Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Today’s episode is all about healing binge eating in midlife with Internal Family Systems with Martha Ayim, MA.
Specifically, today’s interview is with someone who healed her nearly 35-year pattern of binge eating and knew she was meant to spend the rest of her life helping others do the same. In her late 40s, she left a full-time, pensioned government position to follow that passion.
Martha Ayim is a Certified Master Coach and Level 3 Internal Family Systems Practitioner. (IFS is an evidence-based, trauma-informed, empowering approach that harnesses a client’s intuitive wisdom to heal.)
She is also a program assistant for training offered through the IFS Institute and a consultant for IFS therapists, physicians, and other practitioners.
Most women who seek Martha’s support are successful in so many areas of their lives, but haven’t been able to heal their relationship with food; they often find themselves unable to control their eating, despite trying many approaches. Martha’s experience of the pain of this journey and the joy of recovery fuels her love for this work.
I know you’re going to get so much amazing insight and perspective from this episode about healing from binge eating!
