In this episode, we're diving into a powerful topic: how to manage your emotions and how this ties directly into emotional eating. If you’ve ever found yourself reaching for food when you're stressed, anxious, or sad, this episode is for you. We explore what emotions truly are—simply physical sensations in the body—and how resisting or avoiding them often leads to emotional eating.

You'll learn about the three common ways we deal with emotions: resisting, avoiding, and allowing. We discuss why resisting or avoiding emotions can intensify the feelings and lead to more stress, guilt, and emotional eating. On the flip side, we talk about how allowing yourself to experience emotions—like waves passing through—can lead to healthier, more mindful habits around food.

We also share practical steps to help you begin allowing emotions, such as naming the emotion, feeling it fully, and staying present in the moment. Tune in for actionable insights on how to break free from emotional eating and start building emotional resilience.

Key Takeaway: Emotions are just temporary sensations. By learning to allow and fully experience them, you can break the cycle of emotional eating and create a healthier, more empowered relationship with food.
