Episode 236: Validation vs. Growth: The Hidden Trap Keeping You Stuck in Food Addiction

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary dives deep into the difference between validation and growth in food addiction recovery. Many women get stuck seeking reassurance and understanding, but real food sobriety requires action, responsibility, and the willingness to be uncomfortable.


Mary explores how validation can become a trap that keeps you stuck in old patterns and how to shift from simply being seen to actually being transformed. You’ll learn why emotional validation is essential but not enough, what it looks like when we use it as an excuse to avoid growth, and how to take the next right step toward lasting recovery.


If you’ve ever said, “I just needed to know it’s not my fault,” this episode will help you take that realization and turn it into forward motion.

Episode 234: Metabolic Syndrome: When Your Relationship With Food Affects Your Health

Metabolic syndrome affects millions of women and many don’t even realize they have it.


If you’ve been doing “everything right” with food, dieting, or weight loss but still struggle with belly fat, blood sugar issues, fatigue, cravings, or stubborn weight that won’t budge, this episode is for you.


In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, I break down what metabolic syndrome actually is, how it develops, and why it’s not a willpower problem.


Drawing on the research and teachings of Dr. Ben Bikman, we talk about the real root cause behind metabolic syndrome: insulin resistance and how years of blood sugar spikes, emotional eating, food addiction, and chronic dieting quietly set the stage for metabolic dysfunction.


You’ll learn:

• What metabolic syndrome is and how it shows up in the body

• Why insulin resistance, not calories, is the real driver

• How food addiction and emotional eating contribute to metabolic damage

• Why traditional dieting often makes metabolic syndrome worse

• What actually helps reverse metabolic syndrome in a sustainable way

• How food sobriety and real food can support metabolic healing


This episode connects the dots between metabolic health and your relationship with food, so you can stop blaming yourself and start working with your body instead of against it.


If you’re ready to understand why your body has been fighting you and what to do about it, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and a path forward.

Food Freedom
Episode 233: Why Chasing ‘Strong & Healthy’ Isn’t Diet Culture

Can you have health or weight loss goals in recovery from food addiction, binge eating, or compulsive eating without being disordered?


In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary breaks down a common and damaging myth in the recovery space: that wanting to change your body or improve your health automatically means you’re slipping back into disordered thinking or diet culture.


The truth is having health or aesthetic goals is not the problem. The real issue is how those goals are pursued and whether they support or sabotage your recovery.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why wanting weight loss or aesthetic goals does NOT mean you’re failing at recovery

• The critical difference between recovery-driven goals and diet-culture behavior

• How to evaluate your health decisions through the lens of food sobriety

• Why recovery must always come first and how goals can coexist without relapse

• How to pursue strength, confidence, and better health without returning to obsession or restriction


If you’re in recovery from food addiction or emotional eating and feel conflicted about wanting to change your body, this episode will bring clarity, relief, and permission to move forward without compromising your freedom.

Episode 232: Your Recovery Isn’t Amazon Prime

**This episode was recorded in October**

If you’re frustrated that your weight, cravings, blood sugar, or health “aren’t fixing fast enough,” this episode is your reality check.


In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Coach Mary breaks down why true healing from food addiction, emotional eating, and metabolic damage cannot happen on a 30-day timeline and why expecting quick fixes keeps so many people stuck in relapse, burnout, and self-blame.


You’ll learn why detoxes, supplements, and medications often provide short-term symptom relief but fail to create lasting change, how biology actually heals at its own pace, and why consistency, not urgency, is the key to real food freedom.


Mary explains how years of stress, processed foods, dieting, and using food as a coping mechanism reshape your body and brain and why reversing that damage requires patience, a roadmap, and stacked daily wins over time.


If you’re tired of chasing fast results and ready to build real, sustainable healing from the inside out, this episode will help you shift your mindset and stay committed to food sobriety for the long haul.

Self-esteem plays a much bigger role in food addiction, binge eating, and emotional eating than most people realize.

  • ​ Why “confidence” and willpower aren’t the same thing in recovery

Episode 230: What Food Sobriety Means to Me

What if food sobriety wasn’t about restriction, control, or “being good”… but about peace?


In this episode, I’m sharing what food sobriety truly means to me after nearly 12 years in recovery. Not the polished version, but the real one, showing up for myself, feeling emotions instead of escaping them, building self-trust, setting boundaries, and finally living with clarity and presence.


Food sobriety didn’t shrink my life it expanded it. It brought mental peace, authentic joy, and the freedom to be fully myself without apology.


If you’re tired of battling food, stuck in emotional eating, or longing for a calmer relationship with food and with yourself, this episode will help you reframe what recovery can actually look like.

Episode 229: Why “Knowing What to Do” Isn’t Enough to Stop Emotional Eating

Do you feel like food takes up way more space in your mind than it should even when you “know what to do”?


In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down why emotional eating, binge eating, and food obsession are not caused by a lack of willpower. Instead, they’re driven by deeper emotional patterns like perfectionism, guilt, self-judgment, and using control as a coping mechanism.


If you’re stuck in the exhausting cycle of doing well for a while, then feeling like everything falls apart overnight, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and why trying harder only keeps you trapped.


Mary shares both personal insight from decades of recovery and professional experience coaching women toward food sobriety, self-trust, and lasting peace with food.


If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing mindset and ready for a more compassionate, psychology-based approach to emotional eating recovery, this episode is for you.

Episode 228: This Is Why You’re Not Free Yet

If you’re trying to recover from food addiction but still feel stuck in the cycle of bingeing, restricting, negotiating with food, and starting over every Monday, this episode is for you.


