We are officially heading into our Super Bowl. Halloween candy is still in the pantry, Thanksgiving is three weeks out, and your brain is already whispering "what's the point, I'll just start over in January."

This episode is your game plan.

I'm back after a long break (recording in a closet with three kids is no joke), and I couldn't think of a better episode to come back with. The stretch from Halloween to New Year's is eight to ten weeks of nonstop food, parties, and "I'll be good tomorrow." For years, I'd gain 15 to 20 pounds during this season and barely recognize myself in my New Year's Eve photos.

So I'm breaking down exactly why this season is so hard when you struggle with binge eating, overeating, and food obsession, plus the mindset shifts and tips I teach my members to get through the holidays binge free. No food rules. No starting over Monday. Just a way to be normal around food, even when there's food everywhere.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the holidays feel like a Super Bowl for anyone who struggles with food (and why January is a fake finish line)
• The "saving up" trap that sets you up to lose control at the party
• The one rule I actually want you to follow, and why breaking it starts the binge
• What your binge brain hears when you say "I'll start over tomorrow"
• The three emotions that drive binge eating more than hunger ever does
• A 10-second practice to calm the guilt mid-bite
• Why perfectionists and type A women struggle the most this time of year
• The question to ask yourself before every dinner, party, and work lunch

What can you expect from this podcast & future episodes?

• Bite-size episodes that are binge-able (no pun intended)!
• Tips to help you stop binging & overeating
• A friendly face, hint of sarcasm & touch of tough love to help you be normal around food.

Your friend who binges probably isn't binging where you can see her - and she most likely looks 'healthy' on the outside. Why? Because this stuff is driven by shame, guilt and self-judgement that causes us to hide. I'm calling out the sneaky, secretive stuff nobody talks about, because shame lives in the dark, and it's time we drag it into the light.

What You'll Learn:

• Why you (or your friend) make special trips to separate grocery stores or fast food spots for binge foods, and what that secrecy is really protecting
• Why obsessively logging every bite in an app can actually be driving your binging, not preventing it
• Why your camera roll is full of "before" photos and zero "afters," and what that says about perfectionism
• How joking about your eating habits works as a shield, and why it's the same defense mechanism people use after being bullied
• What a "binge buddy" friendship looks like, and why misery loving company keeps you both stuck
• The exact challenge I want you to try this week to strip the shame out of eating "bad" foods

I did something so dumb five days before a nine hour family road trip that I almost didn't tell you about it. But then I realized it's the exact same thing you do every time you binge, so here we are. Buckle up (pun intended).

What You'll Learn

• The (borderline embarrassing) story of how I backed my car into the garage with the doors open, five days before a family road trip
• Why my husband's two-word response fixed my mood faster than any amount of venting could
• The exact phrase to say to yourself the second you catch yourself spiraling over a mistake, a binge, or anything you can't undo
• The real reason "non acceptance" (not the mistake itself) is what makes you suffer
• How the exact same mental trap that had me short with my husband and kids over a garage door is the one keeping you stuck in food guilt

What can you expect from this podcast & future episodes?

• Bite-size episodes that are binge-able (no pun intended)!
• Tips to help you stop binging & overeating
