I reverse the process from last episode and begin from my hammock.

Podcast Recap

I wrestle with the unexpected death of my uncle as I journey from the comfort of my hammock back up the mountain to ponder, ‘What if today were the last day of my life’?

Resource of the day

The Grief Monster a touching and thought-provoking blog post by author, Shannon Cutts where she quotes Dr. Daniel Siegel’s The Mindful Brain. In his chapter on “Stress and Suffering”, Siegel writes, “When the mind grasps onto preconceived ideas it creates a tension within the mind between what is and what “should be”. This tension creates stress and leads to suffering.”

Water tastes so great at the top of a hiking trail!

Podcast Recap

When my awesome plan to record during a hike, Zen-like, from the mountain-top, derails due to technical difficulties, I climb down the mountain and into the comfort of my hammock back home where I muse about exercise bulimia, the nature of binges and how to come back from one.

Heavy topic today, but I’m truly enjoying this “stop and smell the roses moment”.

Podcast Recap

Today’s walk is all about truths we hide from ourselves. What’s under the drive to fill our guts with food? I take a hard look at my people pleasing and the resulting rage, my relationships and why I may have kept on re-gaining weight.

Here I am with crazy hair all akimbo trying to decide the future of my podcast.

Podcast Recap

Powerful episode today. I dive deep into two key triggers for my food compulsion, indecision and low self-worth. I struggle with a key decision about the future of my podcasts and ruminate over past episodes and whether I can drum up the balls to release them. Finally I bring forth a new podcast hotline dedicated to Compulsive Overeating Diary, 206-350-6445

Despite my smile, I’m feeling like an idiot walking around a park speaking out loud to myself. Hope you guys are out there!

Podcast Recap

Yay for us pathetic folk! Pathetic is the new cool. Pathetic or not, here I come! At least that’s what I tell myself as I struggle with my feelings while I huff and puff around the local park. Most hellishly embarrassing episode to release ever. I’m proud of myself though, because I didn’t weasel out and stop myself from showing how I truly felt, which was sad, needy, pathetic and out of breath. I’m also thankful for my friend Cheryl and our Skype conversation. Reaching out is always good when you are feeling pathetic or are otherwise in a bad place. Take that pathetic! And as long as I’m being pathetic, anyway, just go ahead and comment, would ja?
