frustration or overwhelm - it's easy, intuitive and simple.

And when you adopt these strategies, this is 100% possible for you too.

How To Have A Healthy Relationship With Exercise w/ Megan Dahlman

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 09:00:00 -0500

I used to be so anxious to take a day off from exercise that I’d force myself to work out even when I was absolutely exhausted, sore AF, overwhelmed and even in pain.

I ran half marathons because that’s the form of exercise that burned the most calories (even though I didn’t enjoy it and it caused me a whole lot of physical pain).

I tracked every single step walked, calorie burned, and active minutes on my Fitbit with obsessive precision.

Did I run in place in my basement on the days that I hadn’t hit 10,000 steps yet? You bet I did.

To say that I used to struggle with an unhealthy relationship with exercise is the understatement of the century.

If you’ve ever viewed exercise as a way to lose weight, chances are you can relate…

When you’re a woman exposed to diet culture on the daily (i.e. ALL women), it’s really easy to fall into the trap of BAD advice related to exercise, like…

“Go hard or go home!”

“You need to hit the gym after eating that dessert”

“If you're not sweating buckets and pushing yourself to the limit every day, you won't see any results.”

“No pain, no gain”

As a result , you might constantly be feeling like you’re not doing enough, or you’re doing the wrong thing.

Or, you’re either going ALL in working out 7 days a week, or you’re completely off the wagon and struggling to even get yourself motivated to work out AT ALL.

That’s why this week on the podcast… we’re talking about How To Have A Healthy Relationship With Exercise.

I’m joined by the incredible personal trainer Megan Dahlman - host of the top-rated Self Care Simplified Podcast - to help you make joyful movement PART of your life in a way that DOES NOT feel complicated, overwhelming, time-consuming or like a chore.

So if you’re tired of struggling with guilt, inconsistency, and confusion around exercise, you’re not alone and this episode is for you!

In this episode, you’ll here:

The #1 thing that women struggle with THE MOST around exercise
Why you might have an unhealthy relationship with COMMITMENT
The biggest mistakes you’re making around exercise and goal setting
Why it’s so hard for you to start slow
What is the WISE method to movement
The difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation
How to rewire your negative association with exercise
And so much more!

Enjoy!

Do You Have a Sugar Addiction? w/ Leah Kern, RDN

Wed, 14 Feb 2024 02:00:00 -0500

Have you ever felt like you're addicted to sugar? Like the moment you start eating, you quite literally CANNOT stop yourself?

Maybe you've heard the studies that compare sugar to addictive drugs, and you've concluded that since the problem is the food itself, the only solution is to abstain from sugar consumption altogether.

You've tried not bringing sweets into your home, replacing sugar in recipes with "healthier" alternatives, and creating rules around when it's "allowed" to eat sweets (for example: "I can only eat sweets on the weekends").

If you can relate, then there's a good chance you still feel like sugar has power over you. Like you can't trust yourself around it, because once you have one bite, it turns into a binge-fest.

Well, this episode is going to have you rethinking everything you thought you knew about sugar addiction.

During this conversation, my special guest, Leah Kern, an anti-diet dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, and I are debunk the myths and misconceptions that have been feeding this sugar-phobic culture.

This episode is not only going to help you understand WHY sugar seems to have such power over you (hint: it's not what you think), but it's only going to give you actionable steps you can take to build a healthier relationship with sugar, and food in general, so that you can:

Trust yourself around food and have the sweets, chocolate, baked goods or candy without the fear that you'll lose control, eat the entire thing and feel like crap
Eat the foods you love without feeling guilty and anxious about it
Feel "normal" around your fear foods and be able to walk away effortlessly without even needing to use willpower or discipline

By the end of our chat, you'll be equipped with a fresh perspective on sugar, and the tools to navigate your food journey in a more balanced way.

Maybe you're scared because you have no idea where to start, and know that there's going to be a LOT to unpack
Maybe you're scared that you'll lose control, and even end up worse off than you are now
Maybe you're scared of what life looks like when you're not constantly dieting or trying to lose weight

Your brain will always choose a familiar hell, over an unfamiliar heaven. So, it's normal to feel scared AF about leaving your comfort zone and pursuing genuine health and happiness.

So, in this episode, I'm going to coach you through it in this Coaching Over Coffee segment with one of my listeners who's feeling ALL of these fears.

You'll be taken through a few life-changing and mind-shifting exercises to help you move through the fear and turn it into excitement, hope and peace.

