Description

Have you ever felt like your emotions were just too much—too big, too heavy, too uncomfortable to sit with—so you ended up reaching for food instead of facing them?


And somehow you find yourself elbow-deep in a bag of chips or three scoops into the ice cream carton before you even realize what you're feeling? Like something was bugging you… but you couldn't name it. You just knew you needed to eat something to make it go away?


Why does it feel so scary to feel your feelings… and what would actually happen if you stopped trying to fix or stuff them?


In today’s episode, we’ll cover:



  • Why emotional discomfort makes us run (straight into the snack drawer)

  • Why feelings feel scary (especially when weight loss is your goal

  • How pushing feelings away with food doesn’t protect you—it traps you

  • How to safely sit with big feelings without getting overwhelmed 

  • A step-by-step tool to help you feel instead of fix. (I promise it’s not scary, doesn’t delve up your past, and it takes less than 2 minutes.)





So if you're ready to stop stuffing, start listening, and surf the waves of emotion without wiping out, then let’s go!
