Jealousy and binge eating used to derail my life. They showed up as 2am fridge raids after a tight-chested spiral of going full blown crazy-person detective mode on my partner’s phone, and “this will be my last binge” promises I never kept. I truly believed they were ingrained into my identity—toxic parts of me I’d be battling forever.

This episode is a candid look at identity change, nervous-system safety, and the frameworks I used to move from control and spirals to self-trust and regulation. I share a personal conversation around two patterns I felt destined to never escape: Binge Eating and Jealousy. And unpack my thoughts around trading control for self-trust, building safety in your body, and using lens-shifts, boundaries, and better conversations to dismantle old patterns in real time.

So, if you’ve ever thought “this is just who I am,” this episode is proof that it doesn't have to be that way.

Topics Discussed:

• Jealous spirals, story-building, and conflict you don’t know how to discuss
• Identity traps: “I’m just a jealous person” / “I’ll always binge”
• Why “people don’t change” is a protective story, not a fact
• How the frameworks that ended my bingeing helped me dismantle jealousy
• Jealousy vs. security: confidence, nervous-system safety, and identity
• The three factors in relationship triggers: you, your partner, and your worldview
• Zooming out of reactivity: “What am I making this mean?” and other lens-shifting questions
• How to handle discomfort without melting down or turning to food
• Control vs. power: boundaries, self-trust, and feeling powerful in yourself, not over someone else

If you want fewer spirals, cleaner conversations, and a version of you that doesn’t get hijacked by old patterns… press play.
