Lacou Flipse: Healing from Emotional Eating through Pleasure

Do you struggle with emotional eating? Healing is possible, and our guest Lacou Flipse is living proof. A former binge eater turned trauma-informed food coach, she's been helping women release emotional and binge eating for over a decade. 

Lacou shares her innovative "pleasuring process," an approach that separates pleasure from bingeing and transfers it to the pleasure of being present with ourselves. Instead of looking to food to fill us up emotionally, we come to the food fed - nourished from within. Lacou makes a distinction between intuitive eating and pleasure eating and shares her perspective that strict food rules obscure the opportunity to explore hidden layers.

In this interview discuss the challenge of sugar addiction and how pleasure eating can be a lifeline for those grappling with it. Lacou emphasizes the importance of self-intimacy, the ongoing nature of recovery, and the need for continual refinement in your relationship with food. 

We also explore the concept of recovery that doesn't necessarily mean giving up certain foods altogether, instead, Lacou encourages using food as an invitation to delve deeper into our underlying issues and emotions, and even into how trauma can come into play.

We conclude with a conversation on how insecure attachment (early childhood trauma) can manifest in compulsive eating and the critical role of pleasure in addressing our unmet needs. 

Join us for this deep and enriching discussion and gain insight into a non-abstinence-based approach to disordered eating.
