You don’t have to feel stressed for your body to be under stress.

In this episode, I talk about what happens when the day ends, when no one needs anything from you anymore and your body finally realizes it can exhale.

That moment matters more than most people realize.

Because for many women, that’s exactly when overeating shows up.

If this pattern feels familiar, listen to the full episode.

Overeating feels impulsive.
Like it just happens.
But it doesn’t.

In this episode, I talk about why overeating shows up in very specific emotional moments where your body is trying to solve something that has nothing to do with food.

When you start seeing when it happens, the behavior stops feeling like a character flaw and starts making a lot more sense.
If this feels familiar, listen to the full episode.

One of the biggest misunderstandings about overeating is that it’s impulsive.

Random.
Out of control.

What I see over and over again is something very different.
Overeating shows up in specific moments, often when the day ends, the demands stop, and
there’s finally space to feel what’s been held.

Even if you don’t consciously feel stressed, managing yourself all day has a cost. Your body experiences containment as pressure. And when that pressure lifts, eating becomes the fastest way to come down.

In this week’s episode of Emotional Eating Unwrapped, I talk about why overeating isn’t a discipline issue, why hunger can feel louder when you loosen control, and why eating alone is often about safety and autonomy, not rebellion.

Understanding this doesn’t just change how you eat.

It changes how you interpret yourself in moments that used to feel confusing.

Not all hunger is about food.
Sometimes it’s about relief after a long day of holding everything together.

In this episode, I talk about emotional hunger, the kind that shows up at night and why food becomes the fastest way to come down when you’ve been carrying too much.

This isn’t about avoiding food.
It’s about understanding what that moment is really asking for.

If that feels familiar, listen to the full episode.

When hunger suddenly feels louder, it’s easy to assume something is wrong.
More often, it’s a sign that communication is coming back online.

In this episode, I explain why hunger can intensify when you stop controlling it and why that phase feels so unsettling for women who are used to holding it together.

This isn’t regression.
It’s reconnection.

If that feels familiar, listen to the full episode.

Hunger changing week to week doesn’t mean you’re losing control.
More often, it means your body is responding to your life.

In this episode, I talk about why appetite shifts aren’t a discipline issue and why so many women immediately personalize them as failure.

This isn’t about managing hunger better.

It’s about stopping the panic that comes when your body does something different.
If that feels familiar, listen to the full episode.

Most of the women I work with don’t struggle with food all day.
They handle things.
They’re productive.
They’re composed.

And then night comes.

The house gets quiet.
The expectations fall away.
And food starts to feel louder.

That pattern isn’t random and it isn’t a lack of willpower.

In this episode, I talk about why nighttime eating has very little to do with hunger and everything to do with what finally has room to surface when the day ends.

If food feels hardest when things slow down, the full episode will make a lot of sense to you.

One of the most painful things I hear from women is:
“I know better, so why do I still do this?”

That question carries so much unnecessary shame.

Because knowing what to do doesn’t change behavior.
It never has.

In this episode, I explain why information lives in a different part of the brain than behavior and why so many capable, intelligent women keep blaming themselves for something that was never about knowledge in the first place.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated with yourself for “not using what you know,” listen to the full conversation.

Guilt after overeating doesn’t mean you did something wrong.

More often, it means you expect a lot from yourself.

In this episode, I talk about why guilt shows up so quickly for high-achieving women and how that emotion quietly keeps the cycle going long after the food is gone.

This isn’t about getting rid of guilt.
It’s about understanding what it’s really pointing to.

If that feels familiar, listen to the full episode.

There’s a fear so many women carry around food,
that quiet “I’m probably doing this wrong” that follows you from diet to diet.

In this week’s episode, I talk about how diets actually make the noise louder…
how medication can take the edge off…
and why neither one teaches your body what calm feels like in real time.

Because the noise isn’t trying to ruin your progress.
It’s trying to protect something you haven’t met yet.

Food noise doesn’t show up because you’re hungry.
It shows up because your brain is still clocked in, alert, guarding, unable to soften.

In this week’s episode, I explain why food thoughts steal presence before the day even begins…
and why GLP-1s can quiet the noise, even when the root cause is still untouched.

Because food noise isn’t about willpower or appetite.
It’s your alert system trying to keep you safe.

12/26/2025

Food noise isn’t just a distraction, it’s a memory.
The echo of every moment you had to hold something too big, too fast, too alone.

In this week’s episode, I talk about how food noise forms in the first place…
and why naming it can feel like turning a light switch on inside your body.

Not to control yourself.
But to finally understand what the noise has been working so hard to manage for you.
