Twenty years ago, while struggling with overeating, emotional eating, and constant sugar cravings, I decided to attend a meeting with Overeaters Anonymous because I was desperate to find freedom.

But during one of those meetings, something happened that I’ve never forgotten.
While sharing about what I was experiencing, I mentioned God, and th...
90 Days of Silence Is Not the Answer
If you’ve ever struggled with food addiction, emotional eating, or eating “off plan,” you know how quickly shame can creep in. And often, that shame makes people want to hide.
In this episode of Living Life Unbinged, we explore a rule used in some food addiction recovery groups where members who slip with food are not allowed to speak in meetings for 90 days. While the intention behind the rule is accountability and structure, it raises an important question: Is silence really what someone needs most when they’re already struggling?

For so many women, food addiction feels automatic. Reaching for sugar when stress hits. Eating without thinking. Falling back into patterns that feel impossible to stop. But these habits aren’t character flaws; they’re neural pathways that have been strengthened over tim...

In this episode of Living Life Unbinged, we’re talking about food noise, the constant mental chatter about eating, restricting, starting over, craving, and negotiating with yourself all day long. It’s exhausting, overwhelming, and for so many of us, it quietly runs our lives.
