   85: Spring Is Here and So Is the Diet Culture Noise: How to Binge-Proof Your Season

   Spring often means one thing for your feed. The "summer body" ads are back, the gym marketing is ramping up, and diet culture is about to get loud. In this episode, I am breaking down why restriction, not willpower, is the actual binge trigger, how to spot diet culture hiding inside "wellness" content, and what to do instead of shrinking yourself for the season ahead. In this episode: Why spring is prime season for the restrict-binge cycle, and why it happens on a schedule every single year The real reason restriction predicts a binge, explained through the Renourish pillar of the Food Freedom Method How to spot diet culture dressed up as wellness, in gym marketing, "clean eating" challenges, and your own algorithm A reframe on what actually matters this season, and why you don't have to earn your summer Three practical things to do this week instead of tightening the food rules Resources and Goodies: Everything lives here: ⁠ (https://linktr.ee/bingefreebestie)https://stan.store/bingefreebestie (https://stan.store/bingefreebestie) Why You Overeat Free Workshop: https://masterclass.bingefreebestie.com/opt-in (https://masterclass.bingefreebestie.com/opt-in) If this episode resonated: Come find me on Instagram ⁠⁠@bingefreebestie ⁠⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/bingefreebestie)and let me know.

   84: The Feminist History of Diet Culture (& Why Ozempic Won't Fix It), with Emma Wright

   In this episode, Emma Wright, a feminist health coach, shares insights on how societal power structures influence body image, dieting, and the use of medications like GLP-1s. We explore the intersection of feminism, health, and food, offering practical perspectives on reclaiming worth and navigating diet culture. In this episode: What a feminist health coach actually does, and why the word "feminist" isn't what you think The real history behind why thin became "healthy" (it's uglier than the wellness version) GLP-1s and my prediction for what happens to binge eating rates once the injections wear off Connect with Emma: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithemma/ (https://www.instagram.com/talkingwithemma/) Website: https://emmawright.co.nz/ (https://emmawright.co.nz/) Binge Free Bestie Resources and Goodies: Everything lives here: ⁠ (https://linktr.ee/bingefreebestie)https://stan.store/bingefreebestie (https://stan.store/bingefreebestie) If this episode resonated: Come find me on Instagram ⁠⁠@bingefreebestie ⁠⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/bingefreebestie)and let me know.

   83: On Fear, Reinvention, and Getting Uncomfortable On Purpose with Alaina Booth

   In this episode, Nic is joined by Alaina Booth for a conversation about courage, joy, and building a life that feels meaningful now, not after weight loss or perfection. Alaina shares her Fuck It Friday practice, the mindset shifts that helped her to become a full-time creator, and why playfulness matters just as much as discipline. We also discuss how food, body image, and control can shrink the rest of life, and how choosing fun, experimentation, and self-belief can open everything back up. If you’ve ever felt stuck waiting to “earn” the life you want, this one is for you. Key topics Alaina breaks down Fuck It Friday, a weekly 15-minute courage practice for sending the message, making the ask, or taking the shot Nic connects that courage practice to recovery work, especially the idea that life does not have to wait until the body changes We discuss why many people use food to cope with a lack of meaning, joy, or alignment in their lives Alaina shares her concept of a “courage muscle” and how repeated reps help build tolerance for discomfort and rejection We discuss growth mindset versus fixed mindset, and why experimentation makes life feel lighter and less outcome-driven Nic introduces her “life lens” idea, a pie chart of what matters most, and how body preoccupation can crowd out creativity, hobbies, and relationships Nic and Alaina reflect on the power of “why not me?” as a mindset for creative risk, recovery, and big life goals Resources and Goodies: Everything Binge Free Bestie lives here: ⁠ (https://linktr.ee/bingefreebestie)https://stan.store/bingefreebestie Connect with Alaina here: https://www.instagram.com/lainabooth/ (https://www.instagram.com/lainabooth/) Or check out her work here (https://stan.store/alainabooth?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAcGRvZgJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA85MzY2MTk3NDMzOTI0NTkAAacbhDwGUqMrPhS5-aIcvLh2wGnMzMFQkyAuGH4lxawSCnFHDZdy47mqnpmnbA_aem_UtgpJeymyBNCHk9yoWMYKg) If this episode resonated: Come find me on Instagram ⁠⁠@bingefreebestie ⁠⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/bingefreebestie)and let me know.
