Emotional Eating: What Are You REALLY Hungry For?

Learning how to eat more mindfully, and not emotionally overeat is a skill many of us need to learn. Suzanne talks to Jessica Procini, emotional eating expert, on how to use food as food, instead of a comfort substitute.   I don’t know about you, but I’m a WAY restless meditator. So this week I start the show by sharing a practical list of ways you can overcome that restlessness… and just settle down and chill out. Good idea for the start of a new year, right? Because we all need to get ourselves on the meditation cushion if we want serene minds.   To that end, I also interviewed an emotional eating expert, Jessica Procini. She’s got a fascinating take on emotional overeating and how we can heal from it—something she calls “digesting your emotions”.   Among other things, I learned What emotional eating actually is What to do when your emotions feel like a threat How to recognize if you are an emotional eater Why high powered, super successful women are prone to emotionally eat Tools other than food that she recommends for managing intensity And…. Ideal lunch breaks!   Hope you find this chat an inspiring way to start the new year.   With love,   Suzanne     RESOURCES   Save 40% on your first purchase of Magic Mind www.magicmind.co/busy   Suzanne’s new memoir, Free Spirited   Julie Yogaressa’s Yoga Nidra album on Spotify   My interview with Julie Yogaressa about Yoga Nidra   Meditation for Restless Minds blog     Salted licorice fish from Nordic Sweets   escapefromemotionaleating.com Jessica’s Website Jessica’s Freebies      OUR GUEST Jessica Procini is on a mission to help high-achieving women heal the roots of their emotional eating.
