Hustle culture, Emotional Eating & Nervous System Chaos -The Hidden Sabotage Blocking Your Success with Nikki Antonaccio
Why We Use Food to Measure Our Worth & How It Sabotages Our Success?
In this deeply transformative episode, I’m joined by Nikki Antonaccio -The Nutrition Psychology Coach specialising in women’s health, healing, hormones, and supporting high-performing women to succeed without burnout.
Nikki has helped over 500 women rewrite their health stories, reconnect with their bodies, and break the emotional patterns that have held them back for years.
This conversation is raw, revealing, and completely life-changing.
Nikki opens up about her own lived experience with disordered eating, external validation, and emotional battles - and how she transformed her inner work into a powerful business helping women step out of survival mode and into self-leadership.
Together, we dive into the truth behind:
✨ Why we use food as a way to measure our worth
(And why no other species on earth attaches emotion to food the way humans do.)
✨ How unprocessed emotions can lead to self-sabotage - even business sabotage!
When you don’t feel safe, seen, or enough, your body will act out the story you believe.
✨ The nervous system’s role in emotional eating and burnout
Your brain is always choosing safety over success.
And hustle? It’s actually a trauma response!
✨ The core beliefs driving emotional eating
“I’m not good enough.”
“I’m not important.”
“I’m not lovable.”
Nikki explains how these unconscious stories run our lives until we finally bring them into the light.
✨ Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry
How drilling down on your core narrative helps you understand the real reason you sabotage the things you want most.
✨ Why teaching your nervous system to PAUSE is the real power move
“The world will not blow up if you stop for 5 minutes.”
Your nervous system needs safety, not more hustle.
✨ How high-achieving women can still succeed -without burning out their bodies, hormones, or joy in the process
