  Get the FREE Tapping Video to Stop the Late Day Emotional Eating. Click here: https://kimhynes.com/late-day-emotional-eating-tapping-video Transitions can be tough. Menopause, empty nest, retirement, moving, or even grief can shake the ground beneath us. When life feels uncertain, food often becomes the one place we turn for comfort and safety. In this solo episode, Kim explores why emotional eating shows up so strongly during life changes, how it ties back to safety and stability, and what you can do to navigate these seasons with love and grace. Kim shares personal reflections and client stories to remind you that you are not alone in this. She also offers practical tools to create real safety in your body and mind without relying on food. If you have been eating your way through change, this episode will help you pause, breathe, and rebuild stability from the inside out. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why transitions trigger emotional eating The role of safety and stability in our relationship with food How menopause and midlife changes affect cravings and body trust The emotional weight of transitions: loss, fear, and loneliness Why we often forget to give ourselves love and grace during change Practical tools for riding the waves without relying on food How to build a “Transition Safety Toolkit” with rituals, grounding, and connection Highlights: ·       Food feels safe because it is predictable, but safety is something we can create in our bodies and minds. ·       Menopause is not just physical. It is an identity transition. If my body is changing, can I still feel safe living in it? ·       During transitions, we do not always realize how much we are carrying. That is why we forget to give ourselves love and grace. ·       Safety is not about control. It is about trust. Trusting yourself to move through change with compassion.

• 121. The Vacation Mindset That Heals Stress, Emotional Eating, and Midlife Health

  Get the FREE Tapping Video to Stop the Late Day Emotional Eating. Click here: https://kimhynes.com/late-day-emotional-eating-tapping-video In this special end-of-summer episode, I’m reflecting on my recent vacation, my 59th birthday, and how we can all bring that vacation peace into our everyday lives without having to wait for the next trip. As we head into fall, I share how shifting seasons can be the perfect opportunity for a personal reset for your emotional and physical life. You’ll hear about my time in Wisconsin…paddleboarding, long walks, less TV, more nature, and truly being in the moment.  You’ll hear how those simple changes impacted my body, mind, and spirit. We’ll explore how vacations naturally slow us down, help us eat when we’re hungry (instead of by the clock), sleep better, and be more intentional. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to bring those rhythms home so we can feel less stressed, more present, and at peace year-round. From letting go of forcing outcomes whether with our adult kids, friendships, or work to choosing movement because we can (not because we “have to”), this is about creating a life that feels free, not like a to-do list. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why novelty and new experiences keep your brain sharp at any age The surprising impact of slowing down on digestion, inflammation, and energy How vacation rhythms can inspire more mindful eating and movement Why waking without an alarm and starting with gratitude changes everything Simple ways to create peace, pause, and presence in your daily life You don’t have to wait for the next getaway to feel at ease—you can create that rhythm now. What vacation moments can you bring home?  Reach out and let me know. Here’s to 59—and to whatever age you are—living fully, intentionally, and with peace every day.

• 120. Break Free from Perfectionism, People-Pleasing, and Emotional Outsourcing with Béa Victoria Albina

  Get the FREE Tapping Video to Stop the Late Day Emotional Eating. Click here: https://kimhynes.com/late-day-emotional-eating-tapping-video What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re “broken,” but because you’ve been trained to put everyone else first? In this episode, I’m joined by Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP, to explore her powerful concept of emotional outsourcing—the habit of sourcing our safety, belonging, and worth from others instead of ourselves. Béa shares how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and codependency are often survival strategies written into our nervous systems by childhood experiences, cultural conditioning, and even systemic forces. She explains the vital role of somatic awareness, why “kitten steps” create safer change than big leaps, and how to begin listening to your body’s needs in the smallest moments—like pausing before your morning coffee. We also discuss: How your nervous system responds to stress, and the three key branches that shape your reactions The truth about being “too sensitive” and why big emotions aren’t a flaw Practical grounding and orienting tools to stop reactive patterns before they happen Why midlife women struggle with authenticity and self-acceptance, and how to reclaim joy at any age The connection between feeling unworthy and using food to cope This conversation is both compassionate and fiercely empowering, offering real-world practices to help you step back into your own worth, safety, and belonging—without guilt or apology. About Béa: Beatriz (Béa) Victoria Albina, NP, MPH, SEP, is a UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Master Certified Somatic Life Coach. She helps women break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people-pleasing by reconnecting with their bodies, regulating their nervous systems, and rewiring their minds. Béa is the host of the Feminist Wellness podcast and author of the upcoming End Emotional Outsourcing (Sept 30, Hachette Balance). With over 20 years in health and wellness, she holds a Master’s in Public Health from Boston University and a BA from Oberlin College. Born in Argentina and raised in Rhode Island, she now lives with her wife, Billey, and their beloved black cat, Wade.
