  • 325. How I stopped using food to cope with my emotions… Kat’s Food Freedom Journey

    38:46||Ep. 325
    In this episode, Kat shares her powerful transformation through Food Freedom. Before starting the program, Kat was living in constant burnout. She felt exhausted, anxious, overstimulated, and depressed.She reached a point where she couldn’t leave her house for months. Food, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm controlled her daily life, and previous therapy had left her without practical tools or real change.Through Food Freedom, everything shifted. With structured eating, personalised feedback, community support, and weekly group calls, Kat began rebuilding trust in herself. She learned how to sit with emotions instead of self-sabotaging, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and create new habits grounded in self-compassion.Food Freedom didn’t just help Kat heal her relationship with food, it helped her reconnect with her mind, body, and sense of safety.This episode highlights how true change comes from support, structure, and learning to work with your thoughts rather than fighting yourself.If you are ready to change your relationship with food, book a 1:1 eating evaluation call.https://stan.store/mindfoodsteph/mindfoodsteph_funnel_52681Disclaimer: all episodes are educational and not a substitute for therapy or medical advice.

  • 323. Breaking the Binge Cycle Through Permission, Not Control | Ep 323

    26:56||Ep. 323
    After years of binge eating, emotional eating, and extreme dieting, Michelle tried something radical: she stopped restricting.In this episode, Michelle reflects on her 12-week journey of food freedom and how letting go of food rules, rather than doubling down on discipline, finally stopped the binge urges.We talk about why restriction fuels binge eating, how “food addiction” beliefs can keep people stuck, and why healing your relationship with food often needs psychological safety, not another plan.This conversation also explores hormones, self-blame, GLP-1 medications, and how to pursue health (protein, fiber, strength) without triggering old patterns.Book a retreat call HEREVisit the retreat website HERE FREE Resources:Download my [FREE binge eating tracker tool] To access more of my courses use this:https://stan.store/mindfoodstephDo you have any questions?
