170. You Thought You Were Healed… So Why Are You Struggling Again?
02/07/25 • 29 min
In today's episode, I am answering the question: Hi Ryann, Through the help of your videos, my therapist, my nutritionist, and my own commitment to healing, I recovered from binge eating throughout 2023-2024 - or so I thought. Lately I have been having “mini” binges, often when I’m particularly tired, stressed, o otherwise triggered. I tend to stop these mini binges in their tracks before they become full-blown binges, but it has me wondering: Why has the urge to binge resurfaced, and why am I finding myself starting to obsess about what I’m eating again? I thought I already “did the work.” Thanks for all you do! Your videos have made me feel so seen and find the strength to commit to healing my relationship with food.

171. “If You’re Struggling to Manage Everything, You Have Too Much to Manage” (We need to talk about Kylie Perkins.)
After getting hit with a brutal sickness, I'm back—and with a fresh perspective on health, rest, and how we take care of ourselves. Today, I'm diving into the viral sensation that is Kylie Perkins, her no-BS approach to decluttering, and why her message is actually deeper than just cleaning your house. Let's talk about how excess can be overwhelming, why just starting is the key to getting unstuck, and how small shifts in our space can lead to big shifts in our mindset.
