Guidance from clinicians who focus on food addiction recovery

Sweet Sobriety was co-founded by Clarissa Kennedy and Molly Painschab, clinicians who also help lead the Food Junkies Podcast and focus their work on food addiction recovery, behavior change, and compassionate support.

RSW, BComm

Recovery gets steadier when you pair self-compassion with structure. The goal is not more shame around food. It is a practical plan you can return to when cravings get loud.

Clarissa is a clinical social worker whose approach draws from CBT, mindfulness-based interventions, DBT-informed eating-disorder work, motivational interviewing, and somatically informed self-compassion.

When ultra-processed foods feel louder than your intentions, the next step should be concrete and usable. Small moments of awareness and follow-through add up.

Molly is a dual-licensed mental health and addiction counselor who uses a solution-focused, forward-moving style shaped by years of addiction treatment work.

Sweet Sobriety + Neurture FAQs

What is Neurture for if I am already working with Sweet Sobriety?+

Neurture is the between-session layer. Use it to slow down cravings, track food noise, and reflect on lapses between coaching calls, groups, and workshops.

It is not a replacement for Sweet Sobriety coaching or therapy. It is a private support tool you can open in real time.

Can Neurture help with food addiction, emotional eating, and binge or urge cycles?+

That is the fit this page is aiming at. Neurture is useful for high-friction moments around food addiction recovery, emotional eating, stress eating, food noise, and recurring binge or urge patterns.

It does not diagnose, treat, or cure eating disorders or medical conditions.

What kinds of tools are inside the app?+

Neurture includes urge surfing, guided breathing, grounding, consequence analysis, thought-challenging, structured reflection, and journaling.

The point is not just tracking. It is having something concrete to do when cravings, spirals, or shame-heavy moments show up.

Is my information private?+

Yes. Sensitive entries like reflections, check-ins, and journal content stay encrypted and stored locally on your device.

Sweet Sobriety does not get access to your private app content just because you installed through this page.

Does this replace therapy, medical care, or crisis support?+

No. Neurture is a self-guided support tool. It is not therapy, medical treatment, or crisis care.

If you are dealing with severe eating-disorder symptoms, a medical emergency, or acute mental health risk, use clinical or emergency support instead.

How do I install Neurture through Sweet Sobriety?+

Use the install buttons or the QR code on this page.
