Ep 553: Binging in Reaction to Charlie Kirk News

Hi friends! In this episode, I talk about how breaking news—like the recent headlines around Charlie Kirk—can rattle us in ways we don’t expect. I open up about the pull to numb out when emotions feel overwhelming, and what it really takes to face those moments without turning to food.

  • Tricia opens up about her own struggles with binge eating and the deep shame she carried for years.
  • You’ll hear how painful news—whether in the world or in your own home—can so easily push you toward food.
  • Tricia share honestly about the secrecy and humiliation that come with binging thousands of calories at a time.
  • You’ll hear the story of walking through deep grief without using food as a crutch, and what made that possible.
  • We talk about the powerful difference between stuffing down feelings and finding healthier ways to process them.
  • You’ll be reminded that trying to do this on your own is nearly impossible—support is what makes lasting change possible.
  • Most of all, this episode is here to reassure you that you’re not alone, and freedom from emotional eating is within reach.
