If you’ve ever found yourself eating on autopilot, not tasting your food, or wondering how you got from “just a bite” to the bottom of the bag, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. What’s likely happening is something I see all the time - you’re simply not with yourself in those moments. And when you’re not present, something else takes over.

Here’s what I’m covering in this episode:

  • Why checking out is so common - and how it fuels overeating
  • The real cost of disconnection from yourself (and why it’s not neutral)
  • What changes when you start noticing and tuning into your own experience
  • How you can start practicing this shift - even if it’s messy, imperfect, or brand new
