EP212: How food and weight have been in the nine years since I stopped binge eating

In this episode, I share some brand new things I’ve been seeing about food, weight concerns, diet and binge eating. Much of it is around physical and mental restriction of food.

EP211: Other people don’t have opinions. Only you do. 

Do other people’s opinions bring you down? You’re doing great, but their opinions threaten that. Do other people trigger you? You don’t agree with what they say at all, but you can’t help but feel triggered by their words. Guess what? Other people only exist as thought showing up within you. If “they” aren’t in your

EP209: There is no reason

Are there reasons for things?  Your mind definitely thinks there are. Not only does everything have a reason (according to your mind), it’s very important that you know the reasons. Reasons equal control, and control equals survival. So, yes…we often seem to reside in a world full of separate things with lots of reasons that explain

There is No Reason

What if there is no actual reason for anything? I mean, there is and there isn’t. In the linear, cause and effect, mentally created story of life, there are oodles of reasons. Everything has a reason in that world. In a way, that world is completely made up of reasons, causes, explanations, and if-this-then-that’s. In that world, you’re
