Show Notes

Shame is one of those really hard emotions. 

We do a lot to avoid it, because it’s not just “I did a bad thing,” it’s “I AM a bad person.” 

We can feel shame about our bodies, regaining weight, binge eating, overeating, marriage struggles, past trauma, abuse, divorce, overspending, debt, sex… 

The list is endless. 

The problem is that we typically want to hide from shame → it creates so much emotional pain, we can’t bear the sight of it. 

So we stuff it down, we avoid it, resist it, fight it. 

But when we can’t look at what it is that brings the shame, we can’t evaluate it, which also means we can’t learn from it. 

And when you can’t learn from it, you can’t change it, and you can’t create new results. 

So now what in the flaming hell are we to do now?!  

Join me on today’s episode where we explore this topic deeper, how to truly allow and process this emotion, and ultimately forgive yourself, so that you can move forward in a healthy way. 

No more baggage, no more fear, no more shame. 

 

And when you’re ready to stop running from your emotional eating and binge eating habit, I’ll show you how to decode and interrupt the patterns, so that you can truly learn from your mistakes and start creating new results. 

I’ve created an all new monthly membership to help you do just that: The Body You Crave Accelerator.  

The best place to get started is with a free Break the Cycle Call https://www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc 

I'll help you uncover the cycles sabotaging your weight, relationships, and self worth, so that you can interrupt the patterns and finally create the LIFE and BODY you crave.
