  • How To Eat Like A "Normal Person"
    May 16 2025

    "I want to eat like a normal person". That's what people tell us over the phone, on Zoom, via email, or written into our new client assessment.

    In today's episode, we want to explore with you what it means to be a 'normal eater,' and highlight that normal eating encompasses a range of behaviors rather than a specific definition.

    We delve into how comparisons and societal expectations can skew perceptions of normal eating and introduce the concept of 'confident, sensible eating,' which focuses on healthy, balanced, and stress-free approaches to food.

    Join us as we offer you insights into how people can transition towards a more confident and sensible eating style, emphasizing the importance of mental well-being, variety in diet, and enjoying food without guilt or obsession.

    00:39 Defining Normal Eating

    01:24 Common Observations About Eating Habits

    03:24 The Impact of Social Comparisons

    05:51 The Reality of Normal Eating

    09:53 Characteristics of Confident, Sensible Eaters

    15:07 Conclusion and Encouragement

  • When Food Isn't The Fix: Emotion Regulation Skills (Part 3)
    Apr 25 2025

    Have you noticed a pattern in your life where you use food to solve all the things? Whether you are cold, tired, behind schedule or intimidated or unsure or angry, does your brain say "should we eat something?" Even if you aren't hungry at all?

    This is exactly how emotional eating makes us act: We find ourselves using the same action (eating) to respond to any kind of feeling rather than stopping to discern what's actually happening and choosing a response from the many available options.

    Well, my friend, you are not alone! Emotional eating is fairly common and "just trying to stop" is rarely successful.

    Join Georgie and Christina in today's episode, which is the third and final installment of our Emotion Regulation series as we cover some of the more advanced skills that we teach our clients to help them leave behind emotional eating and binge eating.

  • The Incredible Relief of Changing Your Story
    Mar 28 2025

    We all have tapes that play in our heads or narratives in the background of our lives. The stories we tell ourselves cast us into roles and you can be certain that they impact how you feel, the choices you make day to day, and how you eat.

    If you are a creative person, a writer, a poet, or artist, you probably have a really developed skill for weaving dramatic stories. You see imagery and emotion everywhere. On the other hand, if you are a person who's highly factual and logical, you may be less prone to emotional storytelling, but you still aren't immune.

    Join Georgie as she explains how positive it can be to shift just one of our habitual stories. Unlike most of the behavior change and skill building we talk about on this show- which takes time and rehearsal- recognizing and changing those internal narratives is something that can quickly help you get unstuck (practically immediately).

I was sceptical about another self help proclaimer however, this one is different. Georgie Fear interviews real people with everyday issues & past experiences. I was and am inspired knowing I’m not alone in how I feel about binge eating.
How do you tackle an addiction when you still have to eat? Georgie gives practical (sometimes obvious suggestions) that can make a difference.
I’m on episode 70 and I’m enjoying every moment. AND…. Starting to feel confident in tackling my own patterns.
For a free listen this is definitely worth some attention.

An openly refreshing honest listen.
