162: Exploring Binge Eating with Erin Murnane

Thrive Beyond Size

CW: conversations on binge eating and disordered eating

Friends welcome to another episode of Thrive Beyond Size. Many of you regular listeners may recall that this podcast went by a different name for the first one hundred episodes and had a different focus. It was called Mindful Weight Loss and was very focused on the weight loss and diet space. When I made the pivot for Episode 101, I shared the main reason why I wanted to shift to a health at every size focus but I didn’t fully share everything. You’ll hear that story today in my conversation with the absolutely wonderful Erin Murnane. Erin is a Dietician working in Australia and the UK with a virtual private practice that specializes in binge eating disorders. I connected so deeply with Erin and her work in our talk.

One of the things I struggled with during the pivot to Thrive Beyond Size was feeling deeply alone in this health at every size space. I felt lonely in the sea of intense talk about weight loss from every angle. Meeting Erin was a breath of fresh air as she shares a mindset and career focus similar to mine. She helps people who struggle with disordered eating from a non-diet and intuitive eating framework. Erin shares openly about her work, what motivated her to move in this direction, and information on how disordered eating can be approached. I suffered from binge eating disorder early in my medical residency and I keenly remember the feeling of shame. Erin wants to help people move past that shame into healing relationships with food and themselves. She is a marvellous person, understanding and knowledgeable, very upfront. This conversation brought back memories that I am happy now to share in the hopes that it helps others struggling as I was.
