Drawing from deeply personal experiences, Jane shares her journey, her struggles, and ultimately her triumph, giving us all hope that we can do the same. She speaks candidly about the guilt and secrecy that shrouded her early encounters with binge eating and how understanding her nervous system played a pivotal role in her victory.

We explore the undercurrents of binge eating, seeing it not merely as a disorder, but as a symptom of disconnection from our experiences. Jane exposes how diet culture conditions us to ignore our body\'s signals, leading to a profound disconnection from our own selves.\\xa0

We venture into the realm of perfectionism, discussing how our relentless chase for an \'ideal body\' can trigger unhealthy eating habits and constant nervous system activation. Listen as Jane enlightens us on the power of internal dialogue, transforming it from a relentless critic to an ally in our journey towards healthier eating.

Join us as we navigate the intricate network of our nervous system, understanding its three states - fight/flight, freeze, and home base, and their role in binge eating. Jane shares her realization that her binges were essentially her body\'s desperate plea for pause, forcing her to slow down and break free from the onslaught of stress and perfectionism.\\xa0

We dive into the potential of shifting our mindset, understanding that shame and judgment can exacerbate unhealthy eating habits. Jane leaves us with resources for those seeking help, emphasizing the importance of understanding our internal dialogue and how our nervous system influences our behavior. Together, let\'s redefine our relationship with food and reclaim the joy of eating!
