Depression is often one of those taboo topics.  We feel awkward and uncomfortable bringing it up, so we opt instead to suffer in silence.  But we've got to break this cycle.  After experiencing several months of deep depression this year, I was able to shift into creating incredible results in my life in less than 2 months.  But I had to stop fighting and resisting the label, and accept that what I was experiencing was in fact depression.  That can feel extremely vulnerable, which is why I'm going first in sharing my story here in such a public way.  It doesn't take large amounts of time to radically transform your life, but it does take a couple key elements.  Join me for this episode as I share my story of how I realized and navigated a heavy depression cycle, so that you can also find hope, peace, and acceptance that will ultimately move you forward.    If you'd like some help navigating heavy emotions like depression, anxiety, anger, grief, and more, so that you can create a life so good it blows your mind, I'd love to help.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  And if you're looking for a customized weight loss plan that addresses the real challenges you've been facing, schedule your private session here: https://calendly.com/jillian-2/audit. 

We've all heard the phrases (and maybe also told yourself):  "Just stay positive"  "High vibes only"  "There's always a silver lining"  But sometimes phrases like these actually have us stuffing down emotions (especially negative ones) in an attempt to be happy.  On the outside things seem fine, hell others might even think you have 'dream life,'  But inside... you're dying.  Because you're fighting and resisting reality. It makes it harder to get help, harder to get support, and harder to see that what you're doing isn't actually working.  I struggled and suffered in silence much longer than I needed to, all because I was 'trying to stay postiive' and 'look on the brightside' instead of looking at the patterns and facts right in front of me.  I'll always be a postivie person, but I will always leave room for all my emotions - sadness, grief, disappointement, embarrassment, anger, etc.  Ready to break free from toxic cycles that hold you back, even ones that might 'look good' on the outside?  I can help.  Schedule your free consultation at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule

Earlier this spring I realized many of us have been conditioned to suffer in silence.    We don’t want to ask for help.  Don’t want to seem weak or like we have no willpower or self control.  Don’t want to show how bad things really are   I did this growing up and never told mom how much I was hurting. I did this with food and my body image.  And I definitely did this in my marriage.    It made it infinitely harder to get help, especially because I thought I was the problem.  I just needed to try harder. I just needed to "fix myself" somehow.    But that silence just breeds more shame, mistrust, and frustration.  And the way to break the silence is to speak up.  To start talking.  To start asking for help and getting professional support.    I can help.  Schedule your free consultation and I’ll show you how to break free from suffering with food, alcohol, your body, emotional eating, past relationship trauma, and more.

One of the hardest things for narc-survivors is to give themselves what they truly want.  This is because what they want might feel like: It's at odds with what other people want, It's at odd with what other people want for them, They've spent so much time stuffing down their desires, they've forgotten what that even feels like.  They've been shamed for their desires or goals, and have therefore learned to stuff them down.  And one of the biggest reasons I see (women especially) backing down from their desires is: it requires them to feel an uncomfortable emotion.  But this doesn't just come up in life and relationships, but with food, weight loss, and emotional eating.  Ready to break free and give yourself permission to lose 30 pounds, stop emotionally eating, and heal from narcissistic relationships by the end of the year?   I can help.  Schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.   

This might just break your brain a little, because I've spent a lot of time telling you weight loss is easy. And while I still believe that, I also know:  1. Weight loss is simple, but it won't always feel easy in the moment.  And 2. It won't feel 'easy' because I'm asking you to explore your thoughts and feelings, instead of railroading over them and just reaching for food.  Sometimes weight loss will feel hard, not because of what you're doing in the gym, or what you're cutting out of your eating plan,  But because you're stepping out of denial and telling yourself the truth.  And that's ok.  That's the hard we're here for.  When you're ready to navigate the 'hard' of feeling your emotions, recognizing the patterns, no longer lying to yourself and burrying your head in the sand, I can help.  Your next best step is to schedule a free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule

  We’re halfway through the year — and I know for so many women, the first half didn’t go the way you hoped. Maybe you started off strong but lost momentum. Maybe life, stress, or old patterns took over. Maybe you’re tired of the shame cycle — with your body, your habits, and your confidence. But what if you could finish the year 30 pounds lighter — and 10x more confident — without dieting, punishing workouts, or starting over again in January? If you’re thinking “this is exactly what I need” — I want to invite you to be one of the 30.  Schedule your free consultation at: www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  You’ve got nothing to lose, but 30 pounds. 

