After decades of obsession, frustration, and starting over, Paige Alexander holds this space to speak honestly about what it takes to heal, offering lived experience, grounded perspective, and practical tools to rebuild a life rooted in peace instead of chaos.\nIn this episode, Paige sits down with Colleen Clifford, author of Life Beyond the Binge, to explore the deeper layers of recovery from binge eating, bulimia, and the emotional patterns that keep people stuck. This conversation moves beyond surface-level solutions and into the real work of untangling shame, learning how to sit with discomfort, and discovering who you are outside of coping cycles with food, alcohol, and other behaviors.\nColleen is an author, speaker, and health coach who helps people understand cravings, grief, and the hidden survival patterns many carry quietly. Drawing from her own lived experience, her work focuses on shame-free change and rebuilding trust with yourself.\nTogether, Paige and Colleen discuss shifting from perfection to progress, building awareness without self-judgment, and what it actually looks like to give yourself grace when you are not getting it right. They also explore the connection between emotional eating, mental health, and ultra-processed food patterns for anyone working to rebuild self-trust and create a life that no longer revolves around food.\nIf you are searching for clarity, understanding, and a more grounded path forward in recovery, this conversation will meet you where you are.\nQuestions, stories, or thoughts can be shared anytime at realfoodrecovery4u@gmail.com, and more resources can be found at www.realfoodrecovery4u.com.\n© 2026 Paige Alexander — All rights reserved.\n Real Food Recovery Podcast™ is an original educational podcast focused on sustainable...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ICzA71TKladG4gnD28qHKih8NSHT9BnlHKeaGYMJ3ls/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83Yjky/OWIzNDM2MzNjYWVk/ZmIzOWQ3OGYzZDkw/OWNlMy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
