In this episode of the Habits of High Performers Podcast, I sit down with Nic from Binge Free Bestie to unpack why binge eating is so common in high performers, and why it so often stays hidden behind success.

Nic shares her own recovery story, the binge restrict cycle, and how shame and perfectionism keep people stuck. We also explore why binge eating has no “look”, why quick fix tools do not work long term without mindset and nervous system work, and how to build real food freedom.

If you’ve ever felt disciplined everywhere else but powerless around food, this episode will give you simple, practical tools you can use immediately.
