The Shocking Results of Healing the Subconscious
Sitting down with Angela Mascuilli of the Good Enough Podcast, we dismantle one of the most damaging myths in wellness and weight loss: that cravings are a willpower problem. They’re not. Cravings are a stress response — a signal from a nervous system that’s overwhelmed, overextended, or trying to self-soothe. If discipline could have fixed this, it already would have. Food isn’t the issue; it’s the symptom of something deeper happening beneath conscious awareness. You can’t fight your subconscious and win — and your body isn’t broken for responding the way it does. It’s protecting you. We explore why diets keep us focused on surface behaviors instead of healing the root causes, how anxiety often drives emotional eating, and what actually creates lasting peace with food: calming the nervous system, resolving stress, and working with your body instead of against it.

Heal Unconscious Blocks with Food and Your Body — Reclaim Your Creativity
Talking with Paulette Reese Denis today about our shared passion for creativity, movement, living from inspiration instead of struggle we touched on a common problem many creative, visionary entrepreneurs have getting stuck in cycles of shame and blame with food and their bodies. In this talk I discuss how I have helped hundreds of women feel more peace with food and their bodies, naturally and get unstuck using deep emotional release with EFT-Tapping to fully reclaim their creativity and power.
For visionary entrepreneurs, food struggles and body shame are not the real problem — they’re symptoms of deeper, unconscious blocks that drain creative energy. When your mind is trapped in the constant loop of “what should I eat?”, “why can’t I stop?”, or “why don’t I look the way I should?”, your genius has no bandwidth left to innovate, lead, or create. Emotional eating, cravings, and body resistance are often coping strategies your nervous system learned to keep you safe during earlier stress or trauma. When we use EFT tapping and subconscious release work to dissolve those blocks, something profound happens: your creativity comes back online. Energy that used to go toward managing food and self-judgment becomes available for bold ideas, confident decisions, and inspired action. Healing your relationship with food and your body isn’t vanity — it’s the doorway to reclaiming your intuition, your power, and your creative fire.
Combing trauma-informed therapy, functional nutrition and nervous system repair using EFT- Emotional Freedom Techniques over the last 20 years with clients creates the lasting change they seek.
Building a life and business that doesn’t require sacrificing physical and emotional well-being is possible when we shoot the arrow at the right target: our inner peace.

Heal Unconscious Blocks with Food and Your Body — Reclaim Your Creativity
In this podcast I discuss with host Paulette Rees-Denis of Heart and Hustle Podcast, my journey from celebrity chef to nutrition and subconscious transformation expert.
We discuss some of the true root causes to why many people remain stuck in cycles of emotional eating, yo-yo dieting, and post-40 weight gain despite their best efforts.
We discuss how I work with clients to break free from lifelong patterns using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as EFT- tapping. This powerful approach addresses “the tip of the iceberg” – the hidden traumas and subconscious blocks that drive self-sabotaging behaviors around food. In my experience working with people one on one over the last 18 years, releasing trapped emotions can effortlessly transform not just eating habits, but relationships, creative expression, and success in many of my clients careers.
Whether you’re struggling with food cravings, relationship frustrations, or creative blocks, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on healing: address the subconscious stress patterns first, and the symptoms naturally resolve.
Beyond the Scale to the Root of Stress Eating
I’ve worked with so many women that focus on the scale, and feel controlled by what it reflects back to them. Healing lies not in what we see in that number however, but in the stress at the root cause of much of our eating habits. If we struggle with cravings, compulsive snacking, binging or grazing throughout the day and an inability to stop nighttime eating then weight loss has less to do with what to eat and more to do with releasing chronic stress that impacts our ability to create the healthy “self care” strategies we so want to often. It’s. not about will-power, it’s about peace from hidden anxiety.

Beyond the Scale to Healing the Emotional Roots of Stress Eating
In this podcast I discuss with host Maria Llyod of Catalyst for Healing, my journey from celebrity chef to nutrition and subconscious transformation expert.

Weight and food issues seem to be one of the greatest gateways into healing what holds us back in every area of our lives- what we think is about food is often about everything else…
Conventional wisdom about aging and weight gain being inevitable in my experience has more to do with chronic (unresolved and/or hidden) stress – not inevitable hormone decline and might be the real culprit for many women over 40. I discuss how deep nutrition rather than restriction creates sustainable health, and clearing emotional blocks can resolve chronic health issues that have persisted for decades while also effortlessly moving us forward with our business and entrepreneurial goals at the same time.
Whether you’re struggling with food cravings, relationship frustrations, or creative blocks, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on healing: address the subconscious stress patterns first, and the symptoms naturally resolve.

Why Diets Fail—and What Really Works for Women Leaders
In this powerful conversation with Janeen Vosper of We Are Women Podcast, we discuss the hidden struggles many successful women face when it comes to food, weight, and self-care.
Despite excelling in business and leadership, countless women quietly battle cravings, exhaustion, and shame about their bodies—cycles that traditional diets and willpower rarely solve.
I shares how years of chronic stress and even unhealed trauma often drive these struggles. When left unresolved, these invisible forces sabotage well-being and success, keeping women stuck in patterns of burnout and self-sabotage. Through tools like EFT tapping, I discuss how to rewire subconscious responses, reduce stress, and create a new relationship with food and body.
Instead of relying on restrictive diets or pushing harder—approaches that backfire and reinforce feelings of failure—I advocates for a gentler, sustainable path. I discuss the shift from deprivation to ease, reconnecting with their intuition, and learning to listen to the body’s wisdom. By reframing weight struggles as protective patterns rather than personal failures, women can finally release shame and embrace self-care with confidence.

Why It’s Not About Food: The Roots Of Emotional Eating
If food feels like a constant mental battle — especially around the holidays — this episode is for you. With Thanksgiving and the season of gatherings, desserts, and diet talk in full swing, I sit down with Nicole Johnson of the Wellthy Healthy Podcast for a powerful conversation about the real roots of emotional eating and body image struggles.
Together, we unpack why so many high-achieving, health-conscious women (especially in midlife) still feel trapped in cycles of cravings, dieting, shame, and self-criticism — even when they “know what to do.” Sandy shares why weight gain is often a symptom, not the problem, and how healing subconscious beliefs and past experiences can create lasting freedom with food.
This is a hope-filled, eye-opening episode that goes far beyond meal plans and willpower. If you’ve ever felt like you “should have this figured out by now,” you are not alone — and you are not broken. There is another way.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why food and body struggles aren’t actually about food
- How childhood messages and family patterns shape our relationship with eating
- The dieting epidemic in women over 40 and why it keeps repeating
- Black-and-white “good food/bad food” thinking and the perfectionism trap
- Why willpower fails when subconscious needs are running the show
- What EFT/tapping is and how it helps heal emotional roots of cravings
- Real client stories of releasing diet obsession and emotional reliance on food or alcohol
- How to move toward peace, pleasure, and trust with eating — even during the holidays
The Hidden Emotional Patterns Driving Your Eating
This conversation goes way beyond nutrition. In this podcast we discuss the powerful blend of trauma healing, emotional belief work, and ancestral nutrition, and why food issues are almost never about food.
What We Talk About
- How guilt, shame, and self-judgment around food show up for women
- The deeper emotional patterns that often form in childhood — and how they drive our eating behaviors as adults
- Why focusing only on diet keeps us stuck, and how addressing the nervous system finally creates lasting change
- My approach to integrating EFT tapping for emotional release and regulation
- What “ancestral nutrition” actually means and why it’s so different for each person
- How we sabotage ourselves (and how to stop repeating those same cycles)
