Description
This isn’t another nutrition podcast telling you what to eat.
It’s a safe space to unlearn shame, heal your relationship with food, and come home to yourself.
Hosted by Rob — coach, father, and founder of The 4R Method — this podcast is for women ready to break free from emotional eating, body image obsession, binge-restrict cycles, and the quiet war you've been fighting with food for years.
In solo, thought-provoking episodes, Rob blends trauma-informed coaching, psychology, and real-life stories to help you move beyond surface-level fixes and finally feel safe in your body.
Expect compassion without coddling.
Depth without overwhelm.
And powerful tools to stop overeating, release food guilt, and find lasting food freedom.
Rob's talent is to help you understand yourself in ways you've never really been able to.
Whether you're struggling with binge eating, all-or-nothing thinking, or years of toxic dieting — you’ll hear the raw truth and the heart behind healing.
Listen weekly and begin your journey back to wholeness.

You can’t think your way to a breakthrough ... but that won’t stop you from trying. In this episode of It Was Never About The Food, Rob shares how a spontaneous trip to London gave him more clarity in 4 days than a year of “scheduled” self-reflection. No journaling. No routine. No pressure to perform. Just space, and the permission to not figure it all out. Inside this episode: Why most breakthroughs don’t come from effort, they come from spaceHow overthinking clogs your nervous system and bl...
Most people think healing is about fixing. Fixing your past. Fixing your patterns. Fixing your so-called flaws. But what if that belief is the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode of It Was Never About The Food, Rob unpacks the truth most self-help content avoids: 👉 Healing doesn't start when you chase more knowledge, routines, or control. 👉 Healing begins when you stop trying to fix yourself. Inside this episode: Why constantly “working on yourself” might be another form of self-...
If you’ve ever said, “Why do I always go back to food?” — this episode is for you. In this powerful reframing, Rob shares why emotional eating isn’t about weakness, lack of willpower, or escape. It’s about safety. It’s about regulation. It’s the nervous system’s way of bringing you back home when everything else feels too much. Inside this episode: Why emotional eating is often a return to familiarity, not avoidanceThe link between binge eating and inner child traumaHow your body uses food to...
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough… this episode is your permission slip to pause and realise how far you’ve actually come. In this episode of It Was Never About The Food, Rob flips the script and delivers a much-needed reminder: 👉 You’re not behind. 👉 You’re not stuck. 👉 You’re not a failure. You’ve just been doing the emotional work for so long, you stopped recognising what healing actually looks like. Inside: Why growth often feels boring, quiet, or “not enough”How to spo...
Ever talk yourself out of something that would’ve actually changed your life? You say things like “I can’t afford it” or “Now’s not the right time” - but deep down, if that same opportunity was for your child, your partner, or literally anyone else… you’d move heaven and earth to make it happen. In this episode, Rob breaks down what he calls the Saboteur’s Ceiling — the emotional upper limit you unknowingly install to keep yourself from receiving more success, joy, rest, nourishment, or grow...
If you’ve ever felt like you’re living a double life looking strong, successful, and sorted on the outside, but secretly falling apart behind closed doors, this episode is for you. Rob gets brutally honest about what it’s like to be the one who always has it together, while silently carrying emotional eating, burnout, shame, and high-functioning anxiety underneath it all. Inside this episode: Why “strong” doesn’t mean “safe”How people-pleasing and perfectionism become emotional masksWhat no o...
In this episode of It Was Never About The Food, Rob explores how childhood conditioning shapes adult identity — and what happens when you spend your life performing for love.

We dive into: Why so many women feel like they’re “too much” or “not enough”How subtle emotional pressure in childhood creates performance-based self-worthWhat it means to take the m...
