  In today’s episode, I’m talking with Krista St-Germain, a grief coach who coaches Widowed Moms.   After the sudden loss of her husband, she tried to escape her emotions with food and other emotional escapes. She also felt confused about what her process of grieving looked like and what she thought it was supposed to look like. Like with most of us, she was only familiar with the 5 Stages of Grief and that just wasn’t something that resonated with her.   So now, she’s teaching her clients a different way. She’s helping them find their own, personal ways through grief and teaching them better ways to cope with emotions besides eating food and other escapes.   And today, she’s going to be sharing that with you.   I’m so excited to have her on the podcast, sharing her wisdom and knowledge. I’ve worked with many people who have experienced grief for various reasons and learning how to go through it without binge eating is extremely valuable.   So, I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation with Krista!     Interested in working with me?
