You know those moments where you're standing in the kitchen, not even hungry, just… eating?
You're not alone. And more importantly? There's nothing wrong with you.
In this short and powerful bonus episode, I'm sharing what's really behind the patterns of overeating so many midlife women struggle with, and why it's not about the food at all. We're talking about the invisible forces behind our choices, and the subtle ways we've been taught to use food to cope, distract, reward, and even just get through the day.
I'll tell you what happened the night I ordered way too much Indian food (on purpose), what it taught me about self-trust, and how even wearing a glucose monitor recently pulled me right back into old patterns.
If you've ever said, "I know better. Why can't I do better?" this episode will meet you with compassion, truth, and a new way forward.
In this episode, you'll hear:
Why diets don't solve overeating (and what does)
What overeating is actually trying to do for you
How to recognize the moment things start to spiral—and how to stop it with kindness instead of control
You'll walk away with a different lens on your relationship with food - and the first steps to building real peace with it.
