One of the questions I get asked a lot is, how do I not eat my feelings?
When my clients come to me and say they are struggling with emotional eating, they usually mean that they are eating for reasons other than hunger. This might include eating when they are feeling sad, angry, stressed, lonely, happy or even excited - and this is because food can be a source of pleasure, connection, and yes, even comfort.
What we explore in this episode:
- The 5 types of emotional eating that exist on a continuum - Sensory Gratification/Pleasure, Comfort, Distraction, Sedation/Numbing, and Punishment
- Why so many of us turn to food as a coping strategy
- Why emotional eating isn’t always a bad thing
- Tools and strategies to support you to feel your feelings instead of using food to numb or cope.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
