Episode 251: The smarter way to deal with cravings


Listen Later

Ever tell yourself “I’ll just have one”… and then wonder how the whole bag disappeared?

Or swing the other way — “Nope, I can’t have that, I’ll go off the rails” — and still end up thinking about it all day?

This episode is about the middle skill that almost no one teaches: the ability to not decide right away.

When you stop reacting to every craving — whether it’s with “screw it” or “I shouldn’t” — you create space to actually learn what’s going on.

 And that changes everything.

💡 Inside this episode:

  • How to handle “trigger foods” without cutting them out
  • What happens when you delay a craving instead of fighting it
  • Why not deciding might be the most powerful decision you make
  • Real stories from clients (and me) about learning to ride the craving wave

Perfect timing as we roll into the holidays — this one’s about building calm and clarity around food, even when there’s candy, cookies, and chaos everywhere.
