This week on One Body to Love, we’re exploring the deeply personal and often misunderstood relationship women have with food, particularly focusing on emotional eating and the pressures of caregiving. What feels like “losing control” is often the only place your body finally feels allowed to let go. This isn’t a discipline problem, it’s depletion. We’ll discuss how emotional suppression, over-responsibility and the pressure to be everything for everyone can lead to food becoming your only source of release. The conversation emphasizes that binging is not a failure of willpower but rather an emotional response.
In this episode, you will hear:
• 01:50 – The hidden cost of holding it all together and running on fumes.
• 02:45 – Binging as a release and how your nervous system uses food to decompress.
• 03:34 – A personal example of how parenting, daily stress, and exhaustion reduces emotional capacity for things like movement and self-care.
• 05:27 – How your body responds when you continually ignore its emotional and physical signals and why it often turns to food.
• 06:20 – The shame tied to rest, space, and food, and why we eat in secret when we can’t ask for what we need.
• 07:00 – Prompts to reflect on your relationship with food: What if the eating that feels so chaotic or shameful is actually your body asking for connection? What if binge eating isn’t sabotage, but self-protection?
• 07:25 – The approach inside One Body to Love and how healing begins by listening to what food behaviors are trying to express
If food has become your only form of rest, comfort, or release, I hope this episode shows you a new way forward, with more compassion, capacity, and care. You don't have to keep carrying everything alone and you don't have to keep using food as your only outlet. Inside my One Body to Love program you’ll find everything you need to begin healing your relationship with food, with support every step of the way.