Why Making Dieting Part Of Your Identity Is Bad For Your Health

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 02:00:00 -0500

This is something that doesn't get talked about enough.

You may truly want to be FREE from yo-yo dieting.

You're done with restricting, constantly feeling hungry, feeling bad about your body and spending ALL your time and energy thinking about food and your weight.

BUT, there's something that's holding you back from really taking that leap towards intuitive eating and breaking free from diet culture. You feel STUCK in your old ways and you don't know why.

That, my friend, is likely because you don't know who you are without dieting.

If your life goal is no longer to lose weight, and all your mental space is no longer consumed with thoughts about pounds, calories, carbs, etc...then what else will you focus on?!

That's exactly what we're going to talk about in this episode. There's two ways to look at this *loss of dieter identity*, and one of those ways is actually incredibly empowering.
By the end of this conversation, that fear and feeling of "stuckness" will have melted away, replaced with a new sense of excitement, hope and eagerness to shred your old identity that's not serving you.

My personal history with disordered eating and body dysmorphia
How to create a healthier mindset and lifestyle that celebrates food without guilt or shame
The truth behind body image and weight loss challenges
Body neutrality : what it is and how it can transform your body image
My thoughts on the body positivity movement
Why self-perception can either make or break you
Emotional eating and how to rediscover a healthier relationship with food
What intuitive eating is, and what it's not
Powerful strategies for overcoming binge eating and becoming a mindful eater

So, if you're struggling with binge eating, food obsession, emotional eating, guilt & shame, feelings of failure or body image, you will gain SO much from this episode.

How To Make 2024 Your BEST Year Yet (Steal My 5-Step Goal Achievement Process)

Wed, 03 Jan 2024 02:00:00 -0500

Many people set goals and have a vision of the life they want to create, but most people never achieve their goals.

Why?

Because 99% of people don't know how to properly set goals, and you might be able to relate to this if you feel like:

You're stuck. You know you need/want to change, but never actually make forward progress.
You're frustrated. You know what you "should" do, but you're not doing it.
You're lost. You no longer know what the next steps should be, so you keep jumping from one thing to another, without actually sticking to anything.

If that's you, this episode is for you.

I'm doing something I've never done. I'm taking you behind the scenes into my goal setting & ACHIEVING process (because what's the point of setting goals if you don't have a plan for achieving them?).

This is a powerful process that I have used for years now that have allowed me to create all the massive things in my life I never thought I'd achieve, like starting a successful podcast, meeting the love of my life, manifesting my dream apartment, scaling my business and healing my relationship with food, exercise in my body!

Warning, this episode might help you create a life beyond your wildest dreams... if that's not in the cards for you in 2024, you can skip this episode ;)

Struggling with societal pressures to maintain the 'perfect' body?

You're not alone.

Join me as I sit down with Dr. Diana Gordon, a licensed psychologist and intuitive eating specialist, who shares her own experiences living in a larger body.

Dr. Gordon will make you question the true meaning of acceptance and the hazardous effects of diet culture that are more pervasive than you might think.

During our conversation...

We delve into the world of those who have battled weight issues since childhood.
We talk about growing up in a fat-phobic society and how it shapes our perception of self-worth.
We discuss how dieting can become a part of one's identity and why people often return to it, even after recognizing the harm.
We also discuss how journaling can be a powerful tool for self-reflection and improvement.
we take a deep dive into the importance of body acceptance, share strategies to overcome judgment, and offer hope for those on this journey.

However, Dr. Gordon assures that embracing body acceptance can significantly shift our perspective and guide us toward self-esteem and confidence.

This episode will inspire you to rethink societal norms and standards.

It serves as a reminder that it's okay to be different and that happiness and confidence are not size-dependent.

Remember, self-love comes in all shapes and sizes. Tune in to find your own freedom from diet culture.

THIS Will Help You Find Body Acceptance w/ Food Freedom Therapist Cherie Miller

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 02:00:00 -0500

Do you ever feel like diet culture is stealing your joy?

Like society's expectations of physical perfection are preventing you from truly aligning with your values and fully experiencing life?

How many pictures have you NOT taken, beaches you haven't gone to, social events you missed or trips you didn't take because you let your body hold you back?

So many women have been conditioned to stop living life in alignment with what they deeply value in order to pursue weight loss, dieting and acceptance from society. As a result, you run the risk of waking up at the age of 80 years old with a lot of regret about the life half lived, the missed experiences, and the lack of fulfilment.

