  • Why Food Isn’t the Problem: Healing Triggers, Trauma & Body Image
    Dec 10 2025

    Some conversations crack you open in a way you don’t expect — and this one with Amber Romaniuk is exactly that. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle with food, your body, your self-worth, or the stories you’ve carried since childhood… this episode will hit close to home in the best possible way.

    Amber shares her journey from years of emotional eating and body image struggles to finally understanding what she was actually hungry for. She talks about the weight she carried — physically and emotionally — and how binge eating became a way to cope until she found the courage to break the cycle. We get into the real stuff: the triggers that follow you from childhood, the pressure to “fix” your body quickly, the hormones that quietly run the show, and why things like Ozempic can feel tempting but never heal the root.

    This episode is a reminder that healing your relationship with food isn’t about discipline… it’s about compassion, self-awareness, and finally choosing yourself. And the ripple effect of that? It touches every part of your life.

    What you’ll take away from this episode:

    – How Amber lost and gained over 1,000 pounds before she understood the emotional patterns underneath

    – Why childhood wounds show up in our relationship with food as adults

    – The connection between binge eating, trauma, and self-protection

    – What it really looks like to recognize your “enough is enough” moment

    – How hormones can quietly influence cravings, mood, and body image

    – Why building self-worth changes everything

    – How to identify your emotional triggers before they pull you in

    – The role of mindfulness and self-compassion in long-term healing

    – Why quick fixes like Ozempic never create true freedom

    – The unexpected ways healing around food transforms your entire life

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting your body instead of living in it, this conversation will give you hope — and a place to start.

  • Episode 146 I Balancing AI and Human Connection
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode we had the pleasure of speaking with Dorota Ulkowska, Director of Client Services at Accurate Network Services. We explored the significant role technology plays in both our business and personal lives. Dorota shared her insights on how AI can be both a powerful tool for increasing productivity and a potential barrier to maintaining human connections. We discussed the importance of adopting AI cautiously and ensuring that technological advancements do not overshadow genuine human interactions. Our conversation also touched on the critical need for IT security, understanding cloud services, and how mindfulness can help manage stress and keep us present. Dorota's journey from mindfulness coaching to IT services highlights the ever-changing landscape of technology and its profound impact on our daily routines.

    Takeaways:

    • Technology is a crucial part of life, but understanding its role is essential.
    • AI can boost productivity but should be used carefully to preserve human elements.
    • Maintaining human connection is vital, and technology should not replace it.
    • IT security is a necessity, not just a formality.
    • Mindfulness can help manage stress and improve focus.
    • Organizations should align technology with their specific needs.
    • Training and awareness are key to preventing security breaches.
    • Intentional use of technology can help reclaim personal time.
    • Balancing work and personal life is essential for well-being.
    • Continuous learning and adaptation are necessary in the fast-evolving tech landscape.
