Ep 127: Prevent Emotional Eating Part 2
Emotional eating is one of the leading causes of inconsistent weight release. Last week we began to  look at some key tools to prevent emotional eating. This week I want to dive deeper into this important topic giving you even more tools and insights so that you can begin to have some leverage over this challenging cycle. For a long time, I found myself turning to food as a source of comfort during stressful moments, using it as a way to numb my emotions and avoid dealing with them. However, through my own journey, I learned how to manage my thoughts, nurture my mind, and ultimately take control of my feelings--this began to give me more power and prevent emotional eating from happening in the first place. In today’s episode, part two of preventing emotional eating, we will explore a number of effective tools to help you steer away from emotional eating. Together, we will delve into downshifting expectations and discover the power of self-comforting phrases and practices.These tools will empower you to build resilience and strength in the face of emotional triggers. As you begin to manage your emotions more effectively, you'll notice that the emotional eating muscle weakens while the emotional mastery muscle becomes stronger. The best part is, you are not alone in this journey. We are in this together, and I am committed to providing you with the guidance and support you need to succeed. So, get ready to grab that tool belt once more and join me for part two of an insightful and transformative episode.   INTRODUCTORY SALE IS ENDING FOR THE SHIFT OUT OF EMOTIONAL EATING TOOLKIT!!

Ep 124: Essential Self-Care with Dr. Z
Do you find yourself constantly taking care of others but rarely finding time for your own self-care? It's a common challenge for many of us. We dedicate ourselves to our roles as parents, employees, caregivers, and volunteers, often leaving no room for personal rejuvenation. And even when we do consider taking that much-needed time for ourselves, we often feel guilty or ashamed. The result? We become depleted and may turn to food for comfort, using overindulgence as our only treat. So for this week's episode of the Thin Thinking Podcast, we are joined by our special guest, Dr. Zerri Gross, an international bestselling author, licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed yoga instructor, and mindfulness facilitator, who will guide us through the essential topic of self-care. Dr. Z will help us understand the importance of prioritizing self-care and more importantly, how to overcome the guilt and shame associated with it. She'll show us how to carve out time for rest, rejuvenation, and what she calls "reclamation of ourselves." She also shares valuable insights on reclaiming self-care time and connecting with your inner goddess, regardless of gender. (Yes, gentlemen, you have an inner goddess too—who knew?) If you are ready for an inspiring and empowering conversation, and if you are ready to take that transformative step forward and make time for YOU, then come on in!    LAST CHANCE TO WRITE A REVIEW AND GET A CHANCE TO WIN “The Shift Out of Emotional Eating Toolkit”!
