Today’s episode? It’s not just a mic-drop—it’s a soul shake.

We’re wrapping up the Self-Sabotage Series by cracking open the one pattern that’s been quietly running your life: emotional eating.

You say you want to lose weight. You say you want more energy. But if you're stuffing stress with Cheetos and chasing the news with wine, your brain’s in self-protection mode—not sabotage. Wild, right?

In this episode, I’m giving you the real reason your eating feels out of control—and spoiler alert—it’s not about food. It’s about your emotions. More specifically: how you’ve never been taught to process them like the grown woman you are.

No shame, no judgment—just a powerful reframe and a super simple 3-step plan to get you back in the driver’s seat of your life and your weight loss.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why emotional eating isn’t about willpower (and never was)

• How the world’s chaos is secretly hijacking your hunger

• The dirty little secret about self-sabotage no one’s talking about

• My 3-step Stress Eating Recovery Plan to process emotions like a boss

• How to stop numbing your life and start living it

Whether your self-sabotage looks like popcorn binges, perfectionism, or workaholism, this episode is your wake-up call.

Let me say this louder for the women in the back: you cannot lose weight if you're stressed out. Period.

You’re eating clean, lifting weights, hitting your protein goals—and still, the scale won’t budge. You feel like you're doing everything right, but your body’s stuck in survival mode and holding onto fat for dear life.

In this episode, I break down what’s really going on in your body when you're stressed—and how chronic cortisol is slowing your metabolism, messing with your hormones, and blocking fat loss.

I’m also sharing my personal journey of healing from adrenal fatigue, how I reinvented my lifestyle for real recovery, and my go-to De-Stress & Rest Ritual that flipped the switch on my nervous system and got my body into fat loss mode.

🧠 It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what’s on your mind.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your weight loss is stuck—even if you’re doing everything “right”

• How high cortisol blocks fat loss and protein synthesis

• What it really means to regulate your nervous system (beyond bubble baths)

• My De-Stress & Rest Ritual to flip your body into fat-burning mode