In this episode, we are joined by the incredible Cherie Miller, an eating disorder therapist who works with adult clients struggling with a range of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, orthorexia, OSFED and disordered eating all along the spectrum.

Together, we cover:

The persuasive culture that profits off of women's insecurities
An important perspective shift to make that will reduce your self-blame and towards an understanding of societal body image issues
How self-compassion work will help you move towards a healthier relationship with food and your body
The Front Porch Test : a thought-provoking exercise designed for creating a better future
Breaking away from black-and-white thinking : how self-acceptance and growth can coexist.
How common values like connection, adventure and growth can be disrupted by disordered eating
The ripple effect of diet culture liberation.

If you want to stop feeling like you're missing out on truly living your life because your body is holding you back, you don't want to miss this episode!

Listening to Your Body: Navigating Unusual Hunger Days

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 02:00:00 -0500

A few days ago, I had a day where my hunger was just ravenous, and I didn't understand why.

I normally have a pretty consistent eating pattern and am very much in tune with how much food my body needs to feel good, satisfied and energized.

If my hunger gets throw off, I typically know why. Perhaps my meal was smaller than usual, or lacking carbs, and needed more protein.

However, on this particular day, I couldn't understand why, no matter how much I ate, I still felt hungry. Real, physical hunger. Not emotional hunger.

In the past when I was struggling with my relationship with food, this would have been met with judgement, criticism and shame. I would have said things to myself like "you can't possibly be hungry AGAIN, you did ate!"

However, I now handle these weird eating days completely differently now, and I know how to honour my hunger is a way that feels good, free from guilt or anxiety.

And that's exactly what we're talking about in today's episode.

Honouring your hunger is key to healing your relationship with food, but it can be challenging if you're used to avoiding it (like distracting yourself by going for a walk), pushing it off (like drinking a black coffee instead of eating), or tricking it (like eating popcorn instead of more substancial food).

In this episode, you'll hear;

How I used to view hunger and why it disrupted my ability to listen to my body
How I've changed my relationship with hunger to honour my body's needs
The questions I ask myself when I notice my appetite is different
How I let my body guide my food choices
How to navigate weird eating days where your hunger or cravings are more intense than usual

The Biggest Obstacles To Healing Your Relationship With Food

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 02:00:00 -0500

Do you know that changing your relationship with food should be a priority, but something is holding you back?

Maybe you've been listening to this podcast for a while now, and you're noticing that the way you think & feel about food isn't how you want it to be...

But even with listening to podcasts, consuming content on social media, and diving deeper into this world of food freedom, you haven't taken ACTION towards making a real, impactful change.

WHY is that?

Last week, a team member of mine and I hopped on a call because she had questions for me about this exact topic.

We hopped on a regular Zoom meeting so that she could understand the mindset of the women in my community better, AKA the mindset of women struggling with food and their body image.

She had amazing questions for me that you'll hear answered in this episode, including:

What are the biggest obstacles standing in the way of women taking action on healing their relationship with food?
How do these obstacles manifest in their lives?
How can people overcome these obstacles?
What is the reason why people are so much more scared to go a short amount of time suffering, than to suffer for the rest of their lives?
What is the best way to approach the fear of weight gain?
What are the fears hiding behind the fear of weight gain?

We ended up having such a good conversation, that I decided to release it to you as a podcast episode, because I know how valuable it will be to dive deeper into your subconscious and uncover what's truly keeping you stuck and holding you back from creating the life of your dream, where food and body image issues are no longer front and center.

Why Can't You Stop Eating, Even When You Feel Full?

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 02:00:00 -0500

Have you ever found yourself reaching for that extra helping of food, even when you're not really hungry?

Why is it so difficult to break away from unhealthy eating habits and how can we truly understand our body's needs?

This episode is for you if:

You have a hard time stopping yourself from eating more, even when you know you're full and that eating more will make you feel uncomfortably stuffed
You often do your overeating at night, but you don't know how to stop
You want to understand the root cause of WHY you struggle with your eating patterns

This Coaching Over Coffee session with one of the podcast listeners takes a deep dive into the mystery of overeating, uncovering subconscious factors that may be influencing our choices.

We discuss practical strategies to navigate through cravings, the struggle to honor our body's hunger using the hunger scale, and the difference between self-imposed food rules and actual food preferences.

When it comes to overeating, dinner seems to be a particularly challenging time. Why is that?

We unravel the intriguing dynamics of mindless eating habits that tend to kick in after dinner.

