The world feels heavier these days. The news is relentless, stress is high, and your brain is doing everything it can to create a sense of safety. But here’s what no one tells you—your emotional eating has nothing to do with food. It’s not about willpower, discipline, or trying harder.
It’s about self-sabotage as self-protection.
When you don’t know how to process your emotions, your brain looks for the quickest way to escape discomfort. Food. Alcohol. Scrolling. Work. It’s not a lack of control; it’s a survival instinct. But if you don’t address this at the source, you’ll find yourself in the same cycle over and over again.
In the final episode of the Self-Sabotage Series, we’re breaking it all down:
- Why your brain clings to old habits, even when you’re determined to change
- How the 24/7 news cycle makes you more vulnerable to emotional eating
- A simple, strategic plan to help you break free for good
This is the conversation that changes everything.
Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:- The real reason you keep sabotaging your weight loss goals (and why it has nothing to do with discipline)
- Why emotional eating is a coping mechanism, not a personal failure
- How constant global uncertainty fuels stress-driven habits
- The three-step plan to stop reacting to stress with food
- The one skill you must master to take back control of your body and mind
It’s time to step into something different. If you’re ready, let’s begin.
