The Emotional Empowerment Audio Summit is coming — and my talk might change how you see stress eating
Dear Reader, I'm excited to share something with you — I've been invited to contribute to the Emotional Empowerment Audio Summit, a curated collection of talks from experts in boundaries, emotional wellness, mindfulness, and self-care. And it's completely free to access. My specific talk is called "It's Not About Willpower: How to Break the Stress-Eating Cycle by Understanding Your Nervous System" — and if you've ever found yourself standing in front of the fridge at 9pm, not really hungry...
READ POST{HMW} What If "I Can't Control Myself" Is Actually a Restriction Problem?
Dear Reader, What if the reason you can't stop thinking about certain foods has nothing to do with willpower or self-control — and everything to do with the fact that you've told yourself you can't have them? This is the permission paradox: restriction doesn't protect you from overeating. It's often what causes it. When a food is off-limits, your brain treats every opportunity to eat it like it might be the last. The urgency, the "I can't stop," the guilt spiral — that's not a you problem....
READ POST{HMW} Gentle Hunger vs. Urgent Hunger — Do You Know the Difference?
Dear Reader, Do you ever feel a low-grade panic the moment hunger shows up? Like it needs to be handled right now, before it gets worse? Most of us have been conditioned (by diet culture, by past restriction, by one too many hangry experiences) to treat hunger like an alarm that needs to be shut off immediately. But here's something worth sitting with: hunger is information, not necessarily an emergency. Your body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. And when you can start to tell the...
READ POST{HMW} When food lets you down (and what to do about it)
Dear Reader, Have you ever hyped up a meal in your head all day, finally sat down to eat it, and felt... nothing? Maybe it wasn't bad. It just wasn't that. And then you kept eating anyway, waiting for it to get better? You're not alone in that, and there's actually a reason it happens. Your brain builds an idealized version of food when you anticipate it — the smell, the taste, the satisfaction — and real food can rarely compete with the imagined version. Add in the fact that we often eat to...
READ POST{HMW} Why that first bite always tastes better than the last
Dear Reader, Remember that iconic Alka-Seltzer commercial? "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." Most of us have been there, eating past fullness, maybe even past pleasure, knowing exactly how we'll feel later but somehow unable to stop in the moment. There's actually a biological reason this happens. Your body has built-in mechanisms designed to help you know instinctively when to stop eating—but when we eat quickly or distractedly, we completely bypass them. Here are 5 reasons why eating...

READ POSTI Have 10 Journals Ready—Who Wants to Test One?
Dear Reader, 🌅 Help Me Launch The Eating Empowerment Journal I'm holding the first printed copies of The Eating Empowerment Journal in my hands, and I want to put them in the hands of 10 people before the official public launch in March.

It's a guided exploration to help you understand who you are as an eater—your patterns, your beliefs, where they came from, and why you do what you do...