The episode also explores the struggle of breaking self-imposed food rules and how they lead to overeating.

By becoming mindful of our hunger levels and paying attention to our body's needs, we can develop healthier eating habits.

How To Keep "Trigger" Foods In The House Without Losing Control

Wed, 01 Nov 2023 02:00:00 -0400

Are you tired of feeling out of control around certain foods?

I've been there - the secret snack stashes, the guilt and shame, the endless cycle of binging and restricting.

Today, I'm sharing my personal journey from disordered eating to a healthier, freer relationship with food, and the strategies that helped me get there.

In an honest conversation, I explore the misconceptions of diet culture's false beliefs and their effects on our eating habits.

It was a realization at university that shifted my perspective - I wasn’t failing because of a lack of willpower, I had an unhealthy relationship with food.

We'll dive into the challenge of fostering trust, not just in ourselves, but also in the foods we’ve branded as enemies.

I'll introduce you to systematic habituation, a process which saved me and has proven incredibly effective for my clients at the Food Freedom Academy. This strategy involves gradual, controlled exposure to our trigger foods, reducing emotional sensitivity and retraining our brains to respond differently.

Towards the close of our conversation, I guide you through the practical steps of systematic habituation.

From identifying trigger foods, planning controlled exposure, tracking progress and reactions, to making necessary adjustments.

Plus, I'll offer some advice on how to create a healthier relationship with food and invite you to reach out for help.

So, if you're ready to regain your sense of trust with yourself around previously "trigger" foods in the house, let's dive in!

Fear of Weight Gain, Eating Disorder Recovery, and More - Q & A w/ Victoria Kleinsman (Part 1)

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 02:00:00 -0400

What if the body you're in right now, or maybe even a slightly bigger version of it, was capable of eliciting the same feelings of happiness, freedom, and acceptance that you believe can only be achieved through weight loss?

Join me and my fellow Food Freedom and Body Love coach (and returning guest!), Victoria Kleinsman, as we dive into listener questions in this deep dive Q & A.

Together, we traverse the treacherous path of healing your relationship with food and your body, without the stress, overwhelm, or guilt.

Gaining weight can seem like a scary prospect, especially in a society that equates thinness with worthiness.

Victoria and I tackle this fear head-on, discussing how to stand tall in your self-love and conviction amidst societal judgment.

We explore our internalized biases and learn to extend compassion towards others, and most importantly, towards ourselves.

We challenge the narratives that weight gain equals less love and acceptance, and we share how our relationships with ourselves and others flourished as we moved towards full recovery.

Let's engage in a profound conversation about body image, acceptance, and self-love in the face of societal pressures.

Tune in, and let's take a step towards food and body freedom together.

You Have Confidence All Wrong

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 02:00:00 -0400

Ever wondered why confidence seems elusive, or why some people exude it effortlessly while others struggle?

Prepare to shatter any misconceptions you may have about confidence as I spill the beans on the true way it gets built.

Using my personal journey as a lens, I'll reveal how my initial fears and hesitations in launching this podcast transformed into a pillar for my own confidence.

I'll touch on how sticking to our self-commitments is the secret sauce to cultivating genuine confidence.

We'll then venture into the realm of confronting fears and embracing growth - because let's face it, staying in our comfort zones isn't always as comfortable as it sounds. We often blame our lack of self-control when we find ourselves stuck in a rut, but few of us dig deeper to understand the root cause of our emotions.

Together, we'll explore how introspection can lead to making positive shifts in our lives.

We'll dissect the top five thoughts and three emotions that impact us every day and learn to wield them intentionally.

Get ready to debunk the myth of perfectionism, set healthy boundaries, and discover that true confidence comes from being consistent with ourselves.

Let's journey together towards building unshakeable confidence!

The 3 Ways Our Intuitive Eater Gets Buried

Wed, 06 Sep 2023 02:00:00 -0400

If you:

Feel disconnected from your body
Don't trust yourself to make decisions about what, how much or when to eat
Feel confused, overwhelmed and frustrated with all the conflicting nutrition advice out there

...then this episode is for you.

Today, we're diving into a crucial topic - how your intuitive eater gets buried beneath layers of external influence and diet culture noise.

You were born as an intuitive eater - you cried when you were hungry and didn't stop until you got fuel. When your body communicated that you've had enough, you turned your head and stopped.

Throughout life, we're bombarded with messages about what, when, and how much to eat.

These messages, often fueled by the diet industry's profit-driven agendas, create a cacophony that drowns out your body's innate wisdom.

