Episode 251: The smarter way to deal with cravings
Description
Ever tell yourself “I’ll just have one”… and then wonder how the whole bag disappeared?
Or swing the other way — “Nope, I can’t have that, I’ll go off the rails” — and still end up thinking about it all day?
This episode is about the middle skill that almost no one teaches: the ability to not decide right away.
When you stop reacting to every craving — whether it’s with “screw it” or “I shouldn’t” — you create space to actually learn what’s going on.
And that changes everything.
💡 Inside this episode:
- How to handle “trigger foods” without cutting them out
- What happens when you delay a craving instead of fighting it
- Why not deciding might be the most powerful decision you make
- Real stories from clients (and me) about learning to ride the craving wave
Perfect timing as we roll into the holidays — this one’s about building calm and clarity around food, even when there’s candy, cookies, and chaos everywhere.
