Confessions of a Binge Eater – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, Tricia Nelson shares a simple but powerful way to decide what foods truly support your healing journey. By looking at two key factors — control and consequences — she explains how emotional eaters can begin identifying trigger foods, understanding compulsive eating patterns, and making choices that create more peace, freedom, and trust around food.

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the secret world of binge eating — from eating alone in my car to late-night food runs and the shame that kept the cycle alive for years. With honesty, compassion, and hard-earned wisdom, I share how binge eating progresses, why it feels so isolating, and most importantly, why healing is possible. If you've ever felt trapped in the cycle of overeating, secrecy, or food obsession, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone and there is a way out.

In this powerful conversation, Tricia sits down with executive leadership coach Nicole Johnston to explore what it really takes for women to be seen, heard, and promoted in their careers. Nicole shares candid stories from decades in corporate leadership and practical tools for speaking up with confidence. They explore how perception shapes opportunity, why many women underestimate their own value, and simple communication shifts that change everything. This conversation goes beyond corporate life and into how we use our voice in every area of life.

Many emotional eaters struggle with sleep. But sometimes, it's not about sleep, as much as it's about going to sleep. We stay up late, eating in front of the TV, or scrolling Facebook and feeling bad about ourselves. We miss out on quality rest, which leaves us tired and more prone to snacking for quick energy the next day. Sound familiar? In this episode, I talk about why we struggle with putting ourselves to bed, and how to get on a much better track.
