What if the food noise in your head could finally quiet down? What if food wasn’t a source of guilt, shame, or control? What if peace with your body wasn’t just an idea, but your lived experience? In this powerful and emotional episode, I am joined with Jamie, a founding member of One Body to Love, whose story is a powerful reminder that healing from binge eating is not only possible, it's deeply personal.

Before joining the program, Jamie was overwhelmed with body grief, emotional eating, and the emotional aftermath of chronic illness. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it felt like to be stuck and how Jamie’s relationship with food, body, and self has transformed. This is a story about choice, compassion, and creating peace from the inside out.

In this episode, you will hear:

• 03:06 - The chronic illness that turned her life upside down and how it led to emotional eating as her only coping tool.
• 06:05 - Jamie opens up about grieving her old body, old life, and the role diet culture played.
• 11:33 - The quiet, everyday patterns of binge eating that started to feel unbearable and made her realize something had to change.
• 19:29 – Why being seen, heard, and understood mattered more than the food and how One Body to Love became the first space where Jamie felt truly safe to heal.
• 33:40 - How healing her relationship with food revealed a deeper truth.
• 43:08 - From “diet food” to intuitive choices: how food feels different now.
• 50:21 – How radical honesty was the beginning of everything and Jamie's final thoughts on her journey.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever whispered, “I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this” It’s about the power of choosing yourself, reconnecting with your body, rewriting your story, and realizing that healing doesn’t mean fixing what’s broken. It means learning how to listen, how to feel safe again, and how to come home to yourself.

If you saw yourself in Jamie’s story, please know, that’s not where your story has to end. I’d love to hear what stood out to you.

We do this work together, step by step, with support every single week. Until next time, be gentle with yourself.
