Have you ever stopped one habit… only to find yourself leaning on another? 🙋🏻♀️
Maybe you ditched dieting, but now wine o’clock is calling every night. Or you stopped drinking, but suddenly food feels out of control again. This, bestie, is called transfer addiction — and it’s way more common (and normal!) in recovery than you think.
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
✨ Why transfer addiction happens (hint: it’s not because you’re weak or broken).
✨ What red flags to look out for when one coping tool swaps for another.
✨ Therapist-backed strategies to build a healthier toolbox and meet your needs without shame.
Healing isn’t about perfection — it’s about noticing patterns, understanding your nervous system, and learning new ways to care for yourself. You’re not failing, you’re growing. 💜
3 Key Takeaways:
Transfer addiction is your nervous system’s way of searching for safety, not a sign of failure.
The behaviour matters less than the function it’s serving (numbing, avoiding, soothing).
You can replace old coping tools with compassionate, empowering strategies that actually support healing.

If you love someone who struggles with binge or emotional eating, it can feel confusing (and sometimes really frustrating) to know what to do or say. Do you encourage them? Step back? Hide the snacks? (Spoiler: please don’t do that 🙅♀️).
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to show up as the supportive, safe, and loving partner they need — without adding guilt or pressure. Whether you’re the one struggling or the support person, this conversation will give you compassion, clarity, and real tools for navigating this journey together.
✨ The 3 root triggers behind binge + emotional eating (it’s not about willpower).
✨ What not to do — the common mistakes partners make that backfire.
✨ The most powerful ways to support your loved one’s healing, from practical help to everyday encouragement.
Your partner doesn’t need food police. They don’t need another diet tip. What they need is compassion, patience, and love as they move toward recovery. And if you’re the one struggling, maybe this is the episode you’ll want to share with your partner so they can better understand what you’re going through. 💜

Today, we’re talking about something I know so many of you struggle with: the guilt spiral after eating.
You know the drill… you eat something, maybe it’s a binge, maybe it’s just food you’ve labelled as ‘bad,’ and suddenly you’re drowning in shame. That heavy, suffocating voice saying, ‘Why did I do that? I have no control. I’ll never fix this.’
We’re going to break that down today — why it happens, how to get out of it, and what you can do next time the shame storm rolls in. And of course, I’ve got some lovely affirmations for you too as we close up.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what I call the Millennial Body Image Hangover - the toxic messages we absorbed from shows like The Biggest Loser, the Special K diet, and low-rise jean culture, and how they’re still messing with us today. More importantly, we’ll talk about how to finally heal from it.
Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode:
✨ Why thinness was sold to us as worthiness — and how that belief still lingers
✨ The sneaky ways diet culture “programs” run in the background of our lives
✨ Five powerful remedies for healing the hangover
If you grew up in the 2000s, chances are you remember The Biggest Loser: dramatic weigh-ins, trainers screaming, contestants collapsing on treadmills, and the promise that extreme weight loss meant health and redemption.
Now, Netflix’s new documentary Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser pulls back the curtain — and it’s even more harmful than we realised.
Here’s what we unpack today:
✨ The shocking behind-the-scenes realities revealed in Fit for TV — from starvation-level diets to life-threatening health risks.
✨ The devastating aftermath: why so many contestants regained weight, and why it was never about willpower.
✨ The generational impact on millennial viewers (like me and maybe you too) who absorbed its harmful messages alongside our mums, friends, and peers.
✨ The anti-diet reframe: why exercise isn’t punishment, food isn’t the enemy, and your worth was never meant to be weighed on a scale.

Many of the tools you’ve tried may have sounded like the solution. They may have even worked for a little while. But here’s the truth:
Diets only work until you can’t follow them anymore.
Therapy is powerful — but most general therapists don’t specialise in disordered eating.
Tracking gives you data, not peace.
Intuitive eating is amazing — but it’s really hard to implement if your nervous system is still dysregulated and you’re still secretly afraid of food and treating it like just another diet.
👉 If you’re ready to break the binge–restrict cycle for good, this is exactly what I help you do inside my program The Break Up.
You’ll learn how to:
✔️ Stabilise your eating with a simple, nourishing rhythm✔️ Reintroduce your “trigger foods” without spiralling✔️ End the all-or-nothing thinking around food✔️ Rebuild trust with your appetite

If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I keep eating like this?” even after swearing off diets, this episode is for you.
Today, I’m unpacking the number one reason binge and emotional eating continues — and why restriction (not lack of willpower) is at the root of it all.
Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode:
✨ The sneaky ways restriction shows up (even when you don’t think you’re restricting)
✨ Why binge urges are not sabotage — but your body’s survival system protecting you
✨ The exact cycle that keeps you stuck in “screw it” mode
✨ What needs to shift so you can stop fighting food and finally feel at peace
The truth is, binge eating isn’t a problem of control — it’s a problem of deprivation. Your body isn’t broken, and you’re not alone in this.
🌟 In this episode, I’ll show you how to start fuelling yourself like you matter, why consistency beats perfection, and how this one shift changes everything.

Today we’re diving into the real cost of your toxic relationship with food, your body, and the weight loss world- and spoiler alert: it’s costing you WAY more than calories or cash.
From diets and gym memberships you never use, to “wellness” programs, tracking apps, injectables, and the binge cycle itself- this obsession is robbing you blind.
And that’s just the beginning. Because what it’s really stealing is your time, your joy, your self-trust, your peace, and your damn life.
In this episode, I break down:
The actual dollar cost of binge-restrict cycles, dieting, and weight loss culture
The emotional toll of constantly trying to “fix” your body
The dreams, memories, and confidence you’re sacrificing by staying stuck
And the truth about why willpower was never the problem in the first place

In today’s episode of the Binge Free Bestie Podcast, we’re tackling one of the most persistent myths out there: that intuitive eating is just an excuse to throw all nutrition out the window and eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Let me be super clear- that’s just diet culture talking. So, if you’ve ever worried that giving yourself unconditional permission to eat means you’re doomed to eat pizza for every meal forever, this episode is for you.
We’re breaking this down piece by piece - starting with why diet culture is so terrified of intuitive eating. Spoiler alert: it’s because intuitive eating takes away their power and puts it back in your hands. No more selling you shame or quick fixes that never stick. No more getting stuck in the endless cycle of restriction and bingeing.
We’ll also chat about what unconditional permission to eat actually means (hint: it’s not about ignoring your body’s needs). Instead, it’s about tuning in, getting curious, and rebuilding trust with yourself. It’s about discovering what feels good for you — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — without guilt or fear.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to tune out the diet culture noise and start listening to your own body’s wisdom. Because intuitive eating isn’t about “giving up” — it’s about finally living.
