ABOUT THE EPISODE

Join me for a raw and real conversation where I open up about the challenges of being a new mom and how it’s stirring up memories of my past struggles with binge eating. In this podcast, I’ll share the highs, lows, and messy in-betweens as I navigate this new phase of my life.

This episode is not just about the struggle – I’ll also dive into the strategies and mindset shifts I’m employing to stay on track and prevent myself from slipping back into old habits. Buckle up for some honesty, vulnerability, and hopefully some relatibility. 

Disclaimer: This podcast is my personal rollercoaster ride through new motherhood, complete with all the messy emotions and reflections on how it’s been for me. If you’re pregnant with your first baby, maybe hold off on tuning in – I don’t want to send you into a panic, because this might not be your experience at all!

RYANN QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE

“It feels like I have been so alone in this struggle. And it reminds me of when I was struggling with binge eating, and it felt like I was the only one who felt this way around food.”

“I am a better mom, wife, therapist, friend, human being when my needs are met. It’s okay to ask for what I need.”

“Me controlling Charlotte is about me feeling like I don’t have control over so many areas of my life right now and so I am searching for what can I control. It’s a way to manage my anxiety. I can own that.”
