You walk in the door after work—not hungry, but somehow you end up in the fridge.

If this after-work grazing habit feels all too familiar, this episode is for you. I'm answering a listener’s question that gets to the heart of why we eat when we don’t really need food—and how to shift the pattern without relying on willpower or guilt.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why after-work snacking is rarely about hunger
  • What your body and brain are actually asking for in that moment
  • A simple, practical shift that can help you change the habit