In this episode, we're breaking down the 3 major periods in our life during which we stop listening to our bodies and start trusting others over our own innate guidance.

How To Challenge Your Inner Food Rebel

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 02:00:00 -0400

Your inner food rebel - that voice inside you that rebels against any form of restriction, control, or rules when it comes to food.

If you can relate to having this love/hate relationship with food, this episode is for you.

The inner food rebel often emerges after years of dieting or restrictive eating patterns.

It's that part of you that's tired of being told what to eat and what not to eat.

It's the voice that shouts, "I'm done with these strict rules!"

This rebel might lead you to overindulge in foods you've labeled as "forbidden" just because you're tired of feeling deprived.

Understanding your inner food rebel is key to healing your relationship with food.

That's exactly what we're talking about on today's Coaching Over Coffee episode, where I coach one of my listeners through this mental tug of war.

Fri, 25 Aug 2023 02:00:00 -0400

We are joined by none other than the / OG Binge Dietician herself, Marissa Kai Miluk, founder of Behind The Binge and @binge.nutrionist on Instagram.

In this episode, we unpack her history with binge eating as a young actress in an industry that perpetuates toxic ideals around looks and body image.

She shares her experience having an eating disorder without "looking the part".

We also talk about the fear of losing control that comes along with letting go of food rules, and why dieting actually perpetuates the loss of control.

Finally, we discuss finding your set point weight, or set point "range", and why focusing on weight to end binge eating is bound to backfire.

Binge Eating: Why It's Not About Willpower

Wed, 23 Aug 2023 02:00:00 -0400

Have you ever thought to yourself :"If only I had more willpower and self-control with food, then I could stop binge eating"?

Of course we feel that way. It simply takes a quick Google search to get back 10000+ results of articles touting ways to “increase your willpower with food”.

You've likely be told that once you've found a diet that makes you feel good physically and mentally, it is just a matter of staying on track. This takes willpower.

This is where we have it all wrong.

Now, in our defense, we live in a culture that idolizes “self-control” and makes us believe that we’re expected to:

Eliminate all processed foods
Practice regimented “healthy” eating, only eating “clean”, “whole” or “pure” foods
Workout every day
Never eat after 8 pm
Wake up at 5 am and have the perfect morning routine

The list goes on.

It’s no wonder we feel a deep sense of shame and guilt when we feel we aren’t adhering to the unrealistic expectations placed upon us.

With all of that messaging, this might just come as a surprise to you: willpower is a lie.

Binge eating is not about willpower.

It’s a result of a number of factors, and we're getting into it in today's episode.

How To Stop Putting Pressure On Yourself

Wed, 31 May 2023 02:00:00 -0400

If you struggle with chronically putting waaaay too much pressure on yourself, which creates a cycle of negative self-talk for not "doing enough", not going "fast enough" or not being where you want to be, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, I'm letting you in on a personal challenge that I've been working through myself for the last few years. As someone who used to refer to myself as a "recovered perfectionist", I can be honest and admit that I am still a work in progress.

We live in a society that's driven by achievement, productivity, constantly being "on the go" and never allowing time to just "be". This creates anxiety, an extreme sense of urgency, scarcity and pressure.

This is NOT the recipe for a peaceful life. So, today, I'm going to walk you through a proven process for reducing that sense of pressure, reframing negative self-talk and creating more positive, empowering thoughts so that you can create more peace in your life.

You'll want to grab a pen and paper to take some notes, because this will be an extremely powerful tool for you to use in ALL areas of your life. Let's jump in!

"I don't think Intuitive Eating is for me. I love food & I have to lose weight"- Coaching Over Coffee

Wed, 03 May 2023 02:00:00 -0400

Today, we're hearing from one our listeners, and coaching them through one of their biggest questions regarding Intuitive Eating:

"When I hear everything you say on your podcast about Intuitive Eating, it all makes sense. But I'm thinking... I don't think Intuitive Eating is for me. Because I love to eat, I'm a eater. I enjoy my food. I think I am an emotional eater, because when I'm bored or happy, I'll reach for something. But I feel like I have to restrict, or count calories. Because I really do need to lose weight. I'm so unmotivated with my weight, my blood work, my appearance".

If you've ever felt the same way, this episode is going to be extremely powerful for you!

6 Reasons Why Pursuing Intuitive Eating is So Worth It

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 02:00:00 -0400

I know firsthand just how much of a challenge it is to let go of deep-rooted beliefs & mindsets around food and your body that you've held for the majority of your life.

