Broads: The Bold & Badass Fitness Podcast for Women – Details, episodes & analysis

Did you know that emotional eating is one of the hardest types of addiction that’s difficult to overcome? Many women are unaware that they’re an emotional eater because we simply call it cravings or food noise when in reality, we are using food to numb the things out.   If food became a central part of your life to make you feel better but it is also starting to affect your health, derails your fitness goals, and makes you further beat yourself for “not getting it right”, the problem might be not your willpower but the structure around it.  We go deeper into this in the latest episode of Broads about emotional eating. We also discuss when to know if you are an emotional eater, why you tend to crave food and eat more at night, and why willpower, meal plans and another diet style is not the solution for an emotional problem. Tricia Nelson is an Emotional Eating Expert and founder of Heal Your Hunger programs designed for people who want to break free from the food that was once a source of their comfort but took over their lives.  After decades of battling her own emotional eating, binge eating shame, and deep isolation, Tricia has turned her healing journey into a roadmap for women who are ready to stop fighting food and start understanding it. What's Discussed: (5:06) The biggest misconception about emotional eating. (6:16) The #1 mistake women make when trying to stop binge eating. (8:31) True or false: If you just eat clean, emotional eating goes away. (9:29) The wellness trend that's actually a trap for emotional eaters. (11:03) How to slowly break free from scale dependency. (14:30) How to know if you're an emotional eater. (18:15) Why 75% of emotional eaters lose control at night. (22:24) The PEP Test: food as a Painkiller, Escape, and Punishment. (26:55) Three Meal Magic: The structure that helps you tell hunger from emotion. (32:20) Food noise: The three root causes driving the compulsion to eat. (35:11) The anatomy of the emotional eater and why people pleasing is the #1 trait. (40:30) The four things you actually need to heal from emotional eating. (49:37) What real healing from emotional eating looks like on the other side. Broads Giveaway: To celebrate hitting 1 million listens we are giving away two free Broads Club memberships.

Your brain has two completely separate systems for knowing what to do and actually doing it, and no amount of motivation bridges that gap. The women who stay consistent aren't more disciplined than you. They just stopped relying on motivation and started building structure. If you've ever crushed it at work, managed a full household, and still couldn't figure out why your fitness keeps falling apart, it's not a YOU problem. It's a system problem. And that's exactly what this episode is about. Tune into this week's solo episode of Broads where we answer the real questions around consistency: the ones nobody has actually answered for you yet. What's Discussed: (3:52) Why knowing what to do and still not doing it is not a character flaw. (6:26) The Monday reset isn't a fresh start — it's the problem. (8:50) Why motivation was never supposed to be the engine. (11:07) What to do when life gets busy and your plan falls apart. (15:10) The difference between trying more programs and getting real support. (17:55) The neuroscience behind why you keep breaking promises to yourself. (20:52) How to know if you're actually ready for a coach.

Training starts to feel heavy when the goal is shrinking instead of becoming capable. What began as a viral moment around a meatball sub exposed something deeper: how diet culture, fear of “bulking,” and quiet food rules slowly erode confidence and self-trust long before real change has a chance to stick. We dive deeper into this in the latest Broads Podcast with Jessica Burke. We also chat about why “toning” is misleading, the real difference between exercising and training with intention, what actually drives gym intimidation, and why taking up space changes far more than just the body. Jessica Burke holds a Master’s degree in Kinesiology and is CSCS certified. She is the host of The Strength Chick Podcast and works as a strength and conditioning coach. Her work centers on dismantling diet culture and encouraging women to take up space in the gym and in strength and conditioning. What's Discussed: (03:39) The meatball sub moment, diet culture, and the food guilt women live by(09:19) Why training to be smaller limits what women’s bodies can do(11:16) The truth behind “toning” and how language shapes fear around building muscle(13:34) Fear of bulking as a form of avoiding discomfort and justifying inaction(17:42) The male gaze, gym intimidation, and reclaiming the right to take up space(19:33) Why exercising feels productive but training creates lasting change(34:41) Redefining effort, intensity, and what “hard” actually means in the gym(52:00) Taking up space as an identity decision, not a confidence trait Check out more from Broads:Website: http://broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.app Check out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: http://taralaferrara.com Instagram: @taralaferrara Youtube: @TaraLaferrara Tiktok: @taralaferrara Check out more from Jessica Burke, CSCS, M.S.: Instagram: @coachjburke Tiktok: @coachjburkeYoutube: @coachjburke
