Ruari said, "We have some moments that happen to us. We feel some emotions and then we're taught to pack down those emotions down. And those packed-down emotions are toxic, stay inside us, and cause all sorts of things. They cause addiction. They cause mental health issues. They cause illness and disease."

This is an excerpt from a letter I'm sharing in this special bonus episode on Stress, Emotions, and Addiction.

I'm not going to lie to you...this episode is a little different than the episodes you're used to getting from me. But it's an important one that I KNOW is worth sharing.

Here is my truth...

I work in weight loss.

I work with women who overeat, women who overdrink, and women who overspend.

I work with women who feel incomplete, who don't get everything done, or who feel like they're not living up to a certain standard.

I get it.

And although I'm not an expert in addiction, I think we'd all agree that in this day and age, we are all kind of addicted.

We live in an age of constant gratification that 100% can fuel addiction.

We’re addicted to our phones and iPads, scrolling through TikTok and Instagram reels, the computer, the TV, and online shopping.

We live in an Amazon Prime world where we can get anything we want immediately.

We never have to wait. We never have to think about it. We can just push a button and get it.

This constant access and instant gratification can numb us to our real emotions.

The stress, the sadness, the loneliness – they all get packed down and hidden under the surface.

But those emotions don’t disappear.

They fester and grow, leading to habits and addictions that can be destructive.

I want to acknowledge that this is hard.

It’s hard to break free from these patterns, but it’s not impossible.

In this special episode, I share my insights on stress, emotions, and addiction. I hope it resonates with you and helps you understand that you’re not alone in this journey.

Let's start unpacking those emotions together and find healthier ways to cope.
