Why do we always reach for food, wine, or our phones the minute we feel stressed or overwhelmed? And more importantly — how do we stop?
In this episode, we’re talking about “the pause” — the powerful moment between urge and action — and how it can change everything when it comes to emotional eating, drinking, scrolling, or any other habit that’s keeping you stuck in a cycle.
This episode is for you if:
· You want to lose weight or feel better in your body
· You’re stuck in patterns of late-night snacking, wine-as-reward, or doomscrolling
· You feel like you know what to do, but you keep sabotaging yourself in the moment
· You’re craving a new way to cope that doesn’t wreck your goals
· What the “I’m about to…” moment is — and how to catch it before the habit takes over
· The Pause & Choice Method: a simple framework to interrupt emotional autopilot
· How to tell the difference between comforting yourself and abandoning yourself
· Why self-soothing isn’t the problem — unconscious numbing is
· The 5-Minute Rule to reduce cravings and respond with intention
· How to validate your emotions without turning them into a binge
· A mindset shift that helps you self-regulate instead of self-sabotage
If you’ve ever said, “Why do I always do this to myself?” — this episode will help you pause long enough to finally choose differently.
