In the quiet moments between cravings, have you ever wondered why certain foods call to you like a siren song?
Cravings are the spider's web of our modern lives – sticky, intricate, and often invisible until we're caught. Woven from threads of childhood experiences and societal expectations, they can seem impossible to escape.
This 21-Day program is your loom, helping you spin a new pattern of nourishment, freedom, and self-love.
Let me guess... You frequently have one of more of these thoughts:
- "I can't stop thinking about food."
- "Why can't I control my eating like everyone else?"
- "I'm ashamed of my body and eating habits."
- "I know I'm an emotional eater, but I don't know how to stop."
- "I've tried every diet, but nothing works long-term."
- "I feel like my childhood is still affecting me, but I don't know how to heal."
- "I want to enjoy food without guilt or anxiety."
- "I'm tired of feeling controlled by my cravings."
If this sounds like you, it's a sure sign that you can benefit from this 21-Day Journey to Food Freedom!

Did you know that childhood experiences shape our relationship with food far into adulthood? 🤔
It's so common in our culture to just skip over this fact, but the truth is that over time, unresolved food trauma can create emotional eating patterns, feelings of shame, and a disconnection from our body's true needs.
These patterns can make us feel out of control around food, anxious about eating, and disconnected from the joy of nourishing ourselves.
Persistent cravings, binge eating, addictive behaviors, or other eating disorders often stem from childhood experiences (good or bad!)
If you were taught that food is a reward as a child, you'll be inclined to use food to reward yourself as an adult.
If you were taught to eat everything on your plate, even if you were already full, you may continue doing that as an adult without noticing it.
If you experienced hunger due to low income, had parents who worked too much or were too busy to make you meals, or if you had a parent or caretaker that controlled or manipulated you with food, these things can follow us into adulthood.
Chidhood trauma around food can often look like:
- Disordered Eating Patterns
- Binge eating, emotional eating, or restrictive eating
- Feeling out of control around food
- Yo-yo dieting history
- Emotional Challenges
- Unresolved childhood trauma, particularly related to food
- Low self-esteem and negative body image
- Feelings of shame and guilt around eating
- Physical Health Concerns
- Weight issues (often overweight, but could be any weight)
- Digestive problems
- Low energy and mood swings
- Relationship Issues
- Difficulty setting boundaries
- People-pleasing tendencies
- Struggles with intimacy or vulnerability
Most people completely bypass and brush off all of these things because it's so common in our society to experience them. But, when you really take the time to address and heal your trauma and relationship to food, you can finally free yourself from the hold they have over you and experience true freedom!
In this 21-Day Journey, you'll receive:
- A safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable sharing your struggles

