In this powerful, compassionate, deeply practical episode, Erin takes you into a full biblical + physiological deep dive on cortisol, stress, cravings, sleep, emotional eating, and stubborn weight that just won’t budge — no matter how “disciplined” you are.

Most women believe their weight struggles are a willpower issue.
But what if your overeating, cravings, binges, nighttime snacking, and exhaustion aren’t moral failures…
 but your body living in chronic stress mode?

Inside today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• what cortisol actually is (and why it’s not the villain you’ve been told it is)
• how chronic stress reshapes your cravings, hunger hormones, and metabolism
• why your sleep has shifted — and how that change fuels weight gain
• how ultra-processed foods hijack your physiology
• why “consistency” feels impossible when your nervous system is overwhelmed
• what Scripture teaches about stress, rest, rhythms, and your physical body
• the powerful lesson of King Ahaz — and how stress leads us to grasp for the wrong solutions
• five evidence-based, gentle, doable practices that restore your metabolism from the inside out

You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of your own biology through the lens of compassion, not condemnation — and you’ll finally see your body the way God designed it: wise, protective, and responsive.

If you're tired of feeling stuck, ashamed, or confused about your cravings or your weight, this episode will feel like a breath of relief, clarity, and renewal.

This is your invitation to stop fighting your body — and start listening to it.
Because healing begins where stress ends.
And God meets you right there.
