I have the honor of welcoming back Dr. Stephanie Lopez, former NASA psychologist to the Food Freedom Society Podcast. We are unpacking the emotional root causes of binge eating, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and control. If you’ve ever felt like you're spiraling from “just one cookie,” or that you constantly need to have everything figured out, this episode will speak directly to your soul.

Dr. Steph shares how trying to control everything in life (including food) is often a protective mechanism rooted in anxiety, fear, and insecurity. We are exploring how intrusive thoughts, mom guilt and the all or nothing mentality show up in our daily life - and talk about how to break free. 

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

• The hidden payoffs of self-sabotage (yes, they exist!)
• Why perfectionism and people-pleasing are just masks for deeper fears
• The emotional roots of control and how to start releasing it
• The three core insecurities that fuel all-or-nothing thinking

What can you expect from this podcast & future episodes?

• Bite-size episodes that are binge-able (no pun intended)!
• Tips to help you stop binging & overeating
• A friendly face, hint of sarcasm & touch of tough love to help you be normal around food.
