Description

You’re not eating because you’ve got no willpower. You’re eating because your body doesn’t feel safe.


In this eye-opening episode of The Unique World Podcast, we explore how dysregulation — not discipline — is what drives bingeing, overwhelm, and “falling off track.”


Inside this episode:

  • The real reason you “lose control” at night

  • What fight, flight, freeze and fawn have to do with food

  • Client stories from Claire and Nicola who thought they lacked discipline — until they understood trauma

  • Tools to regulate before you restrict, and anchor before you act


✨ If you keep thinking “I know what to do, I just don’t do it” — this episode is for you.
✨ If you’re ready to stop fighting your biology and start working with it — tune in.