The cravings and urges of insatiable hunger often root themselves in the fertile soil of childhood, growing stronger with each passing year. But you have the power to replant this garden.
This 21-Day Journey to Food Freedom will nourish your inner child with a customized plan, an experienced guide, and a solid support system to help you go from feeling helpless against cravings to true food freedom! 💪
Let me tell you a little about me, and why I decided to start this 21-Day Journey to Food Freedom!
This was me in 2020.
Even though I may have looked fine on the outside, on the inside I was not well. As a mother, wife, and healer, I was taking care of everyone else around me but ME. I was mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. I was overweight and the heaviest I'd ever been since giving birth to my twins.
At age 36, I got winded going up flights of stairs and had chronic back pain. I was in an unhealthy marriage, I sucked at setting boundaries, I was emotionally overeating, living a sedentary lifestyle, and regularly eating fast foods.
Athough I tried to maintain appearances on the outside, on the inside I felt like my life was falling apart. I felt frustrated and helpless. I hated my body and often cried when I looked in the mirror. I'd tried a variety of failed workouts, fad dieting hadn't worked, and I was secretly depressed and on the verge of a mental breakdown. 😓
When I went to Thailand, something inside of me shifted.
I had the opportunity to go to Thailand two years in a row to learn Thai Massage. The first time I went, felt like I had cracked a tiny part of the shell of my protective egg. The second time, I felt like the whole shell cracked open. My heart was open, and realized that something in me had changed. When I got back to the states, everything in my life was the same, but I was different. I knew that I needed to match my outside to my inside. A friend recommended I do a detox cleanse.
But I didn't know the first thing about detoxing or eating healthy. I grew up eating TV dinners, boxed hamburger helper, southern friend chicken, and canned green beans. I'd lived off Taco Bell, Burger King, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and all the typical American fast food places for most of my life.
As a child I deeply craved love and attention. My mother, having left my father to avoid his abuse and alcoholism, worked two or three jobs to make ends meet. I was often left alone to my own devices.
Being hungry was normal for me. At an early age, I learned to sneak food. I would sneak cookies from the cookie jar at my babysitters house. I would sneak candy from the dishes and anywhere else I could find it. I had little crinkly wrappers hidden in all the nooks and crannies of my room. I even stowed spoonfuls of peanut butter under my pillow. I was always hungry.
When I got older, I hated cooking, I hated "healthy" food, and even though I still occasionally ate my greens and salads, my taste buds were adapted to foods that made me feel good, like cookies, sweets, fatty foods, salty foods, and anything that was bad for me.
I espcially craved sweets. I loved chocolate and all the sugary goodies. But, finally came to realize that this stems from my childhood. From the need to feel pleasure. To taste sweetness. To enjoy, if only for a few moments, something that brings happiness. To me, food was comforting.
And besides, I was a busy mom with two teenagers and working two jobs. I thought I didn't have time to be healthy, work out, or eat right.
But, then I realized, that's the type of thinking that led me to my breaking point. 😖
I'll share a little secret with you:
Sometimes when we're on the verge of a breakdown, we're actually on the verge of our greatest healing!
One day I woke up and decided that I was done with living this way. I just couldn't take it anymore. I was tired of hating my body, tired of being in pain, and tired of the destructive loop I was in. I realized that I wasn't helpless. I had choices.
I knew I needed to do something different. I decided that I was going to get HEALTHY in body, mind, and spirit.
I decided to make a commitment to MYSELF because I always put everyone else first.
My old story was that I never had time for myself, working out, or making healthy meals.
So, I decided that I needed to write a new story. One where I was worthy of making time for my healing.
I began researching gut healing and detoxing, and spoke to other friends who had used cleansing as a way to reset their gut and take charge of their health.
I began to make the links between my bad eating habits and my childhood tauma surrounding food.
I knew that I needed to detox my life and heal my inner child, or I'd NEVER get better, so I started making small, achievable goals that focused on nurturing and supporting myself.
Then I started taking action and baby steps toward my goals. Over time, I gradually reduced the toxic load in my body, mind, and soul, and my inner child began to feel happy again. 🥰
Investing in my health was the best decision I ever made.
Over the course of a year, I dropped 50 pounds (30 of which came off in the first 6 months!) I realized that what I needed was not just the removal of unhealthy foods, but unhealthy people, habits, and beliefs from my life. Losing weight wasn't the goal- getting healthy was. Losing the physical weight was just a bonus side effect!
My business, relationships, boundary setting abilities, confidence, and mental health all improved, and my entire life got SO much better!
After doing making my health a priority and changing my relationship to food, I felt stronger, healthier, and happier. Many people almost didn't recogize me, and kept asking me what I'd done to make the change. They wanted to know what secrets and tips I had.
That's when I knew that if I could do it, I could help others do it too! 😍

What will I be eating and drinking?
Can I eat regular foods?
What if I have to leave town, go on vacation, or there’s a special celebration to attend?
Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will.
If you're still a little scared about taking this journey, I want you to know that it's ok to be afraid.
Change can be scary.
All the doubts, fears, and limiting beliefs you hold will tell you that you're not capable, or not worthy, or not strong enough to do it. They want you to stay stuck, because at least then, you'll be comfortable.
But allowing our fears to keep us stuck in unhealthy habits and patterns is a sign that we need to gain the COURAGE to do something different! Whatever your reason for joining this program, I am here to support you.
You owe it to yourself to invest in your happiness, your health and well-being.
Let's Do This! I'm in!
