If you’ve ever said “I know what to do… I just can’t make myself do it,” this episode is your missing puzzle piece. 💗🎙️
Most women try to fix binge eating with more discipline, stricter macros, or another round of talk therapy — but none of those work if your nervous system is still dysregulated.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:
✨ Why binge eating is a survival response, not a willpower issue
✨ How polyvagal theory explains why you “black out” or go on autopilot
✨ Why you cannot talk, journal, or mindset your way out of a binge urge
✨ The real reason every diet or plan has failed you
✨ And how nervous system regulation finally puts YOU back in control
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, ashamed, or confused about why you keep losing control around food — this episode will make everything click.
🎧 Listen now and learn why regulating your body is the key to ending binge eating for good.

This episode is the one I wish I had 10 years ago.
For a decade, I lived in the cycle of:
restrict → binge → guilt → start over → swear “this time will be different”… and repeat.
And nothing helped.
Not willpower.
Not diets.
Not tracking.
Not “starting over Monday.”
Not therapy alone.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing:
✨ The darkest parts of my binge eating journey
✨ The fitness-girl identity that kept me secretly struggling
✨ The moment everything collapsed (and why that was the breakthrough)
✨ The ONE shift that changes everything — the root cause nobody talks about
✨ And how this shift has now helped thousands of women inside TEW break free too
If you’ve ever felt “broken,” “out of control,” or like “nothing works for me”… you need this episode.
You are NOT the problem.
Your strategy was.
And today, that changes.
🎧 Tune in & DM me your thoughts — I’d love to hear your story.

Everyone thinks December is a “write-off”…
but honestly? That mindset is the reason most women start the new year exhausted, heavier, and stuck in the same cycle.
In this week’s podcast, I talk about:
✨ Why you can lose weight in December
✨ Why waiting for January delays your results more than anything else
✨ The importance of accountability + having a real coach
✨ How the most successful women get ahead before the new year
✨ And how both Carina and I wasted THOUSANDS by “starting fresh in January” — only to feel worse
If you’ve ever told yourself “I’ll be good next year,” this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.
You deserve to start 2026 already winning — not recovering from another chaotic, all-or-nothing December.

For every woman who’s ever spent Christmas battling food instead of making memories — this episode is for you 🤍
We’re talking about:
✨ The Christmas that broke me (and why it changed everything)
✨ Why holiday bingeing isn’t lack of discipline — it’s your nervous system
✨ How “I’ll be good” turns into “I ruined it, screw it” every time
✨ Real tools to eat guilt-free and enjoy food instead of obsessing over it
✨ The emotional side of holidays + why comfort eating makes sense (but doesn’t have to control you)
If you’ve ever:
❄️ canceled plans to binge alone
🎄 promised yourself you'd “start fresh in January”
🍫 eaten until it hurt then cried in the bathroom
🧠 wished you could just be normal around Christmas food…
You are not broken.
You're not weak.
You're not alone.
This is the episode where you’ll breathe deeper, feel seen, and remember your power.
And if you’re ready to actually enjoy Christmas — without panic, guilt, or restriction — come ride with me 🎅🚂✨

From standing on the world stage in FMG…
to choosing an indefinite break from competing.
Sam’s journey is the reminder so many women need to hear:
You can love something deeply —
and still choose yourself over it.
In today’s episode we talk about:
✨ Going from 2nd in the world → to stepping away
✨ Grieving her step-dad while still “having to perform”
✨ Missing family events + life moments in pursuit of achievement
✨ Who you are when the show day adrenaline disappears
✨ The uncomfortable in-between of losing an identity
✨ And the courage it takes to build a life outside the stage
This episode isn’t just for athletes —
it’s for anyone who’s ever poured their heart into a dream,
hit the pinnacle…
and then had to redefine who they are without it.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do
is not push harder…
but soften, pause, and ask:
“Who am I when there’s nothing to prove?”
💗 Listen to this one. It will change you.

