    89. How Perfectionism is Holding You Back in Midlife and How to Break Free with Laura Heflin
    Jan 13 2025
    Welcome to Episode 89 of the Emotional Eats Podcast! This week, Kim welcomes back Laura Heflin, a Christian wife, mom, holistic nutritionist, podcaster, and three-time published author. Laura shares her mission to inspire others and create change in our health-challenged culture by embracing balance, authenticity, and self-love. Together, Kim and Laura discuss the impact of perfectionism on midlife women and the power of consistency in building a life rooted in peace and sustainability. Laura introduces her personal journey of breaking free from the exhausting pursuit of perfection and shares her transformative “Power of 10” approach—starting with just 10 minutes of movement, self-care, or preparation to create momentum and lasting habits. Faith and rest are central themes throughout the conversation, as Laura and Kim highlight the importance of setting boundaries, taking inventory of commitments, and tuning into one’s unique needs. Laura emphasizes the value of opera ting from a place of self-love rather than self-criticism, reminding listeners that true health and happiness come from aligning with one’s values and embracing imperfection. Key Highlights and Takeaways: Break Free from Perfectionism: Striving for perfection can leave us stuck. Embracing imperfection allows for grace, rest, and consistency. Momentum Over Motivation: Action, no matter how small, leads to momentum and eventually motivation. Rest and Rejuvenation: Rest isn’t optional—it’s a necessity. Take time to recharge and listen to your body. Sustainable Habits: Ask, “Can I do this for the rest of my life?” to ensure goals are achievable and realistic. Self-Love is Essential: Approach health and fitness from a place of love, not criticism or punishment.

  • 87. Reignite Your Joy: Ditching Resolutions, Diets and Emotional Eating in the New Year

    87. Reignite Your Joy: Ditching Resolutions, Diets and Emotional Eating in the New Year
    Dec 30 2024

    How many resolutions have you kept over the years? How does it make you feel when you don’t follow through?

    Welcome to Episode 87 of the Emotional Eats Podcast!

    In this episode, I hope to reshape how you look at new beginnings…any time of the year.

    As we approach the new year—or any time you’re ready for a fresh start, I wish to help you to shift your focus from restrictive resolutions to a more empowering approach.

    Resolutions set you up for failure especially around diet and exercise. Take a new look at the new year and consider reigniting your inner joy and addressing the root causes of emotional eating.

    In this episode, I unpack the emotional and mental triggers that drive overeating and give you practical strategies to create meaningful, lasting change.

    Instead of focusing on weight loss or rigid diet plans, I want to help you build a healthier relationship with yourself, your values and where you put your energy.

    I share how perfectionism, lack of boundaries, and disconnection from your values can fuel emotional eating and teach you to break free. From setting loving boundaries to finding joyful movement and rediscovering hobbies, this episode is packed with tools to help you feel aligned, empowered, and at peace with food and your body.

    Highlights.

    • Why weight loss isn’t the goal but a byproduct of addressing emotional needs.
    • How perfectionism and lack of boundaries fuel emotional eating—and how to break the cycle.
    • Practical ways to reconnect with your values, rediscover joyful habits, and embrace authentic living.
    • The power of small shifts over big resolutions and why self-compassion is key to lasting change.

    Wishing you peace and joy in the new year!

    XOXO,

    Kim