I know that the Intuitive Eating journey is not linear. There's a mixed of emotions involved, including grief, sadness and regret. Those emotions need to be validated, and included as part of the process. But, there's also so many positives that come out of going through the discomfort of change.

As someone who has recovered from my own history of disordered eating & body image issues, I want to share 6 reasons why staying committed to my healing journey was SO worth it, even on those tough days.

My hope is to inspire, motivation and encourage you to continue on this path to reclaiming a health, pleasant and easy relationship with food and your body.

It is not a simple feat, but I can tell you from experience, the outcome is so worth it.

Debunking the Biggest Intuitive Eating Myths & Misconceptions

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode, we'll be discussing some of the most common myths and misconceptions surrounding intuitive eating.

If you've been on and off diets for longer than you can remember...
...and you're tired of obsessing over food and your body...
...but the idea of letting go of food rules & fully committing to Intuitive Eating creates a lot of fear and anxiety within you...

...this episode is for you.

Today we're talking about those fears head on, and addressing the misconceptions behind those fears to help you understand why:

Intuitive eating doesn't not mean "eat whatever you want, whenever you want"
Intuitive eating is not just the "hunger and fullness diet"
Intuitive eating does not mean you stop caring about your health
Intuitive eating does not mean you're going to binge more
Intuitive eating will not make you lose control

Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to health and wellness that involves tuning in to your body's internal cues for hunger and fullness, and making food choices based on what feels good and nourishing to you.

However, there are many myths and misconceptions that can make it difficult to fully embrace this approach. Let's dive in!

My Biggest Mistakes With Binge Eating

Wed, 12 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I'm opening up about my past with binge eating.

For over 6 years, I jumped from one restrictive diet to another, counting calories, cutting out carbs, following food rules, hoping to gain "control" of my eating.

What started as an innocent desire to lose weight quickly spiralled into disordered eating, compulsive overeating, and an inability to control myself around "off-limit" foods.

Night time was the worst for me. Every night, around 8 pm, when everything had settled down after dinner time and I found myself alone in the kitchen, it was like a switch went off in my head. The moment I started eating, I couldn't stop.

I felt so powerless and out of control around food, so I spent a lot of time online reading different tips & strategies to overcome binge eating.

What I didn't realize was that these things were making things worse , not better.

So, in today's episode, I'm going to share 5 of the biggest mistakes I was making that kept me stuck with my binge eating behaviours, endless frustrated with myself for not being able to figure it out, and feeling like a failure for not having enough willpower.

My hope is that, if you're struggling with binge eating, you can avoid these mistakes and get on the path to healing quickly and more effectively than I could.

"When does Intuitive Eating start to feel natural?" Coaching Over Coffee

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 08:00:00 -0400

JOIN THE FREE 7-DAY INTUITIVE EATING CHALLENGE (APRIL 20-27, 2023)

Today, we're addressing a listener question you might be having too "When does Intuitive Eating start to feel natural?"

When you first begin your Intuitive Eating journey, it feels like driving a car for the first time. You're checking your rearview mirror, paying close attention to your blindspot, and extremely hyper-focused on the cars around you. As you get comfortable with driving, it becomes easier for you. Natural even. To the point that one day, you find yourself driving to work and didn't even have to think about where you're going or what you're doing.

Driving starts to happen automatically.

Becoming an Intuitive Eater feels like that. At first, you're hyper-aware of your eating habits. You're thinking more, asking yourself more questions.

But over time, it becomes who you are.

So when does that happen?

That's what you'll learn today. Speaking with Michele, you'll hear me uncover the blocks holding her back from achieving a more natural relationship with food, I coach her through her body image challenges, and give her actionable steps to improve both her body image and her mindset towards food.

6 Tips For Eating Intuitively & Food Freedom While Travelling

Wed, 01 Mar 2023 02:00:00 -0500

Food Freedom Academy Waitlist: https://sabrinamagnan.com/letsconnect

If travelling brings up food & body anxiety for you, this episode will help you learn how to go on vacation with food freedom, let go of rigid food & exercise rules, and enjoy your trip without guilt, shame or obsession over how you're eating or moving.

When I was struggling with my relationship with food, the idea of going on a vacation didn't bring up emotions of excitement or joy, like it should for most people.

It brought up anxiety & fear.

In the throes of my disordered eating, I couldn't properly enjoy myself because I was so consumed with trying to control my food & burn calories through exercise.

