Twenty years ago, a cheesecake became much more than a dessert to me—it was a lifeline during a storm of stress and emotions. Now, as Coach Mikki, I'm ready to share that story with you, and in doing so, shed light on the often-hidden struggle with binge eating. Through a series of candid reflections, this episode peels back the layers of emotional eating and the complex triggers that often lead us into these secretive battles. From past experiences as a martial arts instructor to the present-day quest for self-understanding, I invite you to walk alongside me in this journey of awareness and healing.

The honesty continues as I recount a day when my only solace was that same cheesecake, revealing the stark reality of how we sometimes cope with life's frustrations. But it's not just about the food; it's about the choices we face and the roads we take in dealing with our emotions. Observing others, like the woman who chose the gym over indulgence, sparks a conversation about the paths we carve out in moments of distress. This narrative isn't just a personal confession; it's an exploration into the heart of why we binge and a reminder that we're not navigating these waters alone.

As your guide, I'm committing to more than just sharing my experiences—I'm here to provide actionable advice and support. Breaking free from the control of food requires self-awareness and a willingness to chart your emotional states and choices. Together, we'll celebrate each step forward, no matter how small, and embrace the empowerment that comes from understanding our emotional triggers and setting boundaries. Join me for a heart-to-heart on overcoming binge eating, and let's take the next step toward a healthier, happier you.
