![]() I’ve lost weight, and my anxiety is now controlled without drugs, through meditation and other tools I’ve learned from HFH. I got out of a relationship that was making me feel inauthentic and codependent. I’ve let go of the fear that people won’t love me for who I really am. Since working with Hungry for Happiness, I’ve made progress in so many areas of my life. This fear caused so much anxiety around every part of my life, from my relationships to my career, and the easiest solution was always numbing in one way or another. The days where I was the most out of alignment from my true self, were the days that I suffered the most with emotional eating. I bounced from diet to diet, constantly restricting all day and then binging before bed. ![]() I lived completely in my head and always tried to ignore and avoid how I felt in my body. “When I first started working with Hungry for Happiness, I had no clue whether or not I was physically or emotionally hungry. Or I’m running around making videos in unicorn onesies… and occasionally playing on the slip and slide! When I’m not challenging the weight loss industry or helping women take their lives back from it… well, I already told you! I’m eating tacos. Hungry for Happiness also supports the rescue and healing of human trafficking survivors in Cambodia and North America. I’ve been honored to share this mission on an international platform, with appearances on Global TV, Shaw, NBC, and, CBC and in my best-selling book, Hungry for Happiness: How to Stop Emotional Eating & Start Loving Yourself. ![]() We want to get rid of “diet culture” or the “weight loss industry” by providing solutions that empower women (instead of making them feel bad about who they are and what they look like.) HFH as we refer to it, is a movement that provides accessible recovery resources to women suffering in silence. I’m on a mission to empower every woman who wants freedom to overcome her struggle with food and body so she can live a happy, authentic, and fulfilling life. I’m also an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and an emotional eating, disordered eating, and body image issue expert. 10 years ago I would not have been able to say this out loud to you! Luckily, one day I had a very powerful breakthrough that I’ve been sharing with women all around the world ever since… The most embarrassing part is that I was a personal trainer at the time, with a ton of knowledge about food, body and health… but no amount of knowledge in my head could fix me. I sacrificed the most important things in my life, like time with friends and family, a deeply satisfying career, even my health… all to chase this ideal weight and body that I thought was “the thing” that was missing for me. I spent 80% of my time obsessing on food and if I ate 100 or 200 calories “over” my self-imposed limit, I would do jumping jacks for hours. It’s hard for me to imagine now, but it was only 7 years ago when I was still in my “diet depression days,” where I went on over 50 diets in just 4 years. If you relate to ANY of this, I’m so glad you’re here. HEY LOVE, Do you spend a great deal of your time counting calories, macros, over exercising, emotionally eating, or going on another diet? Has this time consuming way of living had a negative impact on your relationships with the people you care about the most… including yourself? Would you love to trust yourself again, feel comfortable in your body, and clear up your head space, so there’s peace and freedom to think about things other than food? I know exactly what it feels like to say yes to ALL of the above.
