Listen "#127 - From binge eating to fit mom – With Megan Grimord"
Episode Synopsis
Megan Grimord grew up in a house where dieting was the norm and food was loaded with shame.By 14, she was stuck in a cycle of restriction, bingeing, and purging — a pattern that followed her into adulthood. But now she finds herself, after having her first child, in the best shape of her life.In this episode, Megan and I talk about what it takes to heal your relationship with food — especially when you’ve been taught to fear it your whole life.We unpack how calorie tracking can be a tool for freedom, not control.How bingeing isn’t always emotional (sometimes it’s just your body begging for food). And why intuitive eating alone rarely works without education and accountability.Then we go deeper into motherhood, postpartum depression, and the massive identity shift that happens when your body changes and your needs come last.Megan shares her own experience recovering from a C-section while raising a premature newborn with a sick partner and zero sleep. Her advice? Do less, better.This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by food, overwhelmed by motherhood, or trapped in a loop of “start over Monday.”We get into:Megan’s recovery from binge/restrict eatingWhy food shame keeps people stuckThe surprising benefits of macro tracking for emotional eatersWhy intuitive eating needs structure to workHow “mom culture” online glorifies burnout and martyrdomSimple postpartum recovery tips (that aren’t garbage advice)Why “less is more” is the only way forward for most womenPractical advice for mastering one habit at a timeReframing failure as experimentation — not proof you’re brokenHow life transitions can fuel growth, not stall itFind Megan on Instagram: @megan_grimord
