Stress is an everyday struggle for most of us in Western society. We turn to many unhealthy things to cope which often lead to health struggles and weight gain. It actually makes the problem worse! However, stress eating does not have to be our reality any longer. I'm excited to have Katrina Sequenzia as my guest again today on the Taste for Truth Podcast. Katrina shares her personal struggles in this area as well as many practical tips to overcome the unhealthy coping mechanisms in our lives.

What We Discussed on the Podcast

• A personal struggle that had Katrina turning to another coping mechanism to get through
• The lie that we always tell ourselves in the midst of stressful times to justify our out-of-control eating
• Some of the biological reasons why we turn to food during times of stress
• Many practical (and healthy) ways to cope with difficult moments in our day-to-day lives
• What movement does for us with regard to stress
• Loads, limits, and creating margin

Announcements

I also wanted to mention that I will be tapering off and ultimately ending the Taste for Truth podcast sometime in the next 3-5 months. I will still be doing my Christian Habits Podcast, and all of the past Taste for Truth episodes will still be available! I'm just at a place in my life where I need to find a work-life balance that is sustainable, and going down to one podcast seems like a very helpful way to do that.

I am also planning to give online course creation a try. If you are interested in staying informed about that, click here.
