Have you ever believed that once you finally lose the weight, everything will feel better? For many emotional eaters, weight loss brings excitement, compliments, and a sense of relief at first—but that feeling often fades. In this episode, Tricia explores what really happens after the weight comes off and why quick fixes rarely solve the deeper struggle with food. She shares how emotional eating, identity, and unprocessed feelings can resurface even in a thinner body—and why true healing begins when we address what's underneath.

In this episode, I talk about the powerful lies our brains tell us about food, weight, and willpower. For years I believed these same stories, and they kept me stuck in the cycle of binge eating and shame. I walk through the most common beliefs that keep women trapped in emotional eating and share why healing isn't about more discipline or the perfect diet. When we start telling ourselves the truth and address the deeper reasons behind our eating, real freedom becomes possible.

So many women silently carry deep shame when they can't stick to a diet or feel out of control around certain foods. In this episode, I talk about why that struggle isn't a failure of willpower. Diets often miss the real reason we turn to food in the first place. I share how emotional eating is driven by deeper needs and feelings, and why healing those root causes is the key to finally finding peace with food.

Is there wisdom in the new food pyramid? In this episode, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) founder, Reed Davis, does a deep-dive into the hits and misses of the recent, massive shifts in government dietary recommendations. He also shares why you may still want to"test, not guess" in order to find what your unique body actually needs to thrive. If you want to optimize your health, instead of manage symptoms, you'll love this candid talk with Reed.

Are you stuck in your story — and is it keeping you stuck with food? In this powerful episode, Tricia explores the difference between processing your pain and living inside it. If you've ever felt defined by your trauma, medical struggles, or family rejection — and found yourself turning to food for comfort — this conversation will gently challenge and empower you. Learn how staying identified with your story keeps your nervous system in survival mode, why emotional eating thrives in powerlessness, and how to shift from victimhood to stewardship so you can finally move forward.

In this episode of Confessions of a Binge Eater, I share what I've learned from five deeply meaningful years with the love of my life. From agreeing to disagree to letting go of the need to change another person, these lessons have supported not only our relationship, but my recovery as an emotional eater. My hope is that what's working for us might help you create more peace, safety, and kindness in your relationships too.

In this episode of Confessions of a Binge Eater, I interviewed Donna Piper, whose story stopped me in my tracks. Donna shares her long, painful journey through invisible illness, medical gaslighting, and unexplained weight gain that had nothing to do with willpower or food choices. We talk honestly about what happens when your body feels like it's betraying you—and how healing sometimes begins with being believed, listening deeply, and learning to make peace with the body you're in.

In this episode of Confessions of a Binge Eater, we explore the deep connection between betrayal, emotional pain, and our relationship with food. Tricia sits down with Dr. Debi Silber, a leading voice in betrayal recovery, to talk about how unhealed betrayal can keep us stuck for years—and how true healing is not only possible, but predictable. If you've ever used food to numb heartbreak, loss, or broken trust, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and real hope for lasting transformation.
