E28: Stressless Eating with Leanne Ellington

Our guest today is Leanne Ellington is a leading expert in women's emotional health and disordered eating. She is also an International speaker, CEO and Founder of the Stressless Eating Education System, author of the book Stressless Eating, and host of the Stressless Eating Podcast. Her life's work is dedicated to helping women take the stress, emotion, and obsession out of food and get off the diet roller coaster for good. In this episode Leanne shares about her own personal journey of being overweight most of her life and that when she lost nearly 100 pounds in adulthood, it actually increased her emotional distress. So it wasn’t until she healed her disordered eating and her self-image and body-image struggles that she truly found freedom. And that is what drives Leanne to help other women break out of their own food and body prisons. I also want to mention that Leanne specifically works with women, so it is women that we discuss in this episode. However, I want to acknowledge the thousands and thousands of men and other gendered people also struggle with their own body-image issues, body dysmorphia, eating disorders and disordered eating and it’s important for them to also get the help that they need.

E27: Hypnotherapy with Nicole Perez

Our guest today is someone I have recently been working with, so I am excited to share about their work! Nicole Perez is a certified, clinical transpersonal hypnotherapist. At only 11 years old, she read her first book on hypnotherapy and it has stuck with her ever since. In this episode Nicole shares with us about her own personal story of healing, as well as what exactly hypnotherapy is and how it creates transformation on a subconscious level. She also discusses how our subconscious programming is the blue print for our lives and how these blue prints impact our choices which affect us emotionally, physically and spiritually. She hopes to educate people on how powerful the mind is and that changing the thoughts and belief about oneself can lead to not only healing but real change.
