Send us a textI am so pleased that Ana Escobar joined me to speak about relationships with people who have bulimia. Both sides. Our process of being with someone while being bulimic, and our partner's reaction. I loved that Ana speaks about how it is difficult for someone you are with to understand bulimia and the relationship with food if they don't have that issue.There has to be an understanding on the bulimic's side that some people in a relationship do not want to deal ...

Rodney speaks about nutrition and shares how people's spoken words can affect you. Too skinny? Too fat? Many times people say things and you have to reframe those words. Mindset. Reframing and conditioning your mind with positive things, says Rodney.Turn things...
Send us a textKatharine is lovely. Everyone tells you to forgive. Or to forgive and forget. She said maybe a Unicorn exists and that there is someone who can forgive and forget. But she said she is not that person.Just because you forgive doesn't mean you have to continue with a relationship.Katharine said forgiveness is selfish. It's for you. If you dumb it down, you want to stop thinking about that person. You want all of it out of your head. ...

Send us a textDr. Kim Peirano has dealt with people with eating disorders with her own story. She said she was never really interested in acupuncture. She had many different interests and realized she was ADHD and it made sense. She graduated from the Arts with a sculpture degree, which she realized may not be financially feasible.She took yoga and was fascinated. That was when she wanted to become a Naturopath. Through the Pandemic she realized she couldn't put ...
Send us a textWhat a great conversation with Clint! I learned so much. I always do, but this was different. There is no tougher job than being a teacher, he says. I agree. Yet what was really compelling was the fact that he mentioned teachers are not taught to deal with children with mental health issues. They are not taught to be mental health communicators. So true.This became his passion and his reason for becoming a Mental Health educator. N...
Send us a textI really enjoyed having Leanne on my Podcast as a guest. What a lovely young lady with so much enthusiasm for helping those who have eating disorders understand that it is not an issue with food, it is rooted in the mental psyche. I loved when she said after she lost 100 pounds that she still saw herself through "fat goggles". (Noted the movie where the "Rock" saw the same with Kevin Heart. Listen to find out the name of the movie. :) )Diss-ease. Wh...
Send us a textWhat a lovely conversation with Dr. Fred, and his passion for his new book Find Your True Voice he says it goes along with the technology and what we talked about today and it does.It's about connecting with human beings.Dr. Fred was the youngest of 3 sons; his brothers were over 10 years older. He was told he was a bundle of love and joy. Admittedly he says maybe not all the time, but that was his memory. He watched his brothers communicate with his parents.&...
Send us a textI wanted to have Matt O'Neill as a guest because I know so many people who struggle with their moods. It was something I struggled with even more so when I was bulimic. When I gave up on bulimia and found peace within myself, my temperament changed. I won't say I still don't have those moments I snap, but as I shared, I am acutely aware of my emotions, which I wasn't when I ate them and then purged them. And you never really purge them, you bury them furt...
Send us a textI know this is a weird introduction, but the other night I watched Atlas with Jennifer Lopez. In the movie, there were AI robots. A couple of kinds. The one that saved her was the one that she had to simulate her mind with the Robot Smith. It took her all she could to do that final 100% sharing of her feelings. The key to her survival. I believe sinking with ourselves is just that. And this is where Ana's story intrigued me to how it related t...
Send us a textI know panic attacks and anxiety. Strangely I had often when I was bulimic. I would hyperventilate when I was driving and have to pull over somewhere. So John Graham was a welcoming guest on my Podcast. What causes this?I asked some questions. Is it passed down from generation to generation? Is it about nutrition?In the view of John, there is little awareness of where it comes from, but he knows. Most therapists, psychiatrists, and other...

Send us a textIt was a pleasure having Dr. Cindy Starke on the show. She says she sees women come alive all the time now.Overachieving is not the answer. Dr. Cindy Starke left her practice feeling that although she started off loving what she did, medicine became like a revolving door as time went on, like Ground Hog Day.What she learned is that her emotions are there for you. Instead of overworking to make yourself worthy, you can find yourself by finding your emotions.I lo...
Send us a textThis is an incredibly interesting Podcast with Elwin Robinson. I have always been fascinated with genetics and DNA. When Elwin reached out to me to be a guest, I was intrigued. I know many of us are also intrigued by AI and that is to make notes for us on a Podcast and pick out the important parts of our conversation. In fact, ZOOM has that and it decided to pop in to visit as a guest. I found that intrusive because I want to note my experience per...
Send us a textI was so excited to have Andrea on my Podcast as a guest and I know now why. I knew that the content would be of value to my listeners. All my guests share valuable information, but in this case, the EMDR aspect fascinated me.Andrea is very knowledgeable on so many subjects that can be connected to our recovery from bulimia and eating disorders, with one being learning how to deal with emotions. I love how this connects to the previous episode with Brady and An...

Send us a textWhat a lovely and inspiring interview with Brady Foulk. And how fun that this is episode 101. Reminded me of the 101 Dalmations. How would Brady train all 101? A question for the next time I have him on my Podcast. At first, I was wondering, when he reached out to me, how this would relate to my Podcast. He was clear on how it would. And it does. Fun pre-intro when I asked how he wanted to be introduced. He said his last name...
