110: Help! I can't stop at 2 squares of ...

Lyndi Cohen
About this episode

Ever found yourself reaching for a few squares of chocolate, only to feel a wave of guilt as the last square disappears? You're not alone. 

In this episode, we unpack the science and psychology behind out-of-control chocolate eating habits. And most importantly, how we can navigate around the "I have to finish all of this now" thinking trap.  

It's not just about saying no or yes to chocolate. It's about understanding WHY we crave it and HOW we can enjoy it mindfully. All while learning to appreciate the pure pleasure of eating the chocolate you actually like, without substituting it with less fulfilling options. Cause let's be real, those sugar-free or 95% dark chocolate varieties just ain't it.  

You too can become one of those people who have a few squares of chocolate and feel satisfied enough not to eat the entire block. So, press play and find out how 🍫
