Delay the Binge™ Podcast - The Moment Before the Reaction
Delay the Binge™ Podcast explores the moment before the reaction.
Season 2 marks the evolution of the show from The Plus One Theory™ Podcast into a deeper conversation about habits, burnout, behavioral patterns, and the hidden exhaustion behind them — what we call Quiet Depletion™.
This podcast is not about willpower or shame.
It is about learning to pause between urge and action.
Because the binge is rarely just about food.
It can look like:
• Overworking
• Overspending
• Emotional reacting
• People-pleasing
• Numbing behaviors
• Repeating patterns you thought you’d outgrown
Through candid solo reflections, lived-experience conversations, and grounded expert discussions, the show unpacks:
• Quiet Depletion™ — the exhaustion beneath the exhaustion
• The Purposeful Pause — a nervous system & decision tool
• Why willpower fails & pressure backfires
• Identity shifts & behavioral patterns
• Sustainable, small shifts for real, imperfect lives
You’ll hear conversations with psychologists, physicians, authors, and leaders alongside deeply honest personal episodes about change, resilience, burnout, habits, and emotional awareness.
If you’ve ever:
• Felt stuck in cycles you “should” have outgrown
• Felt tired of starting over
• Looked fine on the outside but felt quietly depleted underneath
This space offers a calmer, wiser path forward.
Your past does not define you; it prepares you.
One pause at a time.
