THE REAL REASON FOOD STILL HAS POWER OVER YOU

Breaking the Cycle of Emotional

A free video course for women who are done managing emotional eating — and ready to resolve it.

You've tried everything.

Therapy. Intuitive eating. Self-compassion practices. Nervous system work. You've done the inner child healing, learned your triggers, and understand why you emotionally eat.

And yet, food still wins.

You can go weeks feeling in control, and then something shifts. Stress at work, a hard conversation, even just boredom. Suddenly you're back in the kitchen, hand in the pantry, mind somewhere else entirely.

Emotional eating isn't just a coping mechanism. It's a nervous system response, an identity issue, a power dynamic that was established long before you understood what was happening.

Until you address that deeper layer, you'll keep cycling through the same pattern: awareness, effort, control, slip, shame, repeat.

This course breaks that cycle by helping you understand why food still has power over you and what it takes to reclaim it.

That's where

THE REAL REASON FOOD STILL HAS POWER OVER YOU comes in.

What's inside: 8 Video Lessons

1. Compassion- The Foundation Why self-compassion alone doesn't stop emotional eating and what needs to happen alongside it for real change to occur.

2. Curiosity (Understanding Your Patterns)
You'll develop a different relationship with emotional eating, one rooted in curiosity rather than criticism, so you can see what it's been doing for you all these years.

3. Proactivity (Taking Your Power Back)
What proactive actually means in this context and how to set yourself up for success without relying on willpower.

4. Self-Care (Deeper Than Bubble Baths)
How to regulate your own nervous system so food doesn't have to do it for you, using practices that actually work.

5. Awareness (The Shift That Changes Everything)
How to use moments of awareness, even when you do emotionally eat, as data rather than failure.

6. Letting Go of Shame (The Weight You've Been Carrying)
How to release shame by understanding what it's actually protecting you from, not through affirmations or positive thinking.

7.Getting Support (Why You Can't Do This Alone)
What kind of support actually works and why most women wait too long to ask for it.

8: Integration (Making It Sustainable)
How to integrate these shifts into your daily life so they become automatic, not something you have to remember to do.
This is not another tactical framework. This is the clarity, depth, and precision you've been missing

What shifts when you resolve emotional eating:

You stop using food to regulate your nervous system because you've learned how to regulate yourself.

You stop thinking about food all day because it no longer has emotional charge.

You reclaim the mental and emotional space you've been giving to food for years.

This is what sovereignty feels like.

You're no longer managing emotional eating. You've resolved it. And from that place, everything else becomes possible.

After completing the course:

You'll be invited to apply for a Private Food and Body Alignment Consult, a one-on-one session to assess whether deeper work together is the right fit.

This consult is for women who are ready to do identity-level work, not just learn new tactics.

For years, I struggled with emotional eating. I tried everything, understood my triggers, knew exactly why I reached for food. And yet, I couldn't stop.

Everything changed when I discovered the deeper spiritual work most programs never touch.

Not another coping strategy or mindfulness practice, but the compassion-based healing that actually resolves the pattern.

Now I help women do the same work. I'm the author of BE-Friend Yourself, creator of Love Your Body Love Yourself, a TEDx speaker, and president of the board at Ai Pono, an eating disorder recovery center.

I work privately with a small number of clients at a time, and this course is where we begin.