In this powerful Food Freedom Podcast episode, Mary breaks down why you can’t heal food addiction while keeping one foot on both sides of the line. Living in the “comfort zone” not fully committing, promising tomorrow, white-knuckling through good days and falling apart on hard ones is where food addiction and disordered eating patterns survive.


This episode goes beyond willpower and motivation and gets to the real issue: truth, commitment, and making a clear decision to pursue food sobriety. Mary explains why managing the crazy isn’t recovery, how the comfort zone feels safer than change, and why freedom from binge eating and compulsive eating starts with drawing a hard line.


If you struggle with emotional eating, food obsession, or feel like you keep repeating the same patterns with food, this episode will challenge you to stop negotiating and start choosing real healing.


You’ll learn:

• Why the “comfort zone” keeps you stuck in food addiction

• The difference between managing symptoms and true recovery

• Why willpower isn’t the solution to binge eating and emotional eating

• How commitment and structure create food sobriety and peace with food


This episode is for anyone ready to stop playing games with food, break free from disordered eating behaviors, and finally experience lasting food freedom.

Food Freedom
Episode 227: Bingeing vs Overeating

Are you binge eating… or just overeating? And does the difference really matter?


In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down why focusing on labels like binging versus overeating often keeps people stuck and why the real issue isn’t food at all, but the feeling of being out of control.


Whether you’re struggling with binge eating, emotional eating, or repeated overeating, this episode explains why both experiences are valid, painful, and worthy of healing. Mary explores the deeper root causes behind feeling out of control with food, including restriction, nervous system dysregulation, emotional overwhelm, and the need for control.


You’ll learn:

• The difference between binge eating and overeating and why obsessing over the label can block healing

• How restriction, stress, and nervous system imbalance drive overeating and binge cycles

• The science-based approach to healing your relationship with food

• The spiritual and emotional work required to release control and build food freedom

• Why true recovery comes from addressing overwhelm, not trying to “fix” food


If you feel ashamed, stuck, or frustrated with your eating behaviors, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a path forward. Healing is possible and it starts by addressing the root cause, not the symptoms.

Food Freedom
Episode 226: Excuses and Justifications

Excuses and justifications don’t come from weakness they come from the eating disorder voice.


In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, we’re talking about the voice of sabotage and how it fuels binge eating, compulsive eating, and disordered eating behaviors.


If you’ve ever caught yourself saying:

• “I deserve this.”

• “I’ll start over tomorrow.”

• “One bite won’t hurt.”

• “I already blew it, so I might as well keep going.”


…this episode is for you.


You’ll learn why most binges don’t “just happen,” how the ED brain uses logic and emotion to justify eating against your values, the real consequences of believing those excuses, and practical ways to recognize and stop the justification-binge cycle before it takes over.


This episode is especially helpful for anyone recovering from binge eating disorder, food addiction, emotional eating, or compulsive eating who wants to build food sobriety, self-trust, and long-term freedom with food.


🎧 Listen in to learn how to identify the eating disorder voice, stop negotiating with it, and choose recovery even when it’s uncomfortable.

Episode 224: Transfer Addiction: Why One Coping Tool Ends and Another Begins

In this episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of recovery: transfer addiction, when you stop one coping behavior, only to find yourself picking up another.


If you’ve ever quit binge eating only to start nightly wine…

Or stopped drinking but suddenly can’t stop snacking…

Or overly restricted food and found yourself scrolling, shopping, or staying “busy” to avoid feelings…


You’re not failing. You’re experiencing a nervous system still searching for safety.


Mary explains why transfer addiction happens, how it shows up in food addiction recovery, and what your brain is actually trying to protect you from. You’ll learn the signs of transfer addiction, how to recognize when a “new” habit is really an emotional coping strategy, and what to do to break the cycle for good.


This episode gives you practical tools to support your nervous system, regulate emotions without numbing, and build real food sobriety without swapping one addiction for another.


If you’re healing binge eating, emotional eating, compulsive behaviors, or any form of food addiction, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to move forward with clarity and compassion.

Episode 223: Your Comfort Zone Is Killing Your Progress

In this episode of the Food Freedom podcast, Mary dives into the deceptive trap of the comfort zone and why it’s one of the biggest obstacles to real recovery from food addiction and disordered eating.


If you’ve ever felt “stuck” in your healing journey, this episode will challenge the lie that comfort equals safety. Mary explains how staying in your comfort zone leads to shrinking dreams, fading confidence, and a stalled recovery. You’ll learn how avoidance creates emotional decay, why growth feels uncomfortable by design, and how to start expanding your capacity to face cravings, triggers, and hard emotions without food.


This episode is a wake-up call for anyone using food to cope, numb, or avoid. It’s time to break out of what’s familiar and step into freedom, one uncomfortable choice at a time.

Episode 219: The Core Beliefs Driving Your Food Addiction

In this powerful episode of the Food Freedom Podcast, Mary breaks down the three types of core beliefs that quietly shape your relationship with food: how you see yourself, how you view others, and how you perceive the world. These deep, often subconscious beliefs influence emotional eating, binge eating, food addiction patterns, and your ability to stay food sober—far more than willpower ever could.


You’ll learn how childhood experiences, trauma, instability, criticism, and unmet needs form core beliefs that later drive compulsive eating and sabotage recovery. Mary explains why so many people feel unworthy of healing, why isolation fuels relapse, and why food often becomes a source of safety, comfort, and control.


This episode will help you understand the real root of your eating behaviors and give you the awareness needed to begin rewriting the beliefs that keep you stuck. If you’ve ever wondered why you run to food even when you don’t want to, why you sabotage progress, or why recovery feels so emotional, this episode will connect the dots.


Whether you’re working on binge eating recovery, emotional eating patterns, or long-term food sobriety, this conversation will help you shift your identity, build trust in yourself, and create the internal safety your nervous system needs to heal.
