Hello and welcome back to Healing 101.

Today's episode is with the brilliant Shahroo Izadi, behavioural change specialist and author of *Why Diets Make Us Fat*.

If you've ever struggled to understand the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger, found yourself trapped in cycles of dieting or binge eating, or wondered how to build a healthier relationship with food, this conversation is for you.

We talk about comfort eating, shame, self-trust and why so many of us use food to change how we feel. Most importantly, Shahroo shares practical, compassionate advice on how to break free from all-or-nothing thinking and create lasting change.

I hope you enjoy it.

Today I'm joined by OCD advocate and content creator Zachary Tucker for a powerful conversation about living with OCD, intrusive thoughts, uncertainty and recovery.

Zack shares his personal journey with OCD, from relationship OCD and health anxiety to the misconceptions that so many people still have about the condition. We talk about the role of fear and doubt, why OCD attaches itself to the things we care about most, and the tools that have helped him build a life that is no longer controlled by anxiety.

Whether you have OCD yourself, love someone who does, or simply struggle with overthinking and self-doubt, there's so much insight and hope in this conversation.

Welcome back to Healing 101. Today I’m joined by psychologist and bestselling author Dr Tara Porter for a conversation about parenting, teenagers, boundaries and what children really need emotionally from us. We talk about the difference between normal teenage behaviour and genuine warning signs, why parents so often panic when children begin to pull away, and how important it is to stay connected even through the messy stages of adolescence. We also discuss perfectionism, people pleasing and why being a good enough parent is far more important than trying to be a perfect one.
