About this episode

Message me with comments or questions

In this week’s episode of the Breakthrough Emotional Eating Podcast, Kristin's unpacking two of the most powerful (yet underrated) tools for lasting change — gratitude and journaling.

She explore how your thoughts set off emotions that drive your actions — and how you can interrupt that loop before it leads to emotional eating. You’ll learn how simple daily routines can calm your nervous system, reduce food urges, and help you build the consistency and confidence that diets never deliver.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover:
 ✨ The TEA-Cycle that links your thoughts, emotions, and actions — and how to interrupt it
✨ Why gratitude raises dopamine and serotonin, helping you feel more content and in control
✨ How to retrain your Reticular Activating System (RAS) to notice the good instead of the negative
✨ How journaling empties your mind, reducing urges and anxiety around food
✨ The power of tracking your wins to build self-trust and momentum
✨ Three simple daily practices you can start today to reset your relationship with food

This episode blends all three parts of my 3 R’s to Food Freedom™ framework — Routine, Rewiring, and Radical Accountability — to help you create real emotional freedom with food.
