If you've ever ended the night face-first in a pint of ice cream thinking, "I just need more willpower," this episode is a must-listen.

In today's episode of the Outsmart Overeating podcast, Coach Steph and I dismantle the myth that self-control is your missing ingredient. Spoiler: You don't have a willpower problem. You have a thinking problem—and it's not your fault.

We'll show you:

• Why willpower works in short bursts but always fails long term

• How decision fatigue is silently sabotaging your food choices

• The surprising reason your most disciplined efforts are making you feel more out of control

• Why emotional needs—not food—are the real root of overeating

• And how changing your inner psychology creates lasting change without food rules or obsession

We're pulling back the curtain on the real drivers behind compulsive eating—like perfectionism, scarcity thinking, and deeply rooted beliefs around weight and worth—and showing you how to break the cycle for good.

If you're tired of being stuck in the binge-restrict loop, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and most importantly—equipped with actionable insights you can use today.

👀 Curious? You should be. 🎧 Hit play now—because eating shouldn't feel this hard.
