2026-10-0122:09

You held the boundary. You protected the walk, the appointment, or the time you needed. Someone may have been disappointed—and now you still feel guilty. When changing the boundary is no longer the route to relief, your brain may offer another familiar option: food. In this episode, Dr. Stacy Heimburger explains why emotional eating can be less about hunger and more about wanting to change an uncomfortable internal state. She connects guilt, anxiety, resentment, and restlessness to the urge t...

153. Why Saying Yes Can Feel So Bad

2026-09-2427:26

You finally say no, protect the time you set aside for yourself, or try to honor a boundary—and then the discomfort hits. In this episode, Dr. Stacy explains why changing that “no” to a “yes” can create immediate relief, why that relief can trick us into thinking we made the right decision, and how the discomfort we avoid now may simply return later as disappointment in ourselves or resentment. The goal isn’t to become someone who always says no or perfectly follows her calendar. It’s to lear...

In this episode of Weight Loss Made Simple, Dr. Stacy explores the difference between feeling guilty and actually being guilty of doing something wrong. When you're accustomed to responding to ev...

150. The Good Girl Trap

2026-09-0322:01

Have you ever reached the end of the day wondering where all your time went? Maybe it isn't because you're bad at time management. Maybe it's because you've become incredibly good at saying yes. In this episode, Dr. Stacy explores how years of "good girl" conditioning teach many women to become the dependable one—the volunteer, the organizer, the helper, the person everyone can count on. While those qualities are admirable, they often come with an unseen cost. Every automatic yes creates an i...
