In this week’s episode of Emotional Eating Unwrapped, Alana is joined by longtime friend and guest Kristin McGee to explore the real emotional terrain behind self-doubt and how it can quietly sabotage our goals, wellness journeys, and sense of worth.

They revisit personal stories and career pivots to reveal how doubt isn’t a flaw, it’s a threshold; a signal that something deeper is asking to be seen.

From wellness fatigue to perfectionism, this conversation goes beyond motivation and into the deeper question: What if your next breakthrough isn’t about doing more, but staying with yourself when it’s hardest to believe you can?