ALL human brains are wired for safety.  But because of the childhood trauma and dysfunctional patterns you grew up with, that wiring is intensified in your brain.  ‘Creating safety’ is what guides ALL your decisions, to the point that it’s prioritized over achieving new goals (like weight loss).  The core issue is that safety feels OUT of your control;  You don’t realize it, but you learned to rely on an UNSTABLE person to create that sense of safety, which only leaves you pleasing and appeasing, trying to manage someone else’s volatile emotions and actions.  Not only has this rewired your brain, but it’s conditioned your nervous system to live in such a heightened state of fight/flight.  It’s time to break the cycle.  If you truly want to lose weight and keep it off for life, you have to first HEAL your core wounds, heal your relationship with food, and heal your relationship with yourself.  I’ll show you how.  Schedule your free Break the Cycle Call and I’ll help you better understand how these cycles play out in your own life, so that you know exactly where and how to break them.  www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc   PS - I’m on a mission to help 30 people lose 30 pounds this year!

Shame is one of the most powerful weapons a narcissist uses to control you.  And they use it because it works.  You REALLY don’t like feeling ashamed.  But often they try to shame you, because THEY feel ashamed and they have such resistance to feeling it.  And so what we've learned as the abuse cycle is actually the "shame-avoidance cycle."    Shame gets you to shut down, shut up, and get in line... so they can feel better when their shame gets activated.  But long after you've left the narcissistic dynamic, you still wrestle with the remnants of shame.  Keep listening as I share how to truly break free and stop letting shame hold you back in your weight loss journey, with money and investments, in your career or business, and in finding new, healthy love.  Ready to lose 30 pounds in the next 6 months?   I'm taking 30 people on a healing journey, to not just lose 30 pounds of physical weight, but HUNDREDS of pounds of mental and emotional weight you've been carrying as a result of narcissistic abuse.  This is your time!

Abandonment is such a powerful wound toxic people use to control and manipulate you.  You're afraid of losing someone's love, praise, validation, or even physical presence, so you bend over backwards trying to please them, in the hopes that they'll stay.  Even when you know they're not the right fit.  Even when it goes against what you truly want.  The problem is that you end up abandoning yourself.  Not just in that moment, but in giving up on your future hopes, goals, and dreams.  It's time to break the cycle.   I'll show you how to heal your relationship with food, body, and yourself, but decoding how this wound continues to play out in your life, where it's holding you back, and how to break free once and for all.  Schedule your free Break the Cycle Call here: www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc

If you’ve been stuck doubting yourself and your ability to believe you can lose weight and keep it off long-term, you’re not alone.  But here’s something your brain might not know yet: That constant need for evidence? The belief that you can’t trust yourself without seeing proof first? That’s not logic.That’s not you being cautious or “smart.”That’s trauma. Specifically, it’s how your brain was trained in emotionally abusive or neglectful environments—especially in relationships with narcissists. When you’ve been gaslit, invalidated, or made to feel like your desires were “too much,” your brain starts rewiring itself to protect you. So what’s the real solution? You don’t need to force yourself to “just believe.” You need to make it safe to believe in yourself again.  Safe to imagine something better.Safe to want more.Safe to try. Safe to trust yourself—even if no one ever taught you how. Keep listening and I'll show you how.  And when you're ready to break free from the remnants of narcissitic abuse, so that you can create a LIFE so good it blow your mind, I can help.  Schedule your free call at www.bodyyoucrave.com/schedule.  

Emotional eating is such a common habit to have after experiencing an emotionally abusive or emotionally neglectful relationship.  Not just because we use food to escape difficult people and circumstances,  But because those dysfunctional relationships taught us that our emotions were wrong, bad, not allowed, or completely dismissed.  So even after you leave or change the relationship dynamic, you're still afraid of certain emotions. It's not safe to have them or feel them.  So what do you do? You eat to avoid them.  This is why it's ESSENTIAL to heal from toxic relationships if you want to be able to lose weight and never fear gaining it back again.   You need time, exposure, and practice thinking differently and telling yourself new stories, so that you can truly lose weight and keep it off for life.  And this is exactly what I'll help you do.  It's time to create the life and body you crave.

One of the biggest desires I hear is:  "I want to get their voice out of my head."  Sometimes it's a parent or family member, sometimes it's an ex girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse, but regardless of who it is, or how long ago the relationship dynamic changed,  Their voice can still sound really loud in your head.  And if you let it, it will hold you back from creating new things.  Keep listening to today's episode to learn more about why it's so hard to get rid of these voices, and how to truly change this habit.  And if you'd like some help letting go of your ex's or parent's narcy voice that's still stuck in your head, I'd love to help.
