Healing Emotional Eating Without Diet Rules

The more food rules you follow, the more you want to break them. Sound familiar?

In this episode, Nikki T dives deep into why emotional eating isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a powerful signal from your body that something deeper is going on. If you’ve spent years stuck in the cycle of restriction, rebellion, and guilt, this conversation will show you a completely new way forward.

Discover how to:

  • Understand the real reason emotional eating shows up (it’s not what you think)
  • Recognize the difference between physical and emotional hunger
  • Connect with your inner child and uncover what you’re truly craving
  • Rebuild self-trust so food loses its power over you—without counting, logging, or restricting
  • Find lasting alignment with your body after 40, even as hormones shift

This episode isn’t about another diet or set of rules—it’s about freedom, trust, and learning to enjoy food (and yourself) again.

Whether you’re tired of emotional eating, exhausted from dieting, or ready to feel at peace with food, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why diet rules backfire and create cravings
  • A simple question to ask yourself before every snack or meal
  • Three steps to build self-trust around food
  • How to listen to your body’s wisdom after 40
