From the shame surrounding both food struggles and pelvic health issues to the interconnected roots of these challenges, this episode reveals why addressing both physical and emotional health together is the key to true healing. What You'll Learn How emotional eating and pelvic health issues share surprising common roots in shame and unworthinessWhy hormonal changes during perimenopause require completely new approaches to health and healingThe connection between people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and both food and pelvic health strugglesHow physical pain can drive emotional eating patterns and vice versaWhy creating safe spaces for women to discuss these "taboo" topics is essential for healingWhat the Body Brilliance Workshop offers for women struggling with these interconnected issues Episode Highlights Breaking the Shame Cycle Around Women's Health Amber and Kristen explore how shame surrounding both emotional eating and pelvic health issues keeps women isolated and prevents them from seeking help. They emphasize that these struggles are far more common than women realize and that breaking the silence is the first step toward healing. The Mind-Body Connection: When Physical and Emotional Health Collide The hosts reveal fascinating connections between mental and physical health. When women experience pelvic pain, they often reduce activity and seek comfort in food. Similarly, hormonal fluctuations can trigger both emotional eating and pelvic floor dysfunction, showing why comprehensive approaches work better than treating symptoms in isolation. Why Perimenopause Changes Everything Amber explains how perimenopause represents a fundamental shift requiring completely new strategies. The restrictive diets and exercise routines that worked before suddenly become ineffective, demanding a more holistic approach that addresses hormonal changes, emotional patterns, and physical symptoms together. Introducing Body Brilliance: Where Pelvic Health Meets Emotional Wellness Kristen and Amber unveil their collaborative workshop that fills gaps in traditional healthcare. Body Brilliance connects the dots between cravings, hormones, emotional health, and pelvic function, providing women with comprehensive support in a safe, judgment-free environment.
