77. Why Food Feels Safe: Emotional Eating, Self-Worth and the Nervous System (with Amber Romaniuk)

<p>At five years old, Amber Romaniuk got called fat and ugly on the school bus, and she carried that label for the next twenty years. This is her cycle-breaking story, and it is a brave one.</p><p>Quick heads up: we talk openly about disordered eating and food addiction, so go gently if that is triggering or activating.</p><p>Amber is an emotional eating, digestive and hormone expert who has coached women for over thirteen years. Today she takes us back into the binge eating, the restriction, and the night she hit her lowest point, pulling cookies out of the dumpster and asking herself, who am I, and how did this become my life. What I love about this one is that it goes under the behaviour: why food becomes a soother when your nervous system doesn&#39;t feel safe, why weight is so often a protective mechanism, why the inner criticism is as destructive as the eating itself, and how she broke a pattern that ran back through her mum and generations before her. We also get a frank, no-sugarcoating take on GLP-1s and the quick fixes we&#39;re being sold.</p><p><em><strong>“This is not a willpower journey, it&#39;s a self-worth journey.” Amber Romaniuk</strong></em></p><p>You&#39;re invited to:</p><p><strong>Becoming Limitless: my new group program</strong></p><p>The doors to Becoming Limitless are open,my new group program. Three months in a small group, for people who look successful on the outside but are still gripping, proving and performing on the inside. It&#39;s built around one question: who am I being, and if I was becominglimitless, what would that actually look and feel like.</p><p>If you&#39;re curious, come to a free coaching call and feel the work for yourself: <a href="https://fiona-walsh-coaching.kit.com/166e3431d9">https://fiona-walsh-coaching.kit.com/166e3431d9</a></p><p> </p><p><strong>Connectwith Amber Romaniuk</strong></p><p>Website: https://amberapproved.ca</p><p>The No Sugarcoating Podcast: https://amberapproved.ca/podcast/</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amberromaniuk">https://www.instagram.com/amberromaniuk</a></p><p><strong>Free gifts from Amber</strong></p><p>Emotional Eating Quiz:https://amberapproved.ca/emotional-eating-quiz/</p><p>Hormone Imbalance Quiz:https://amberapproved.ca/hormone-imbalance-quiz</p><p>Complimentary 30-minute Body FreedomSession: https://amberapproved.ca/body-freedom-consultation/</p><p> </p><p><strong>Work with Fiona Walsh</strong></p><p>Explore coaching, somatic recalibration, and resourc
