When the house finally quiets and the freezer starts whispering promises it can’t keep, we know that moment well. After a long day of decisions, kindness, and pressure, late-night eating can feel less like rebellion and more like protest—a longing for rest, agency, comfort, and voice. In this episode, we talk honestly about “protest eating,” tracing how decision fatigue and performance culture push deeper needs underground until the night gives them room to speak.
Rather than shaming the cycle, we explore how scripture makes space for honest protest and exhaustion—Jonah’s sulk, Elijah’s weariness, the psalmist’s cries, and Peter’s denial met not with correction but with breakfast on the beach. We share practical ways to care for after-dark cravings, including gentle check-ins to name the real need, soothing rituals for the nervous system, and boundaries that honor hunger without numbing it. This is an invitation to choose peace over performance, presence over willpower, and community over isolation—especially when the night feels loud.
Class starts December 10th
