If you feel out of control around food, like you just can’t stop eating when emotions hit—this episode is your wake-up call. Emotional eating has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with what you’re trying not to feel.

In this soul-shaking episode, I break down the real reason you keep turning to food for comfort—hint: it’s not about the snacks, it’s about the emotional pain your subconscious is protecting you from.

We’ll explore:

Why emotional eating is a survival response, not a character flaw

How childhood emotional suppression and trauma create food coping habits

The hidden cost of numbing your emotions

What it actually takes to break the binge cycle and feel free in your body

A powerful reframe to start healing your relationship with food—for good

This episode is direct, honest, and designed to call you back to your power. If you’re ready to ditch emotional eating and finally feel peace with food and yourself—press play.
