If you overate over the holiday I want you to know that

1. You are not alone.
2. There is nothing wrong with you.
3. I can help you end the cycle of overeating + guilt & shame = more overeating

The solution to overeating is NOT found in beating yourself up, restricting yourself, or trying to find more self-control or willpower. The solution lies in changing your I D E N T I T Y with food.

I noticed in my own life that as my level of responsibility increased-- career, kids, saving money, making adult decisions-- my level of pleasure decreased. And I'm not down for that. On this episode of The Life You Crave we do a deep dive on pleasure, REAL versus false pleasure, because this concept has been KEY in ending my own habit of overeating and has actually increased the level of pleasure I get in my life.

Pleasure is EVERYTHING when it comes to more joy and less overeating during the holidays. Tune in to learn how!

• Either I'll enjoy the holidays by indulging OR I'll be miserable and lose weight
• Either I get to have fun and eat all the things or I’ll unhappy
• Either I eat it all or I eat none of it 

We are very good at black and white, all or nothing thinking. What if it doesn’t have to be this way? I, along with my clients, have proven that there IS another way, a better way. And it might just surprise you.

Check out this week's podcast More Joy, Less Gain Over the Holidays and learn how you can get more of what you actually want and less of what you don't (overeating and weight gain) this holiday season.

If you've been listening to the Big Os series The Life You Crave Podcast this week you now know that the secret to ending the overwhem, over-obligation, and overeating is to first get really clear on what you WANT, and then go after it relentlessly. If you're anything like me, when we make the decision to start putting yourself first a lot of guilt, shame, and fear can come up in the process. 

• It would be selfish to put my wants first.
• Won't I become totally self-centered if I prioritize myself above all else?
• If I only do what I want to do, nothing will get done!

Join me in the last of the Big Os four-part series on The Life You Crave Podcast this week to learn how to move past that guilt and shame and become unapologetically YOU. And if you haven't gotten your free Big Os Audit Workbook, what are you waiting for? Together we can end overwhelm, over-obligation, and overeating for good.

I'm OK with you being disappointed in me. I'm not sorry if I don't meet your expectations. I used to be a big time people-pleaser. I wanted people to like me. I wanted to be a team-player. I wanted everyone to be happy and that required me to do what they wanted me to do... But at a great cost. The cost was my own low key, under-the-surface disappointment in myself and dissatisfaction with my life. I was always letting myself down, not doing what I wanted to be doing.

• I would volunteer for things at work to impress my boss even when I really didn't want to do them. 
• I would meet up with friends after work on Friday nights so as to not disappoint them when really my body was screaming for a quiet night of trashy TV and bed by 9pm.
• I would agree to go to my kid's soccer practice because I felt like I "should" as a mom, when really what I craved was alone time. 
• I would eat the cookies my colleague made to "not make her feel bad" even though I made a commitment to no sugary sweets this week.

I chose to disappoint myself over disappointing them every. single. time. That was a recipe for deep dissatisfaction, resentment, and disappointment in my life. When I would disappoint myself over and over, I'd go to food and wine to soothe myself, to make it all better, to find joy and pleasure in my life. Because "I deserve it." And then it hit me: what I actually deserved was so much more than the conciliatory wine and chocolate that pairs so well with perpetual dissatisfaction and disappointment.  Join me on The Life You Crave Podcast this week to learn how I went from pissed-off-people-pleaser to unapologetically-me in a four-part series called The Big Os. And if you haven't gotten your free Big Os Audit Workbook, what are you waiting for? Together we can end overwhelm, over-obligation, and overeating for good.

We are hardwired to want to please other people. And as women we are socialized to give, to nurture, and to put everyone else's comfort level above our own. It is virtuous, selfless, and generous.... or so we are told. So we show up like a champ. We say... YES! to our bosses YES! to our clients YES! to our spouses YES! to our kids YES! to our friends YES! to the PTA YES! to our church YES! to everybody except for one person... ourselves. We pack our schedules tight, our To Do lists are never ending. I'll sleep when I'm dead. We say. This is important. We say. I'm exhausted. We say. But I have to. We say. We end up feeling obligated because we over-obligated ourselves. Over-obligation breeds deep resentment, dissatisfaction, and yup!-- you guessed it, overeating. Join me on The Life You Crave Podcast this week where we tackle Over-Obligation in a four-part series called The Big Os. And if you haven't gotten your free Big Os Audit Workbook, what are you waiting for? Together we can end overwhelm, over-obligation, and overeating for good.

Do you find yourself overeating in the evenings and weekends? There's a reason for that, you know. A good one, too. And it's not because there's something wrong with you. It's because of what I call The Pressure Cooker Effect and this month on The Life You Crave podcast we are diving deep on what's causing the overwhelm and what you can do about it. If you struggle with overeating or over-drinking, AND you find yourself constantly saying things like...

I am so overwhelmed. My To Do list is never ending. I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole constantly. ...then you don't want to miss this month's podcast series, The Big Os, because it's made just for you.