Back home, I had structure, restrictions and rules to follow. I was able to keep my food anxiety in check as long as I stuck to my "safe foods", cooked at home and respected my self-imposed rules about what/when/how much I could eat. I worked out every single day, and felt guilty/anxious if I ever took a day off.

As you can imagine, being sent into a whole new and uncontrollable environment was a nightmare to me. Things like knowing every single ingredient in my food, going out to restaurants MULTIPLE times a week (or even a day!) or not exercising for a full week tied my stomach in a knot.

If I DID manage to push myself to travel, I was distracted during the entire trip. The places, the people, the new food, the experiences ... were are tainted by my obsession with rigid eating and exercising.

Last week, I took my first REAL long vacation since the pandemic to New Orleans, Louisiana. I had such a blast visiting one of my good friends and fellow business owner. I explored, learned about the culture, tried the local food (LOTS of it) and took some much needed time off. Off from exercise. Off from work. Off from responsibilities.

The week made me reflect on my past experiences with travelling, and how my history with disordered eating & dieting affected the way I felt while on vacation for many years. I feel so lucky and privileged to be able to travel without an ounce of anxiety around eating or exercise.

If you're on your Intuitive Eating journey & experience fear at the idea of travel, I'm going to share 6 tips (spoiler : + a bonus tip at the end!) that I wish someone had told me years ago.

How often do you feel like you’re not doing enough, not perfect enough, or not trying hard enough with diet & exercise?

We live in a culture that’s constantly striving for perfection and productivity, making us feel bad for enjoying a piece of cake, eating something just for the pure joy of it, or taking time off from exercise to give your body a break.

In this conversation, we talk about:

What moderation actually means, and how to achieve it
Why healing your relationship with food doesn’t start with a focus on food
The biggest mistake that new intuitive eaters make
What the “outward-in” approach to healing is
The biggest reason that emotional eating is such a hard habit to break
An important mindset shift to make to enjoy & be consistent with exercise
The ONE thing you can focus on for the next 7 days to start improving your life
And much, much more!

18 Habits To Improve Your Health, Energy & Mood During Long Winter Months

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 02:00:00 -0500

Are the winter months, especially around January/February, tough for you? Do you feel like you struggle with low energy, cranky mood and an overall lack of excitement for life?

This is a pattern I experience every winter season, getting worse at this time for the year.

The weather is cold, days are short, sunny days are hard to come by and there is little to do.

As a result, I stop feeling like myself. I don't want to do much except stay home and sleep.

Can you relate?

You don't need to be living in a snowy or cold city to feel the effects of winter blues, or in more severe cases, seasonal affective depression (SAD). If you're unfamiliar with SAD, it's a type of depression that's related to changes in seasons — SAD begins and ends at about the same times every year.

If you've been experiencing one of more of the following symptoms, this episode is going to be extremely valuable for you:

Feeling joyless, sad or down most of the day, nearly every day
Oversleeping and constant fatigue
Losing interest in activities you once enjoyed
Having low energy and feeling sluggish
Experiencing carbohydrate cravings, overeating and weight gain
Having difficulty concentrating
Feeling hopeless, worthless or guilt

If you're feeling any of those symptoms, I want you to know that you're not alone, and remove any guilt you may have about feeling down during this time of the year. SAD affects many people, me included.

Over the years, I've learned to manage this yearly slump.I know what to expect and what habits to put in place to maintain a relatively positive mental health. Without these habits, my relationships, work, and sense of well-being would take a MASSIVE hit.

In this episode, I'm sharing 18 habits & strategies that I've implemented over the years that have had a huge impact on helping me get through these hard winter months.

I encourage you to write them down, and pick ONE habit that you'll try out for the next 7 days. Then, head over to Instagram and send me a DM to let me know which one you picked!

If you struggle with body acceptance, negative self-talk & shame about how you look, this episode will help you begin your body image healing journey so that you can rediscover self-love and as a result, get rid of self-sabotage and start implementing consistent healthy habits that make you FEEL your best!

Can Intuitive Eating Really Work If You're Afraid of Gaining Weight?

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 02:00:00 -0500

This episode is for you if you're beyond ready to stop dieting and relearn how to eat intuitively, but your fear of weight gain is holding you back.

You've hit a point where you realize that dieting doesn't work, it's making you feel more obsessed and out-of-control with food than ever before, and you're ready to relearn how to trust your body again.

But there's one big thing holding you back from truly committing to Intuitive Eating and letting go of dieting for good: you're terrified of what it will do to your body.

