Creating Your Roadmap for Recovery
You've done it before in other areas of your life—maybe landing that dream job, finding your partner, or achieving a goal you once thought was impossible. So why does food feel so different? Why do you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns?In this episode, I'll show you that you actually have TWO roadmaps operating in your life: one that leads you toward what you want, and another that keeps you driving in circles, feeling frustrated and defeated.I break down exactly how to identify both roadmaps so you can recognize when you're headed toward food freedom vs. when you're going in the opposite direction, apply the same success blueprint you've used before to create lasting peace with food, and get back on track quickly when you notice you've missed a turn.This isn't about willpower or another eating strategy. It's about understanding that binges are simply a light on your dashboard—and learning how to read the map that's been there all along.If you've ever felt like you're great at achieving goals in other areas but can't seem to figure out food, this episode will help you map out your path to recovery so that you can cultivate the freedom you crave.Ready to understand what's really going on under the hood so you can finally break free from the binge cycle?
