Recomposed: Emotional Eating, Nervous System Healing & Self-Compassion with Cristina Simmons

In this final episode of The Nourisher Podcast for 2025, I sit down with trauma-informed wellness coach, pediatric occupational therapist, and author Cristina Simmons for a deeply honest conversation about survival mode, emotional eating, grief, and reclaiming your relationship with your body.Cristina shares her story of navigating profound loss, raising a child with special needs, and living for years on autopilot disconnected from her emotions and her body. We discuss how unprocessed trauma can show up as chronic inflammation, anxiety, body dysmorphia, and emotional eating, and why our bodies aren’t betraying us but actually communicating.From food as a coping mechanism to learning how to listen to your body’s signals, this conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in survival mode and is ready to move toward wholeness one honest step at a time.Until next time, stay strong, stay connected, and keep growing!The Nourisher Podcast is for the woman who feels alone in her journey and is yearning for connection and sisterhood built upon vulnerability, authenticity, and open hearts. Learn more about the mission and vision for The Nourisher Podcast at www.thenourisherpod.com. Follow us on socialFacebookInstagramLinkedInPinterestYoutube
