Why do you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns?

In this week's episode of the Binge Eating Breakthrough Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Deb Drummond, who opens up about her remarkable journey from using food as an emotional crutch to discovering genuine food freedom. Deb's story is one that might feel familiar – from her fast-paced music industry days to her awakening about how she was using even "healthy" foods in unhealthy ways.

I recently ran the Eugene Marathon - and I qualified for Boston. But what made this race so meaningful wasn’t just the finish time. It was how I showed up when things got hard.

In today's episode, I share what happened when I watched Olympic and Paralympic athletes discuss their body image struggles on Project Runway.
