If you’ve ever eaten when you weren’t hungry - just because you felt stressed, sad or overwhelmed - you know how frustrating emotional eating can feel.

But here’s the truth: emotional eating isn’t weakness. It’s intelligence.

Your brain uses food as a coping mechanism to help you regulate stress, soothe pain or feel safe.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• The science behind why your brain turns to food during difficult emotions
• The emotional eating cycle (and why shame keeps you stuck in it)
• Real-life scenarios where food feels like the only solution
• Practical coping strategies that actually work without restriction or guilt
• How to build an emotional toolkit so food isn’t your only option
