Helen Bennett
Welcome back to One For The Road. This week I am joined by Helen Bennett. If you'd met Helen 10 years ago you would likely have never guessed that she was fighting a two-decade-long battle with bulimia. While she looked like a trim, confident, and successful small business owner on the outside, she was in fact silently trapped inside a daily vicious cycle of losing control of food and then doing whatever it took to get rid of the excess that she'd consumed. Nothing that she'd tried - no diet, no meal plan, no willpower, no therapy - had the power to help her stop. Fortunately, when her business closed in 2015, she made the decision to focus on her recovery again - but this time more intelligently - which meant doing things totally differently than how she'd been doing them before. And slowly, with many bumps along the way, she began to create a truly nourishing and carefree relationship with food. Now, Helen is the founder of BulimiaFreedom.com, and works with people all over the world to help them break free of the nightmare that is disordered eating ... and cultivate a deep sense of their own worth and lovability along the way. In this week's episode, we discuss the links between addiction, alcohol, and food.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice for Helen.http://bulimiafreedom.comhttps://www.instagram.com/bulimiafreedom/www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/ Learn more about your ad choices.
