Thursday, 29 January, 2026

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking“Why do I keep doing this when I KNOW it doesn’t help me?”…this episode is for you. In fact, you can stop reading and just hit play, but I’ll expand anywayYou can probably list out ALL the reasons you want to stop overeating or emotionally eating: the bloating, the physical discomfort, the guilt spiral, the feeling that food has way too much power over you. You’re tired of the “why did I do that again?” or “I’ll be better tomorrow” conversations in your headAND YETIt keeps happeningLate nights in the kitchen raiding the cupboards even when you’re not hungryMindless snacking after dinnerEating past fullness even when you genuinely wanted to stopAnd that’s because there’s a side of emotional eating that almost no one talks about and missing it is one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in cycles of overeating, guilt and self-blame In this conversation, we explore:why focusing only on the downsides of emotional eating often backfiresthe question that actually changed everything in my own relationship with food and got me binge-freeand the overlooked piece that turns emotional eating from something you fight… into something you can finally loosen your grip onThis isn’t about new food rules, restriction or taking comfort and pleasure from food awayAnd it’s not about shaming or “fixing” yourself eitherBut if you’ve been stuck in this pattern for years and nothing you’ve tried has truly worked…hit play nowAnd if you are ready for deeper support in transforming the way you think, feel and behave around food so you can find that happy middle with food you deep down trust yourself to sustain for LIFE without ANY more diet hopping, my support is waiting for you in 1:1 coachingAPPLY FOR COACHING NOW
