  • Why Perfectionism Triggers the Binge–Restrict Cycle (Even When You’re Disciplined All Day)
    Jan 20 2026

    You can be perfect all day... eating “right,” skipping snacks, controlling every bite... and then suddenly, food feels completely out of control.

    If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen at night, eating things you didn’t even want and feeling shame hit right after, this episode is for you.

    I break down how perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking quietly drive the binge–restrict cycle, what your brain is actually doing, and why being disciplined alone hasn’t worked.

    You’ll learn how to finally feel in control, satisfied, and at peace with food, without dieting, guilt, or constant willpower battles.

    Plus, I share how my Eat With Intention 1:1 coaching program helps high-achieving women, especially in healthcare and demanding careers, stop the cycle, release food shame, and build a healthy, lasting relationship with food.

  • The Truth About Post-Holiday Weight Gain
    Jan 13 2026

    You finally make it through the holidays… and then you step on the scale.

    The number is higher, and the familiar thoughts rush in: Why does this happen every year? Why can’t I control myself around food?

    In this episode of Eating Habits for Life, I talk about the truth of why post-holiday weight gain happens and why it has nothing to do with willpower or self-control.

    In this episode, I share:

    1. Why post-holiday weight gain feels so discouraging (and why it’s not your fault)
    2. How emotions and thoughts drive overeating and habit loops
    3. Why weight loss is still possible, even if you’ve been stuck for a long time
    4. What it actually looks like to change eating habits without dieting or restriction

    If you’re tired of starting over after every holiday or vacation, and you want weight loss that feels supportive instead of punishing, this episode will give you clarity, relief, and a grounded way forward.

    I also share how I work one-on-one with clients inside Eat with Intention to build lifelong skills around eating, weight loss, and peace with food.

  • Why You Reach for Sweets With Your Coffee (And How to Break the Habit)
    Jan 6 2026

    Do you always reach for something sweet with your coffee, even when you don’t want to? A cookie, pastry, or chocolate bar that feels automatic, followed by frustration and the thought, “Why do I always do this?”

    In this episode of the Eating Habits for Life podcast, I'm unpacking why craving sweets with your coffee has nothing to do with willpower or self-control, and what’s actually driving this habit.

    You’ll learn how emotions, habit loops, and unhelpful thoughts fuel sugar cravings, emotional eating, and mindless snacking, especially during busy mornings or work breaks.

    If you’re trying to lose weight, eat healthier, or feel more in control around food (without restriction or dieting), this episode will show you how to break the coffee-and-sweets habit at the root. So weight loss feels easier and more sustainable.
