Binge Eating Breakthrough

Why Nervous System Work Matters More Than Willpower


Listen Later

What do you do when everything goes off the rails and your nervous system is on high alert?

In this episode, I share what happened during a recent workshop when unexpected tech issues threw everything off track—and how I responded in a way that’s very different from how I would have during my binge eating years.

Instead of relying on willpower or pushing through, I took a moment to pause, regulate, and move forward with intention. I walk you through the 5 specific steps I took in that moment - steps I now often guide my clients through when they’re feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or on the verge of turning to food for relief.

Whether you're in the middle of your struggle with food or learning how to navigate stress differently, this episode offers a compassionate, practical example of what it means to work with your nervous system instead of against it.
