Bethany Mazereeuw in the Media: Podcasts and Interviews

Get to Know Me Better

As a therapist and coach specializing in food addiction, emotional eating, and body image, I have been fortunate to share my perspective on a number of podcasts and in interviews with leaders in the field. Each of these conversations reflects how I work and what I believe - feel free to listen or watch before reaching out.

Food Junkies - The Enneagram and Growth in Recovery

In this episode of the Food Junkies Podcast, I introduce the Enneagram and explain how this nine-type personality framework can support personal growth and recovery from food addiction. I talk about how understanding your type can bring self-compassion to patterns that have felt impossible to change. 

Food Junkies - Finding a Food Addiction Professional

How do you find the right therapist or coach for food addiction? In this episode with Molly Painschab and Clarissa Kennedy, we walk through exactly what to look for - credentials, treatment styles, questions to ask, and how to know if someone is a good fit for you. 

Life After Sugar Podcast

I joined Netta Gorman on the Life After Sugar Podcast to share my story and talk about what it means to make peace with food as a goal - rather than chasing a number on a scale. A personal and honest conversation about recovery, body image, and finding a better way forward.

My Approach

Dr. Vera Tarman, a leading voice in food addiction medicine, interviewed me as part of her Food Addiction Frontlines series. I explain my approach as a food addiction therapist and coach, the modalities I use (including EMDR and IFS), and the difference between therapy and coaching for people struggling with food and eating. 

My Story

In this Sweet Sobriety conversation, I share my personal story of recovery from sugar addiction and disordered eating. Molly and I talk about what it means to be a "two-hatter" - someone who supports others through food addiction recovery while maintaining their own. 

Hope and Resilience

I was honoured to speak to a group of Sweet Sobriety participants about hope and resilience in recovery from food addiction. This recording captures what I believe is possible when we stop fighting ourselves and start working with who we actually are. 

Decluttering and Your Recovery

In this conversation with Cynthia Myers-Morrison from the Food Addiction Institute, I explore the surprising connection between physical clutter and our mental and emotional lives - and what decluttering can do for recovery and overall wellbeing.
