Overdrinking and emotional eating often go hand-in-hand, but rarely do we talk openly about alcohol as a coping mechanism—especially for high-achieving women. In this episode, Dr. Sherry Price joins me to discuss how she broke free from a wine habit that no longer served her, the emotional parallels between food and alcohol, and why abstinence isn't the only solution.

In this episode, I’m sharing five things every smart woman needs to know about emotional eating. If food still feels like a struggle even though you’ve tried all the things, a better understanding of emotional eating might help you understand why. I’ll explain why emotional eating isn’t always obvious, how it shows up in ways you might miss, and what you actually need to do instead of relying on willpower or control.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• How emotional eating can be happening even if you don’t think it is
• Why willpower, structure, and being "strong" don’t lead to peace with food
• What GLP-1s and food plans often miss about emotional eating
• What it actually takes to stop the cycle of stress and comfort eating
• How to stop blaming yourself and start using a smarter, more compassionate approach

If you've ever said "I'll start over Monday," only to end up back in the same old loop, this episode is for you. Too many smart, high-achieving women are stuck in a cycle that goes something like this: try hard, lose steam, get off track, blame yourself, and start again - harder this time. It's exhausting. And it's not working.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why the traditional "start over" mindset sets you up to fail
• The difference between reacting and resetting - and why it matters
• The five key steps to creating a reset that actually works
• What diet culture gets wrong about willpower and starting fresh

If you’ve ever found yourself eating on autopilot, not tasting your food, or wondering how you got from “just a bite” to the bottom of the bag, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. What’s likely happening is something I see all the time - you’re simply not with yourself in those moments. And when you’re not present, something else takes over.

Here’s what I’m covering in this episode:

• Why checking out is so common - and how it fuels overeating
• The real cost of disconnection from yourself (and why it’s not neutral)
• What changes when you start noticing and tuning into your own experience
• How you can start practicing this shift - even if it’s messy, imperfect, or brand new
