Understanding the Connection Between Food and Alcohol Consumption In this episode of ShameOver, we dive into the intricate relationship between food and alcohol consumption. Many people find that when they cut down on alcohol, they inadvertently increase their intake of food, social media, or spending. 

We will talk about Christy Harrison's book, 'The Anti-Diet,' which sheds light on how diet culture influences our consumption patterns and suggests that these ideas can also apply to alcohol and other habits. Important concepts such as the black or white mentality, overconsumption, and the impact of diet culture are discussed, along with the importance of intuitive consumption.

Stay tuned for part two, which will cover strategies for managing emotional eating and drinking.

Let’s be real: motherhood is beautiful and bananas. In this episode of ShameOver, I’m joined by the amazing Caroline —certified health & wellness coach and the founder of Mother Hen Coaching—to talk about something all moms need more of: permission to pause.

We’re diving into: ✨ How micro moments of self-care can change everything ✨ Why “doing it all” is a lie (and what to do instead) ✨ Balancing rest with responsibility (without the guilt) ✨ The power of self-compassion and emotional support ✨ What to do when bedtime becomes a battlefield (yes, we went there)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in the “mental load,” stuck in the cycle of negative self-talk, or just wish you could hit pause and breathe, this one’s for you. Caroline brings the truth, the tools, and the tenderness that all moms deserve.

This is your reminder: taking care of YOU is not optional. It’s essential. 💛

Trust Yourself: How to Build Self-Trust and Heal What’s Underneath with Emily Romero

What if the key to drinking less, feeling more grounded, and finally breaking free from self-sabotage wasn’t more willpower — but more self-trust?

In this deeply powerful episode of ShameOver, I sit down with author and somatic trauma therapist Emily Romero to explore the real reason so many women feel stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.

We unpack Emily’s groundbreaking Self-Trust Model — built on 4 core principles: 👉 Radical honesty 👉 Keeping promises to yourself 👉 Nervous system regulation 👉 Deep self-knowing

If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do but still don’t follow through... if you use alcohol (or anything else) to avoid the pressure, perfectionism, or pain... this one’s for you.

We talk nervous system health, trauma, healing childhood wounds, and how to model something better for the next generation — without the shame.

✨ Whether you're on a healing journey, rethinking your relationship with alcohol, or just trying to stop abandoning yourself — this convo is your permission slip to rebuild trust, one honest moment at a time.
