Too Much on Her Plate with Dr. Melissa McCreery: Emotional Eating Help for Smart, High-Achieving Women

115: Why You Might Feel Alone with Overeating Challenges - High-Achiever Traps

Melissa McCreery Episode 115

There’s a mindset trap that we don’t talk about enough that keeps smart women overeating. This episode is about how high-achieving women get stuck in thoughts and beliefs that isolate them or prevent them from asking for help. Not asking help can lead to overwhelm and increased Hidden Hungers (which lead to more overeating). 

In this episode:

  • Beliefs and common thoughts that lead to isolation (which keeps women overeating)
  • Four reasons you may not be getting the help and support you need to stop overeating or emotional eating
  • The key to dissolving shame
  • A strategy for when you don’t know what kind of help to ask for
  • The benefits of support, help, and connection
