Sure, food choices matter. But for most people who are stuck, struggling, or self-sabotaging… food isn’t the real issue. It’s the deeper stuff. The emotional eating, the decision fatigue, the all-or-nothing mindset, the chaos of the weekend that undoes everything you did during the week.
In this episode, I’ll break down what’s really going on beneath the surface, and why another overnight oats recipe or meal plan isn’t going to change your life.
