Ep. 204: Boredom is Better Than Bingeing
Kathryn talks about why boredom can show up when you start letting go of binge eating and how the lower brain may use that feeling to make the habit seem appealing again. You’ll learn why “boredom is better than bingeing,” and how to stop using bingeing as a (harmful) solution for boredom. Since you can’t avoid all feelings of boredom, it’s crucial to know that you can be bored and still not binge; but you don’t have to stay stuck in boredom either. Kathryn shares a practical framework for finding other things to do when your lower brain says there is “nothing to do except binge.” Sign up for the newsletter and get the FREE 30-day and Join the Schedule a with Kathryn Subscribe to the for only $18.99 per month Get the Second Edition of Brain over Binge on and, , , or .

Coach Julie returns to the podcast for a conversation about building the “I can do hard things” identity.

In Part 2 of the Food Noise series, Kathryn explores how the modern food environment and intense cultural pressure around bodies and weight contributes to an overabundance of thoughts about food.

Food noise is getting a lot of attention right now, and it can be easy to assume it’s the reason binge eating happens. But this episode focuses on one essential recovery truth: binge eating is never a solution to food noise. In Part 1 of this new series, Kathryn explains how food noise and urges to binge can be related without being the same thing, why bingeing often amplifies food noise, and why you can’t wait for a quiet mind to stop binge eating. You’ll also hear why staying binge-free is the first step toward finding real solutions for food noise.

Ep. 195: The Protection Myth: Bingeing is Not Keeping You Safe
There is a widespread idea that bingeing has “protective” value for the binge eater—protection from difficult emotions, pain, stress, and other problems. I remember believing this when I was bulimic, and I know how convincing it can feel. In this episode, I talk about why the protection narrative may be holding you back in recovery, and how you can learn to see that bingeing isn’t safety—it’s dangerous and it’s hurting you. You can learn to recognize and dismiss the protection thoughts and realize you’re much safer without binge eating.

Ep. 193: Rejecting the Binge Inevitability Mindset
In this episode, I unpack the “binge inevitability mindset”—the belief that a binge is destined to happen at some point. Binge inevitability thoughts can sound like, “I know I’m eventually going to give in and binge anyway, so I might as well just get it over with.” You’ll learn why these binge inevitability thoughts show up, and how to reject them so that you can stop binge eating and prove to yourself that it is never inevitable.

Ep. 184: Productive Discomfort in Recovery (with Coach Julie)
Kathryn and Coach Julie talk about the role of productive discomfort in binge eating recovery. It’s natural to want recovery to feel easy, but the truth is that some discomfort is necessary—because that’s how the brain learns to let go of the binge eating habit. You’ll learn why feeling challenged isn’t a sign that you’re doing something wrong; it’s a sign that you’re making meaningful progress toward real, lasting change.

Ep. 178: The Easy Path (with Coach Julie)
Kathryn and coach Julie help you reframe how you think about recovery. You’ll learn to challenge the belief that stopping binge eating is a hard road and see that ending this destructive habit is actually the easy path. Ease never comes from giving in to urges to binge, or trying to control weight through restriction, but from nourishing your body, accepting your natural weight, and letting go of the binge-restrict cycle. Even if there are some challenging and uncomfortable moments in recovery, it’s never as hard as bingeing.
