For years, I thought the urges to binge eat were THE problem...the thing standing between me and finally being okay. But what I eventually learned is that those urges were never the enemy. They were messengers. In this episode, I share what happened when I stopped trying to make my binge urges go away, and started listening to them instead.

The relief of letting yourself be misunderstood.
In this episode, I’m exploring what happens in our bodies when we feel misunderstood - that familiar urgency to explain ourselves, prove our intentions, or make sure we're still seen as “good” or “respectable.” Through the lens of somatic awareness and my experience in burlesque, I talk about: How old wounds of being unseen or misunderstood can resurface in adulthoodThe ways those wounds can spill out as overexplaining, people-pleasing, or numbingWhy “being gotten” once felt like safety, and ...

Best of: Healing Doesn't Happen in a Hurry (the truth about emotional, compulsive, and binge eating)
I’m bringing back an episode from 2023 that still feels deeply true: “Healing Doesn’t Happen in a Hurry.” This conversation is about the messy, nonlinear process of healing binge, emotional, and compulsive eating, and how the push to “get there faster” often keeps us stuck. If you’ve ever felt desperate to fix yourself or rush your healing, this episode is a reminder to slow down. To meet the version of you that exists right here, right now, because that’s the part that most needs your attent...

Learning to Feel Safe Again: My Complex Trauma Toolbox
Living with Complex PTSD can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to get lost in the idea that healing requires us to “fix everything” about ourselves. In this episode, I share six of the most supportive tools I’ve used in working with my own CPTSD, not as a protocol, but as a collection of practices, insights, and shifts that have helped me come home to myself and support my clients. Together, we’ll explore: Why developing a gentle inner parent changes everything.What happened when I stopp...

Living with Complex PTSD: What It Looked Like for Me
In this episode, I share a personal look at how Complex PTSD has shown up in my life — from disordered eating and chronic pain, to a critical inner voice, self-harm urges, and long stretches of isolation. We’ll also talk about what Complex PTSD actually is, how it’s different from PTSD, and why understanding our adaptations is so powerful. Because what looks like being “messed up” or “weak” is often just our body’s best attempt to help us survive. If you’ve ever struggled with shame, overwhel...

13 Years After My 3-Month Juice Fast: What I See Now
Thirteen years ago, I did a three-month juice fast. I thought it would be my big transformation...that if I could just “fix” my body, I’d finally feel both free, and deeply connected. Instead, it taught me a very different lesson: the danger of oversimplifying complex pain and treating ourselves like projects to perfect. In this episode, I share: Why fasting felt easier than learning to eat in a way that felt sane and sustainableHow I misunderstood my numbness, binge eating, and “food addicti...

Best of: Why I was numb and how I learned to feel again | Solo episode
This is one of my favorite solo episodes, and I wanted to bring it back for anyone who missed it the first time—or anyone who needs a reminder that feeling disconnected or “numb” is often a sign of a nervous system doing its best to protect you. In this episode, I share a bit of my own story of living for years feeling flat and disconnected, why that happens, and what it can look like to slowly come back to yourself.

When Nervous System Work Isn't Working
We often hear about healing the nervous system, finding calm through breathwork, or shifting into a regulated state. But what about when those practices don’t seem to work - when they don’t bring peace, and sometimes even highlight what isn’t working in our lives? In this episode, I talk about: Why calming tools can’t fix situations that aren’t right for usHow regulation can reveal where change is neededWhat it really means to “come home” to ourselves Links: Work with Rande Free Spirit A...

When Self-Improvement Becomes Self-Abandonment
In this solo episode, I’m sharing some of my own story: like years of rigid routines, juice fasts, and trying to follow every “right” ritual to become someone who finally felt free, healed, and whole. But what I found was that all the "being good" didn’t actually leave me feeling at home in myself. You'll hear me talk about: - How "self-improvement" can sometimes be a subtle form of self-rejection - Why rushing or “shoulds” on our healing or growth path tends to keep us loop...

How Trauma Impacted My Relationship With Food and My Body
If you’ve been listening for any length of time, you know I believe that food struggles are never just about food. They’re often symptoms of something deeper - like trying to feel some sense of control after trauma or long-term stress, trying to survive in a culture that profits off us hating our bodies, or simply trying to make living inside ourselves bearable. This episode touches on: - My 15+ year struggle with food control and binge eating. - The impact of religious trauma, diet, ...

Coming Out and Leaving the Church with my High School Sweetheart.
Today I have something a little different for you. Last year, I went to my 20th high school reunion. I attended a Seventh-day Adventist boarding school, and going back felt like stepping into another lifetime. If I’d thought about religious trauma before that experience, I’ve been thinking about it a lot more since. You’ll hear me talk about that today, but what’s different is that this episode is actually from a brand new podcast I co-host called Ask Me a Question. I created this podcast wit...

The Top 10 Mistakes I Made On My Healing Journey.
THE TOP 10 MISTAKES I’VE MADE ON MY HEALING JOURNEY: Honestly, I cringe a bit using the words "healing" OR "journey" because the internet is so oversaturated with wellness or spiritual teachers. I'm not interested in making "healing" my whole personality, but simultaneously I have always had this deep interest in why things hurt. What any kind of pain, emotional, mental, or physical, is saying. and coming from a background of religious and family trauma, being queer and undiagnosed neurodiver...

My Body is Not a Project | Solo Episode
I love a project. I love working towards something. I think that's pretty human. But for a long time my body was my project. I grew up in a holistic, Seventh-Day Adventist, vegetarian home. we used homeopathy and natural remedies and drank carrot juice and ate homemade bread. To this day I LOVE the taste of barley green powder because I have early memories of drinking it as something that would support my health. I wanted to know about all the supplements in the kitchen cupboard and what they...

Navigating symptoms and flares without shame | Solo episode
So many folks I see, and this was me too, attach goodness and morality to their health. If something is wrong, they feel wrong. They will spin into stories about how they're creating their own disease or this is going to turn into something far worse. Can you make some space for the fact that not all of the contributing factors were in your hands? Your genetics, adverse childhood experiences, your environment and day to day stressors that accumulate. There are areas where we hav...
