Emotional Eating, Stress Eating, and The...

Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to find a reason to eat?

A great day.

A hard day.

Stress.

Celebration.

Exhaustion.

In this episode, we explore emotional eating, stress eating, and what I call the “deserve it” mentality. Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term results

Using real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you’re celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same outcome when food becomes the reward, relief, or escape.

This episode isn’t about restriction or shame.

It’s about awareness, honesty, and choosing a better framework — one that supports real freedom instead of keeping you stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

1. What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it’s so common)
2. How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stress
3. Why earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfires
4. Why “deserve” vs “don’t deserve” is a trap either way
5. What it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindset

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:

1. Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad ones
2. People who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting
3. Those who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotions
4. Anyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with food
5. Those who want freedom, not food rules

This is the kind of work I do with my clients — learning how to unlink food and emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more honest relationship with food.