You can’t heal what you keep hiding.
For years, I thought if I just had more willpower, I could fix my binge eating on my own.
I didn’t tell anyone. I thought no one would understand.
And every time I promised myself, “This is the last time,”
I found myself back in the same cycle — alone, ashamed, and starting over again on Monday.
But here’s what I learned…
👉 Binge eating thrives in isolation.
Because the shame, secrecy, and hiding?
That’s what keeps your nervous system in survival mode.
You’re not binging because you’re broken —
you’re binging because your body is craving safety and connection.
And as long as you keep trying to “handle it alone,”
you’ll keep repeating the same pattern.
Healing starts the moment you stop hiding.
The moment you let yourself be seen — messy, imperfect, and human.
Because binge eating grows in isolation,
but healing? Healing happens in connection. 💗

Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you train, track, or restrict… it’s never enough? That belief didn’t just come out of nowhere — it’s rooted in childhood experiences of not being seen, validated, or accepted.
In this episode, I unpack:
Why the “not enough” story fuels binge eating
How childhood dynamics shape adult food struggles
What it really takes to heal and break the cycle
This isn’t about willpower. It’s about rewriting the story you’ve been carrying for years.
Listen now and remember: you were always enough.

Have you ever told yourself, *“I’ll get help once I lose a few kilos”… or, “I’m not bad enough yet to deserve recovery”?
This belief keeps so many women stuck in the binge–restrict cycle — waiting until they’re “small enough” or “sick enough” before reaching for support. But the truth is: you don’t have to hit a certain weight before you’re allowed to stop suffering.
And inside The Empowered Woman, I help women stop binge eating, regulate their nervous system, and create lasting peace with food — without waiting until they “look the part.”
You don’t need to shrink yourself before you deserve help. You already deserve recovery, and it starts today.

You smash your workouts Monday to Friday.
You track your macros, prep your meals, and feel like you’re finally on track…
Here’s the truth: you don’t binge because you’re weak. You binge because your brain and body are on autopilot, trying to protect you from restriction, stress, and overwhelm.

I thought tracking was the answer.
If I could just hit the numbers, I’d finally be “in control.”
But here’s the thing no one tells you:
Tracking isn’t bad in itself — but how you use it matters.
For me, it became an escape. A way to avoid emotions, numb discomfort, and feel “safe.”
And when tracking stopped working?
I replaced it with binge eating.
Because the problem was never the food or the numbers — it was what I was avoiding beneath them.
This is exactly what I dive into on this week’s podcast:
Why restriction backfires
How tracking can turn toxic
What actually helps you feel in control again
If you’ve been stuck bouncing between tracking, restricting, and binging,
and you want to lose weight and "tone up" in a way that doesn't require MFP — this episode is for you.

If you’ve been in therapy for months and you're STILL binge eating… this might be why....
Because binge eating isn’t just about food.
And it’s not a willpower issue.
It’s an unmet needs issue.
It’s an I-don’t-know-how-to-sit-with-this-emotion issue.
It’s a my body doesn’t feel safe issue.
The clinical world wants to talk about coping mechanisms, meal plans, and food journaling.
And yes, those things can help.
But when your nervous system is fried,
When your inner child is screaming,
When you’ve got no tools to actually feel your feelings in your body—
Talking about it once a week with a therapist?
That’s not enough.
If you feel like you've tried it all to stop binging - this episode is for you!

Anxiety isn’t who you are — it’s a nervous system trying to protect you.
If you’ve ever asked:
👉 “Why do I feel anxious for no reason?”
👉 “Why can’t I just relax?”
👉 “Why does calm feel… weird?”
This episode is for you.
We’re talking:
— What anxiety really is (hint: it’s not weakness)
— Why calm feels unfamiliar when your body’s used to chaos
— How to actually work with anxiety instead of fighting it
— Real tools that soothe your nervous system — not shame it
The goal isn’t to “never feel anxious again.”
The goal is to feel safe even when anxiety shows up.

We explore the most common mindset blocks that hold athletes back, from perfectionism to identity struggles, and how discipline can easily tip into obsession or burnout if left unchecked. A major theme throughout the episode is the critical role of self-worth—especially in the vulnerable post-show period when physiques soften, and the stage lights are off.
You’ll hear insights on how athletes sometimes tie their entire identity to their bodies, the risks that come with that, and how to rebuild a sense of self beyond aesthetics. We also get into reverse dieting, post-show recovery, and how to protect mental health during these phases.
Whether you’re a competitor, coach, or just someone curious about the sport, this episode offers a refreshing perspective rooted in both compassion and realism. We end with game-changing mindset shifts and advice the coach wishes they could tell their younger self—and anyone thinking of stepping on stage.
