What is shame?Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines shame as:Shame is the intensely painful feeling or experience of believing that we are flawed and therefore unworthy of love, belonging, and connection. It thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment. If you put shame into a petri dish and douse it with these three things, it will grow exponentially into every corner and crevice of our lives. In this episode, Lori Weber joins us to share her struggle and her journey in overcoming an eating disorder. Having spent the majority of her adult life in a disordered relationship with food, Lori describes her experience before as less about the food and more about the power food had over her and the way she obsessively behaved around it. In addition, she pointed out that keeping this secret behavior away from others for decades made it all worse since it contributed to the growing vicious cycle of self-fulfilling judgments. She successfully released herself from the spiral of shame when she realized that the behavior was separate from what she really is. Lori is now on a mission to help others avoid the eating chaos she experienced. Her Mindful Eating Clinic, based in the UK, provides coaching and online courses to clients worldwide. She can treat binge-eating, bulimia, yo-yo-dieting, and obesity and is known for her blend of empathy and pragmatism, helping clients find a happy life with food. What You Will Learn From This Episode03:11 - What Lori Weber is obsessed with 05:09 - Battling with an eating disorder for decades09:34 - Having a private relationship with food14:47 - Breaking the shame15:55 - The food addiction cycle22:19 - How the yo-yo dieting craze normalizes and hides eating disorders24:10 - Fixing oneself and finding new freedom around food 25:09 - Think, eat, and liveResources MentionedBrené Brown’s 30 core emotions:   https://brenebrown.com/resources/list-of-core-emotions/Atlas of the HeartHelp & Support | National Eating Disorders AssociationANAD | Free Eating Disorder Support Groups & ServicesLearn More About Lori WeberWebsite: https://www.themindfuleatingclinic.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_mindful_eating_clinic/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lori62WeberPinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/TheMindfulEatingClinic/_created/Lori’s The Mindful Eating Clinic Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/lt/podcast/the-mindful-eating-clinic/id1547991373?uo=4 See What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree -  https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls
