    Ep 277 Holiday FOOD FUN Tip!

    Are you stuck in an endless cycle of dieting, perfectionism, and guilt? Do you find yourself constantly switching between strict control over food and complete abandon, only to feel joyless and exhausted? How about finding a way to break free from these patterns and truly enjoy your life without fear or shame around food, body, and weight?

    The perfectionist mindset can feel like a trap—rewarding us with fleeting moments of control but leaving us drained, frustrated, and disconnected from our authentic selves. For many, the holidays amplify this struggle, with extra food, drinks, and social expectations heightening the pressure to "stay on track" while secretly longing for freedom and joy. The more we strive for perfection, the more we may feel we’re missing out on the vibrant, colorful life we deserve.

    In this episode, Leslie  shares her transformative journey from rigid dieting and fear-based control to a life of freedom, joy, and authenticity. She invites us to shift from perfectionism to integrity, explore new sources of joy, and embrace our full self-expression. Let’s move past the limitations of all-or-nothing thinking and rediscover what it means to live in the present moment. Listen to Leslie's insights as they offer a powerful roadmap for change.

    "Give yourself permission to have joy this holiday. That is what they're all about. That is where we get access to it. And if that feels impossible to you, just know that there are ways to get there." - Leslie Thornton

    Ep 276 Masculine Vs. Feminine Communication and Relationships

    Are you feeling stuck in a cycle of arguments, stress, and unmet emotional needs in your relationships? Do you find yourself constantly taking on responsibility for everything, leaving you exhausted and unfulfilled? What if the way you communicate is the key to breaking free and creating the harmony you’ve been craving?

    The truth is, many of us were programmed early in life to communicate in ways that serve us in professional settings but create challenges in our personal lives. Direct, task-focused communication may help you excel at work, but it often leaves relationships strained and emotional needs unmet. Without learning how to balance masculine and feminine communication styles, you may find yourself stuck in patterns of conflict, disconnection, and unhealthy coping mechanisms like stress eating or burnout.

    But the good thing is, you can transform these patterns by learning to communicate in ways that foster emotional connection and invite others to support you. Through a combination of self-awareness, emotional mastery, and a willingness to practice new habits, it’s possible to create relationships that bring joy, ease, and fulfillment. Leslie’s program offers tools, insights, and guidance to help you make lasting changes, empowering you to feel loved, understood, and at peace in your personal and professional life.

    "Consider that when we decide to be a different way and to tap into our feminine and to learn how to take better care of ourselves and ask for what we need, that gives other people the opportunity to come in and help you. And again, you'll start to receive those results that you didn't know that you could get before because you're doing things in a different way." - Leslie Thonton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    01:43 - How addressing the root causes of food, body, and weight issues—including ineffective communication and unmanaged emotions—can help heal your relationship with food

    04:35  - The importance of slowing down and addressing unspoken emotions and communication issues

    06:37 - How early life programming shapes communication styles

    14:19 - The transformative power of feminine communication

    21:11 - How learning feminine communication can lead to healthier relationships and personal growth

    24:25 - Inviting listeners to take actionable steps towards improving their health and mindset by  attending her holiday health retreat or booking a call to explore her coaching program

    Ep 275 Family with Addiction and NLP with Michele Blumenthal

    Have you ever felt stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, whether in your relationships, health, or personal growth? Do you find yourself numbing emotions, whether through overeating, anger, or isolation, wondering why true fulfillment feels out of reach? You’re not alone—many people struggle to break free from these invisible barriers.

    These patterns often stem from unresolved emotions, deeply ingrained beliefs, and life challenges that push us to the edge. When left unaddressed, they manifest in ways that hold us back—through strained relationships, self-sabotaging behaviors, or even physical health issues. It’s a cycle that feels impossible to escape without the right tools, leaving many of us searching for answers in all the wrong places.

Now, she empowers others to do the same—helping clients overcome their own barriers, heal emotionally, and build extraordinary lives.

    26:38 - Her journey from suppressing emotions and performing under immense stress to finding peace and connection through personal growth and transformative work

    "Once you can actually feel inside your nervous system peace, steady, stable, calm, happy in your life, that is when the blessings come in. If you are on the rat race and in the hamster wheel of constantly thinking about this and constantly go, go, go, and you know that it's an issue, listen to it, take action, get clarity on it so that you can get past it." - Leslie Thornton

    Ep 272 Emotional Eating with Sarah Alysse Bobo

    Emotional disconnection often lies at the heart of struggles with eating habits and overall well-being. Many individuals turn to food not just for sustenance but as a coping mechanism to navigate complex emotions—often without realizing the patterns ingrained by family dynamics and life experiences. This unconscious cycle can leave people feeling stuck, disconnected from their true selves, and unsure how to break free.

    The impact of these patterns goes beyond individual behavior, manifesting as generational habits rooted in unresolved emotions like sadness, anger, or fear. For many, societal stigmas and external judgments amplify the inner turmoil, turning mealtime into a battlefield of guilt and unmet needs. Without addressing the emotional core of these struggles, food becomes both a comfort and a source of shame, perpetuating a cycle that feels impossible to escape.

    As Sarah shares in this episode, finding clarity through quiet introspection and nurturing spiritual connection can be transformative. By exploring emotional triggers, family influences, and personal beliefs, she reveals how to cultivate resilience and self-awareness. Through techniques like mental sanctuary visualization and embracing traditions, individuals can rediscover joy, heal emotional wounds, and reframe their relationship with food and themselves.

    Ep 271 Falling off Track

    Many of us find ourselves trapped in an exhausting cycle of losing weight only to gain it back, struggling with diets and exercise routines that feel unsustainable. Despite billions of dollars spent annually on weight-loss products, the success rate remains dismally low, with most people eventually falling off track. What’s often overlooked is the underlying emotional struggle—stress, exhaustion, and self-judgment—that drives these patterns in the first place.

    This relentless focus on food and weight can lead to feelings of failure and frustration as people battle the same habits, again and again, only to end up back where they started. Traditional methods like restrictive diets and intense exercise can feel like punishment, adding more stress and shame to the process. Without addressing the emotional roots of these patterns, every setback becomes another reason to give up, reinforcing the belief that lasting change isn’t possible.

    But what if there were a different approach—one that addresses the emotional triggers behind the cycle? By learning to identify and shift emotional responses, individuals can transform how they relate to food and body image. Hypnosis, combined with emotional mastery techniques, offers a path to break free from self-judgment and achieve sustainable, healthy habits rooted in self-acceptance and empowerment.

    "We're wasting billions of dollars. $74 billion in the US every single year goes to weight loss, supplements, products, systems, and the statistic is 95% of us will fall off track. I was part of that statistics. And so there's just the opportunity to change the complete mindset about the whole thing and say, how can I love myself through this process the most? What would feel like the most self-loving and caring action I could take that will bring me to a space of true health?" - Leslie M. Thornton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    01:18 - Adopting a holistic, sustainable approach to self-care and health

    2:39 - How emotional responses often drive the cycle of weight gain and loss and that mastering emotional regulation can help regain control over habits and avoid fluctuations in weight

    06:55 - Sharing insights from her coaching, describing how emotional responses drive people toward eating habits that undermine their goals

    12:34 - Explaining how self-judgment and negative thoughts, like feeling "lazy" or "not good enough," often trigger overeating or falling off track

    15:53 - The need to release the pressure of perfection, view every health decision as a valuable learning experience, and approach their wellness journey with self-forgiveness and openness to the next chapter

    20:20 - The importance of addressing the emotional roots of eating habits and encouraging a shift from restrictive diets to self-compassionate approach

    Ep 270 Why can’t I stop emotionally eating?

    In an image-driven world, many people feel trapped in cycles of emotional eating, self-criticism, and self-sabotaging habits. Habits like nail biting or overeating become part of an identity that reinforces shame and fear of failure. The more we cling to these labels, the more isolated and restricted we feel, unable to move forward.

    As each slip-up adds to the narrative of "I'm broken," it’s easy to stay stuck in cycles of negative self-judgment. This mindset brings anxiety, harsh self-criticism, and often a sense of hopelessness. Even efforts toward change can feel like a never-ending battle against an enemy within, creating a life ruled by restriction rather than freedom.

    What if these struggles were actually guiding us to a path of growth? Leslie encourages that these habits can serve as signals to explore and address underlying beliefs and emotions. By shifting to a mindset of curiosity and self-compassion, we can transform these challenges into allies for personal freedom, fulfillment, and lasting change.

    "It's about getting healthier and better every day. It's not about just the end goal of being perfect." - Leslie Thornton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    01:05 - Tackling the cycle of emotional eating and self-sabotage around food, body, and weight

    08:40 - Expanding on the impact of labeling oneself with identities tied to perceived problems or addictions, such as food addiction or nail biting, and how this attachment reinforces the behavior

    14:18 - Emphasizing the importance of adopting an empowering, growth-oriented mindset when addressing issues around food, body, and weight, as opposed to a mindset rooted in self-labeling and control

    20:37 - Encouraging each one to make a conscious choice between control and growth in their approach to food, body, and self-identity

    21:57 - Explaining a self-reflective approach to addressing habits, particularly with clients working through behaviors like nail biting or emotional eating

    26:41 - Reframing behaviors not as problems to eradicate but as gentle nudges inviting one to explore underlying emotions, beliefs, and needs

    Ep 269 Breakdown of the Core Categories of the H.E.A.L. Method

    Have you ever wondered why no matter how many diets you try, the results never seem to last? You might lose weight or feel more in control for a while, but the stress and temptation eventually creep back, pulling you into the same old cycles of yo-yo dieting, frustration, and self-blame. Many find themselves trapped in an endless loop of trying to improve their weight only to be met with the same disappointments.

    It’s no wonder these cycles feel impossible to break. After all, most diet plans and weight loss programs focus solely on what you should or shouldn’t eat, leaving out the most crucial factor: your emotional and mental relationship with food, body, and self. Without addressing these underlying issues, diets become temporary solutions, only masking the deeper emotional triggers and ingrained beliefs about food and self-worth that keep you stuck. Every time you try to rely on sheer willpower or ignore your own body’s signals, you may only feel more disconnected, unfulfilled, and out of control.

    There’s a better way to deal with this struggle—one that goes beyond the diet industry’s focus on deprivation and restriction. Leslie’s HEAL method is a holistic approach that aims to empower you to break free from this cycle once and for all. By guiding you to master your emotional responses, align your actions with what truly feels good, and build a sustainable, self-compassionate relationship with food and yourself, HEAL offers not just temporary relief but a path to lasting freedom from food and weight issues.

    "In my experience with working with clients, this is what happens. Once you learn how to say yes to yourself and learn how to listen to these actual truths within you, because no other diet plan is going to know who you are. Only you could know what feels right and doesn't feel right for you. And women specifically do better when they feel better."  - Leslie Thornton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    01:10 - Brief overview of the HEAL method

    02:10 - Hypnosis as the foundational element of the HEAL method

    06:03 - Illustrating through a client example how unresolved emotions, self-criticism, and bottling up feelings often lead to emotional eating or overeating

    11:21 - Delving into the "Emotional Mastery" stage of the HEAL method which is considered as the most transformative part

    20:49 - Discussing the "Aligned, Authentic Action" phase of the HEAL method emphasizing the importance of tuning into one's current needs, lifestyle, and self-care preferences

    28:16 - Explaining "Learning Lasting Self-Care," and encouraging to build a sustainable, self-compassionate mindset and authentic health practices

    Ep 268 HPWL's H.E.AL. Method Explained

    Are you constantly struggling with food, body image, or weight, feeling like there's something wrong with you that needs fixing? Do you find yourself trapped in cycles of unhealthy habits, shame, and guilt, and unable to break free from them? If you've ever wondered why lasting change feels so out of reach, here's the truth--this problem is deeper than calories or scales—it's rooted in how we see ourselves.

    This constant self-criticism creates a mental and emotional burden that affects not just your body, but your entire life. The weight of judgment seeps into your relationships, your happiness, and even your family's well-being. You may find yourself disconnected from joy, fearful of your own emotions, and living a life that feels less than fulfilling. And without addressing the underlying causes, this cycle will continue, leaving you feeling stuck and exhausted.

    But there's a holistic way to deal with this one. The HEAL method offers a path not to fix you, but to help you rediscover the whole, complete person you’ve always been. By shifting your mindset and healing your emotional wounds, you can transform your health, relationships, and overall sense of joy. This journey isn’t about perfection—it's about unlocking your potential to live a vibrant, fulfilling life that's rooted in happiness and freedom.

    "If we keep thinking it's just calories in and calories out and following rigid rules, we're getting unhealthier. It's backfiring, it's not working. It's a huge problem in our society. Health is about freedom. It's about freedom to enjoy life's moments, eat the cake at the party, and the barbecue on the 4th of July without guilt. It's the guilt that's killing us. It's the shame that's killing us. It's not the food." - Leslie Thornton

    What you will learn from this episode:

    03:28 - First of the four phases of the HEAL method: Hypnosis and its benefits

    05:21 - Second phase: Emotional mastery, its purpose and benefits

    06:37 - The third phase: Aligned authentic actions and the things you'll learn in this phase

    08:07 - Introducing the fourth part of the HEAL method: Learn lasting self-care, the three key things you'll learn and its benefits

    08:37 -   "HEAL Method"  and how it addresses emotional eating and subconscious beliefs through holistic approach rather than relying on temporary tactics like calorie counting or trendy diets

    11:51 - Explaining the deeper emotional and mental aspects behind weight struggles

    17:13 - Reflecting on the regrets of the dying, emphasizing that many people live according to others' expectations rather than staying true to themselves

    21:42 - How true health is not about being skinny, but about feeling good in all aspects of life

    26:45 - Leslie sharing how her true fulfillment comes from seeing people courageously take action and implement the lessons to transform themselves and their families

    30:06 - Emphasizing how the HEAL method is not about fixing people but about helping them realize their inherent worth and guiding them to uncover the best version of themselves
