If eating has become a place of shame, rules, or trying to control everything, you're not alone, and you are in the right place.
For a long time I carried beliefs about myself that shaped how I lived, including how I ate. I didn't always notice how much they were running things.
When I began meditating more than 30 years ago, I started to see how much I was suffering through harsh, urgent thoughts. What began to change everything was letting go of shame and learning to meet myself with kindness. That same shift is possible around food and eating.
Over the past 25 years I've taught these practices to thousands of people through courses, classes, and guided audio. I've worked with people like me who struggled with shame and control around food, and others who were just beginning to notice how their thoughts shaped their eating.
You are not broken. You learned to cope the best way you could, and now you can learn something new.
I offer you a short, gentle daily practice that meets you where you are, whether food feels full of rules, you're tired of the harsh voice around eating and your body, or you're just starting to notice how your thoughts affect you.
My hope is that you come to feel more ease around food and more at home with yourself.
