EP 96 | Secret Eating, Stress Eating & Mental Health: Why You’re Not Broken (And How to Heal Without Shame)
Description
This episode is for the woman who’s ever eaten in secret, who finds herself unraveling at night, who feels shame around food habits she’s never said out loud.
You’re not broken. You’re human.
In this raw, real episode of The Mindfulness & Matcha Podcast, Kate opens up about her personal struggles with emotional and secret eating, how mental health impacts food patterns, and how you can begin healing—without extremes or shame.
We cover:
The neuroscience of stress eating & dopamine
How hormone imbalances (esp. in midlife) increase emotional cravings
Night eating syndrome, restriction/rebound cycles & secret habits
What to do when you “mess up” (and how to get back on track with grace)
Practical tools, mindset shifts, and food strategies that work in real life
You’ll leave this episode with tangible ways to build self-trust, heal your relationship with food, and move forward—even if you’ve struggled for years.
