Emotional eating, limited bandwidth, and the tools that actually help

What if your eating struggles aren’t a willpower problem, but a capacity problem?

In this episode, I share the real reasons emotional eating gets worse when your bandwidth is gone, and why pushing harder doesn’t work. You’ll learn:

  • Why autopilot overeating happens (especially at night)
  • What to do instead of starting another “plan”
  • Tools that work when your capacity is low
  • How to stop spiraling when things don’t go perfectly

This episode introduces the Peace with Food program - a flexible, 30-day toolbox to help you feel calmer and more in control around food and break emotional eating and overeating habits.
