You told yourself you'd just have a little something after dinner. An hour later, you've demolished half a bag of chips, three cookies, and you don't even remember tasting any of it. Now you're sitting there thinking, "Why can't I just stop? What is wrong with me?"

Here's the truth: Nothing is wrong with you. Overeating isn't a character flaw or a sign that you lack willpower. It's just a pattern, and patterns can be changed.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own struggles with overeating and giving you the exact strategies I use to prevent it before it happens, stop it while it's happening, and most importantly, how to move forward after without spiraling into shame.

You'll learn the #1 thing to do BEFORE overeating happens, how to actually stop mid-overeat without finishing the whole bag "because you already started," what to do the next day after you've overeaten, and why identifying your overeating triggers is the key to breaking the cycle for good.

I'm sharing three vulnerable stories from my own life, including the times I'd eat half a bag of Doritos in my car after stressful workdays, the game nights where I'd graze while cooking and end up uncomfortably full, and the hardest one: standing at the pantry after putting my toddler to bed, trying to fill an emotional void with food.

If you've ever felt out of control around food, this episode is your permission slip to be kind to yourself and your roadmap to actually change the pattern.
