If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of nighttime overeating or bingeing, this episode might help you direct your efforts at change in more effective directions. I’m not talking about willpower. I’m not shaming food (or hunger). I am talking about what your real needs might be in that moment, and how to stop solving the wrong problem.

You’ll learn:

  • Why nighttime eating becomes such a strong habit
  • The role of Hidden Hungers and what they’re trying to tell you
  • A powerful mindset shift that helps you step out of the cycle, and stop blaming yourself
