You know how it goes...
You’re eating well, staying on track, and then — boom — that afternoon slump hits.
Chocolate starts calling your name, and suddenly you’re knee-deep in biscuits, wondering what happened.

But here’s the truth: It's not your willpower.
Cravings don’t mean you’re weak or failing — they’re a signal, and in today’s episode, I’m helping you decode what they’re really telling you.