You've lived the majority of your life according to rules, restrictions and rigid control around what you "can" or "can't" eat. You might feel like it's the only thing that keeps your eating & weight in check.

So naturally, the thought of letting go of those rules may terrify you.

In this episode, we're going to address this fear of weight gain head on. You're going to learn:

How dieting for weight loss is counterproductive and leads to long-term weight gain
The truth behind yo-yo weight cycling and how it affects your health
How focusing on intentional weight loss further disconnects us from our natural ability to eat intuitively
How Intuitive Eating COULD affect your body (weight loss, maintenance or gain)
How to handle the fear of weight gain and Intuitive Eating
Health-promoting behaviours VS intentional weight loss
Why focusing on health-promoting behaviours is key to improving your health

The thought of Intuitive Eating can be scary.

Maybe you're worried that you'll fail at something, yet again.

Maybe you’ve already “tried it” and it hasn’t worked for you.

What's Your Eating Personality? The 4 Eating Types

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 02:00:00 -0500

What kind of eating personality do you have?

Perhaps you've heard of Intuitive Eating, you don't quite feel like you're an Intuitive Eater (yet), but you don't know what kind of eater you really are.

There are many different eating styles that are actually unconscious forms of dieting.

If you're suffering from some of the side effects of dieting...

Loss of control around food
Guilt, anxiety and shame surrounding food choices
Using food as comfort
Feeling addicted to food

...Then there's a good chance that you've retained the diet mindset & behaviours from your past.

In this episode, I'm going to break down the 4 different eating styles to help you identify where you're at now, so that you can start recognizing certain traits that aren't serving you and work towards establishing a more peaceful eating style that fosters a positive relationship with food and reconnects you to your inner Intuitive Eater.

How To Break Free From The Yo-Yo Diet Cycle

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 02:00:00 -0500

Does this pattern feel familiar to you?

You go on a diet/restrict food to lose weight
You feel deprived and your cravings for foods you "shouldn't" have increase
You give in to temptation and eat the "off-limit" food. You might think to yourself "I shouldn't be having this", so you eat quickly and don't quite enjoy the food. You probably eat a lot because you think "“What the hell. I’ve had one I might as well have the whole thing".
Feelings of guilt & shame take over. You feel like a failure and angry at yourself for lacking the willpower to resist.
You go back to restricting , and vow to "get back on track tomorrow" to make up for the binge you just had.
The cycle restarts again. And again. And again.

Help you understand in detail what the diet cycle really is, so that you can start recognizing certain patterns in your life
Explain what triggers this cycle, and how we get trapped it in
Break down how you can finally break free from this cycle, so that you can finally get off the rollercoaster of constantly being "on and off the wagon" and start truly living a life of freedom with food

Wed, 14 Dec 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Are you already thinking about which new diet you'll be starting to "get back on track" on January 1st?

If you can relate to 1 or more of the following:

Every New Year, you make a resolution that THIS year is going to be THE year you get healthier and lose weight ...for good
You're able to stick to your healthy eating & exercise habits for a few weeks , you lose weight and feel like "this time, it's finally working". But eventually, life gets in the way and you fall right back to your old habits & gain all the weight back
Every December is a "free-for-all" with food, overeating & overindulging knowing that you're going to go back to "being good" in January
You're sick of restarting every year, failing diets, and letting year after year go by without making any progress

...then this episode is going to be so powerful for you.

In this solo episode, I'm going to break down:

5 main reasons why weight loss/diet resolutions fail more than 50% of the time
Why vowing to "get back on track in January will actually have the opposite effect, resulting in more overeating & obsession with food
How to resist the temptation to diet again, even when you know that it's bound to fail (and what to do instead)
If you're not doing to focus on dieting in the New Year...what should you focus on instead?! I'm giving you 3 of my favourite ways to start healing your relationship with food in 2023 so that you can end your war with food for good and step into a balanced, consistent and peaceful way of eating & living that will stick for the long-term

If you're ready to get off the yo-yo dieting rollercoaster, stop feeling like food controls you and start freeing up your time & energy on creating a life you're in love with, then you'll want to listen to this before the New Year rolls around!

PS - If you're looking for support to help you break free from dieting & heal your relationship with food and your body, so that you can put a final stop to overeating, emotional eating, food obsession & uncontrollable cravings, my Food Freedom Academy Coaching Program has finally opened it's doors for enrolment for our January 2023 cohort!
