Episode Details

Nan Saysana is a coach who helps women overcome binge eating by addressing what lies beneath the surface. After spending 30 years trapped in a cycle of dieting, guilt, and late-night binge eating, she discovered that the real battle wasn’t about food — it was about stress, emotions, and learning to trust herself again.

Today, she helps women build a healthier relationship with food, themselves, and their emotions.

In this honest and relatable conversation, Nan shares:

• What life and insecurity felt like in her 20s

• Starting binge eating at 16 despite a privileged upbringing

• How pressure, perfectionism, and unspoken emotions fueled the cycle

• Why the real issue is rarely about food

• Learning to allow and manage emotions instead of stuffing them down

• What she would tell her 20-something self

If you’re a young woman struggling with body image, emotional eating, or the pressure to be perfect, this episode will help you feel seen and offer a clearer path forward.
