Welcome to the Emotional Eats Podcast!
If you've ever found yourself standing in the pantry at night wondering, "Why am I doing this again?" this episode is for you.
You know exactly what to eat. You've read the books, followed the meal plans, counted the calories, and started over more times than you can count. Yet you still feel out of control around food and blame yourself for not having enough willpower.
What if the problem isn't discipline at all?
In this compassionate conversation, Kim sits down with licensed spiritual practitioner, yoga instructor, and coach Stacey Paige to explore the emotional roots of weight struggles in midlife. Together, they unpack how limiting beliefs, nervous system overwhelm, unprocessed emotions, and lifelong patterns can quietly drive emotional eating, even when you know all the "right" things to do.
Rather than offering another list of food rules, this episode focuses on helping you better understand yourself while giving you practical tools you can begin using today.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Stacey explains that lasting change happens when we stop trying to fight the behavior and instead become curious about what's driving it.
Your emotional eating may be pointing toward something that needs compassion, healing, and attention rather than more restriction.
When you begin addressing the root causes instead of only the behavior, everything starts to change.
