Confessions of a Binge Eater – Details, episodes & analysis

As we step into 2026, this episode invites you to imagine a different relationship with food—one where food no longer owns you and choice replaces compulsion. In part two of my Top 10 Tips for Lasting Weight Loss, I'm sharing the deeper, often overlooked shifts that create real change. This is about healing from the inside out and discovering a path that supports your whole life, not just the number on the scale.

What if this is the year you finally stop starting over?
In the first episode of the year, I'm sharing my top 10 tips for lasting weight loss — not diet rules, but deep, meaningful shifts that address what's really driving overeating and bingeing. If weight loss were about food alone, you would've already solved it. These tips look beyond the plate and into the emotional, spiritual, and nervous-system roots of the struggle, so real healing can begin.

In this episode of Confessions of a Binge Eater, I'm talking about one of the biggest triggers for emotional eaters: worry. If you've ever spun out with "what if" thoughts until you're stressed, scared, and reaching for food… this one's for you. I share the real-life stories, tools, and spiritual practices that helped me step out of fear, get present, and stop letting scary thoughts run the show. You don't have to awfulize every possible future scenario—there's another way, and I'll show it to you.

After two weeks in "Spanish school", and a weekend of running around seeing the sights in Barcelona (Sagrada Familia, Picasso Museum, etc.), I've recorded my final account of my wonderful experiences in Spain. It's so fun to share about my travels, especially from the perspective of an emotional eater. I didn't do Barcelona like others did…I was able to enjoy good food, while eating healthy and feeling good about my food choices. And the best part of all, was being able to walk through fear and apprehension, without using food as my crutch. God is good!

Diet culture: there are so many things to say about how years of dieting affects our psyche, our relationship with our bodies, and how we view food. Food is food. But too often, we put food in camps: the good and the bad. And we lose our power in the process. In this short and sweet episode, I unpack this, so you can begin to move beyond this destructive mindset and clear your path for freedom.

Hola - de Barcelona! So this is my second episode, following my first week of traveling to Spain and attending Spanish language school. I'm learning many lessons, and not just the ones happening in class! I'm excited to share some of my thoughts and experiences here, in this short, but fun, account of all that's been happening!

Are you living a juicy life? Or are you needing a possible 3rd act reinvention? If life is feeling a little dull and you'd like a boost, check out my conversation with my good friend and reinvention coach, Charlene Gorzela. Charele sold her company of 26 years and started a new career. She also met and married her husband during the pandemic. In this episode, we talk about the inner journey of healing that gives us the best outer journey of life. Yes, your best chapter of life is waiting for you.

It's been a lifelong dream of mine, which I did nothing about…until now. My new goal is to learn to speak Spanish by age 60. I'm not too far away! So I pulled out the stops and have taken a lot of action to make this dream come true. (It's not going to just happen, after all.) In this episode, I describe how I've prepared for my Spanish Adventure.

Food cravings don't just happen. It seems like the strike at any given time, but usually they are the result of how we're feeling about ourselves and our decisions, day to day. In this episode, I discuss a certain life decision I made (regarding my relationship) that informed subsequent food decisions. Because it's all related…"the hip bone is connected to the knee bone…"

Health Influencer and New York Times Bestselling Nutrition Expert, JJ Virgin, and I sat down for a fun talk on how to age powerfully…because it's much more fun and effective. In this episode, we talk about protein's impact on cravings, the best way to exercise as you age, and why the scale should be abolished, in favor of smarter measurement for health. Check it out now!
