Recently on TikTok, someone asked me, how do I stop eating my feelings? Food is tied to all of my

emotions, whether I am sad, angry, frustrated, food is comfort. It helps me

numb out. If I am anxious and overwhelmed, food helps me find a little bit of relief from that.

If I'm exhausted and tired, food is energy. If I'm happy and excited, I want to celebrate with food,

food is linked to emotion. How do I stop eating my feelings?

We're going to dive in and we're going to talk about that today in great detail. And I'm going to

give you some things that I hope feel pretty enlightening and eye opening. It's always my goal

to demystify the healing process and help you understand that it's not rocket science

to heal binge and emotional overeating but it definitely is multifaceted and multi-layered so i want to

dive in and talk about the importance of developing the skill of skillfully feeling your emotions and why that's so important when it comes

to breaking free of the cycles of binge and emotional overeating. But before I do, I want to let you know

that I'm here in Austin, Texas for the weekend. I'm recording this podcast episode in my

friend's guest bedroom. If you hear noises in the background,

I'm not in my home office, my podcast studio. So my husband and I flew in late last night.

Our plane was delayed multiple times. We didn't get into like 1 a.m. But we came to Austin for

the weekend to spend time with our friends. And we're renting an Airbnb tonight. We have some

friends who are flying in.

We're going to do a little bit of the South by Southwest activities. South by Southwest is a

festival, art festival, music festival, tech festival, I think. I'm not sure if it's considered

a festival conference that's here in Austin every year.

So we're here to just hang out with some friends and enjoy a long weekend.

So if you hear noises in the background, that's what's going on.
