Heads up for an extra-super-duper-crazy-special episode. You’ve been warned!

Yum Mum Alum Yvette joined me for an episode to talk about all the ways the Yummy Mummy Experience (YMX) changed her personal experience of food, eating, and her body for the better.

Wife, mom of two, and pediatric dentist in Chicago, Yvette was schooled from a young age to soothe with food. If the emotion you were feeling was “negative,” the answer was always the same: eat.

Not shockingly, this led to Yvette internalizing the belief that experiencing anything other than 100% happiness was a problem. Only life doesn’t quite deliver us 100% happiness, does it? So Yvette felt stuck the other 50% of the time that she felt less-than-stellar. So, as taught, she ate about it, and spent years thinking the hopelessness she felt was inevitable.

After a few months in YMX, Yvette is 20 pounds down to the size she was in high school, only THIS time, she’s finally shed those emotional eating patterns that held her back for so many years.

As a result of the work she’s done in YMX to overcome emotional eating, Yvette finally feels hopeful, healthy, and has a beautiful, empowering self-care practice to rely on.

I love her story SO much and I know you will, too.

Listen in to my conversation with Yvette and you’ll hear more about:

Unlearning the pattern of emotional eating and overeating
How Yvette used the YMX band-aid approach and why it works so well
Effective emotional management tools to use instead of food
The impact of truly realizing this body journey never ends
The most extreme things Yvette tried to lose weight for the last time

The next round of Yummy Mummy is kicking off THIS month, so be sure to get your booty in for the April 2024 YMX cohort!
