Journey to Food Freedom: Navigating Emotional Eating with Jane Pilger

Journey to Food Freedom: Navigating Emotional Eating with Jane Pilger

When Jane Pilger joined me for a heart-to-heart, we didn't just chat; we ventured deep into the emotional labyrinth of food freedom and body trust. Our candid conversation spanned from Jane's valiant conquest over a 25-year battle with binge eating disorder to the eye-opening realization that traditional eating disorder treatments might just be fanning the flames they aim to extinguish. Together, we unravel the snarls of self-doubt and self-sabotage that entangle our eating habits, highlighting the power of internal safety and trust as beacons to guide us through the stormy seas of dietary struggles.Navigating the tempestuous waters where food meets emotion, Jane and I embarked on a quest to understand the 'why' behind our food choices. We discovered that the anticipation of scarcity – think of the great toilet paper hoard of 2020 – can lead to a feast-or-famine mentality in our diets. By fostering a compassionate curiosity within, we learned how to better understand our emotional appetite, its origins, and how to approach it with the finesse of a seasoned emotional gourmet. Our dialogue serves as a map to understanding that emotional eating isn't just about lack of willpower; it's a complex dance with our nervous system and unprocessed feelings that requires patience and presence to master.As we wrapped up our heartfelt exchange, we celebrated the indomitable spirit of the 'Jane' in every tribe – that force of nature who drives us forward with intention and connection. We mused over the art of crafting strong, vibrant communities, both personally and professionally, and reveled in the joy that blossoms from shared narratives and experiences. Jane's wisdom underscored the transformative impact of nurturing these connections, and we left our listeners with a treasure trove of actionable insights to build their own tribes, rich in trust and unity. Join us for this soul-nourishing episode that's more than just a conversation – it's a journey towards embracing the essence of who we are, one bite at a time.Connect with Jane:#intuitiveeating #foodfreedom #findyourladytribe #livingwholeYOUConnect with Brenda: Website Facebook YouTube Instagram Buy Lady and the Tribe; How to Create Empowering Friendship Circles Join the Inner Circle Newsletter

Transformative Pathways to Health and Happiness in Midlife

When menopause approached, it dawned on me: the transformation waiting on the other side was both a challenge and an opportunity. Dr. Andrea Maxim, naturopathic doctor and mindset maestro, joins us to reveal how midlife is not a crisis but a renaissance for women. Together, we traverse the landscape of health and self-discovery, unlocking the synergy between physical well-being and a nourished spirit. Our conversation is a beacon for those seeking to align their life's purpose with genuine joy and a nourished sense of self, highlighting the pivotal role of finding one's tribe and the collective strength it provides.Weight isn't just about the physical—it's a tapestry woven with our emotional experiences, often serving as a shield from life's slings and arrows. This episode peels back the layers of 'protective weight,' examining how emotional release can lead to profound healing and growth. We confront societal expectations head-on, advocating for a paradigm shift in motherhood and relationships. By championing self-care and demonstrating the power of resilience to our children, we model a legacy of independence and love that outshines any societal mold.We close the show by sharing the transformative power of gratitude and the art of boundary-setting. We dissect the steps of personal evolution, from cultivating habits that fortify mental pathways to embracing the freedom of saying 'no' without justification. Dr. Maxim and I discuss how the simple act of daily gratitude can illuminate the joyous undercurrent of life, reinforcing that joy is a choice we must actively pursue. So, let's connect, support one another, and remember: our tribe is a source of boundless empowerment, and together, we thrive.Connect with Dr. Andrea Maxim - www.andreamaxim.comIG - @themaximmovement Connect with Brenda: Website Facebook YouTube Instagram Buy Lady and the Tribe; How to Create Empowering Friendship Circles Join the Inner Circle Newsletter
