In this solo episode, Kim Hynes, emotional eating coach and midlife nutritional health coach, unpacks the first 5 of 10  common myths that keep smart, motivated women like you stuck in emotional eating cycles and struggling with food obsession and weight gain.

If you’re wondering what you’re missing, you will find it in this episode. From the pressure to be perfect to the belief that emotional eating should disappear with age.  These myths are what may be holding you back from being who you really want to be and feeling comfortable in your body.

Kim explains how menopause, stress, and life changes in your 40s, 50s, and 60s can amplify emotional eating, and she offers actionable mindset shifts to help you feel more in control, intentional, and free around food.

Whether you're dealing with late-night eating, restriction-binge cycles, or guilt around sugar and cravings, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and steps to start changing your relationship with food.
