Show Notes
Struggling with the binge–burn cycle or all-or-nothing thinking around food and fitness?
In this episode, Lauren Brunetti sits down with Erie-based mental performance coach and CrossFit coach Becca Pierce, founder of Eyes Up Head High, for a refreshing conversation about breaking the binge–burn cycle and building a healthier, more sustainable relationship with food and movement.
With a Master’s in sport and exercise psychology, Becca helps individuals move away from restrictive, all-or-nothing thinking and toward more flexible, supportive patterns that actually last.
She also works with athletes who feel mentally stuck, using tools like visualization, mindfulness, and self-talk to build confidence and improve performance.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle with food or exercise, this conversation offers a more supportive and realistic path forward.
In this episode, we cover:
- What the binge–burn cycle is and why it’s so common
- Why your value isn’t tied to your body—and how to expand your identity beyond appearance
- How restriction and all-or-nothing thinking impact performance and confidence
- Why mindset plays a key role in long-term success
- The importance of awareness as the first step to change
- A simple values-based exercise to uncover what truly matters
- How modeling healthy self-talk can shape the next generation
