🎙️IN THIS EPISODE:

You’ve got the discipline. The drive. The color-coded food plans.

So, why does it still feel like no matter how hard you try, your healthy eating habits just won’t stick?

If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of starting strong and burning out fast, this episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

→ Why micromanaging your food choices keeps backfiring (even when it feels productive)
→ The emotional urgency behind “perfect eating” — and how to unhook from it
→ The surprising reason your Type A skills aren’t the problem (and how to use them differently)
→ What sustainable food habits actually look like — without losing structure or giving up control entirely

This isn’t about giving up. It’s about finally learning the difference between control and clarity, so your eating habits can feel natural, not forced.
