A Conversation with Geneen Roth - Untangling the Knot Between Mothers, Daughters and Food
from The Eating Disorder Therapist · host HARRIET FREW
Today, I have a very special guest. I’m talking to Geneen Roth. Many of you will have heard of Geneen and likely love her writing and teaching. Geneen has written eleven books, including multiple New York Times bestsellers. She has led workshops and retreats attended by thousands of students. She has appeared on Oprah, Good Morning America, and many others and most importantly has helped shape how multiple generations understand emotional eating, so people who once felt trapped, now feel free. Geneen’s work has long examined the relational and emotional roots of disordered eating. Her new book, LOVE FINALLY, is out on April 21st, 2026 and it explores the lifelong mother daughter bond and how early attachment patterns can shape experiences of hunger, control, self-worth, and care, often resurfacing during midlife or in other developmental transitions. In today’s conversation, I’m going to explore with Geneen how inherited relational dynamics intersect with eating disorder patterns. Geneen will talk more about her own journey of healing, particularly in her relationship with her mother, and how today, she has truly shifted old distorted conclusions and stories held onto from the past, which were unconsciously shaping her life and worth. To now finding a place of profound healing and peace today. If you're struggling with your own healing, with difficult emotions surfacing from the past, tangled up in old stories and beliefs. If you're longing to escape from the old patterns and to truly move towards a place of forgiveness, without shortcutting the vital healing. Then this episode is one for you. I hope that you enjoy it.
