But there's only growth after this relationship ends.
Imagine battling with overeating for years, only to discover a path that leads to a complete transformation. That’s the story of Rouba Chalabi. In this episode of 'Recovery Survey', Rouba shares her journey from struggling with food addiction to becoming a healer and food addiction counselor. She left a 20-year career in public policy to help others break free from their obsession with food.
Rouba's approach involves cutting out sugar and flour, focusing on self-care, and recognizing that addiction often masks deeper issues. Rouba opens up about how she used food to cope with life and disconnect from her body. She emphasizes that true growth starts when the cycle of addiction ends. Through her online practice, she guides overeaters to fix their relationship with food first, then address the underlying emotional struggles.
Her diet is rich in fiber and as natural as possible, and she even packs her own meals to maintain her routine. One of the most powerful aspects of Rouba’s story is her focus on self-care. She talks about the importance of saying 'no' when needed and accepting one’s imperfections. By connecting with the wounded parts of herself, she found a way to heal and transform. Rouba’s insights offer hope and practical advice for anyone dealing with similar struggles.
As the episode wraps up, Rouba leaves listeners with a thought-provoking quote by Gibran Khalil: 'And God asked me to make peace with my enemy'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration and practical tips for overcoming food addiction.
