  • EPISODE 108: The Moment You Think 'Screw It' With Food – What's Really Happening?
    Mar 24 2026

    Ever had that moment where you think, "screw it," and suddenly you're elbow-deep in cookies you didn't even really want?

    In this episode, we're breaking down what's actually happening in that split second and why it has nothing to do with willpower, discipline, or "being good."

    Here's the truth: it's not the cookie. It's the story you tell yourself after the cookie that sends you spiraling.

    If you're tired of being "perfect" all day only to feel out of control at night, this one's going to hit home and more importantly, give you a way out.

    What you'll learn:

    • Why all-or-nothing thinking is the real trigger behind overeating

    • How labeling foods "good" or "bad" keeps you stuck in the binge/restrict cycle

    • The hidden reason one "slip" feels like total failure

    • Why self-criticism backfires (and what actually works instead)

    • 3 simple, practical strategies to stop the spiral in the moment

    You'll walk away with tools you can use today... like asking better questions, making your "next best decision," and breaking the habit of "starting over tomorrow."

    No more food drama. No more starting over. Just a smarter way forward.

  • EPISODE 107: Why Nighttime Is When Everything Falls Apart With Food
    Mar 17 2026

    If you're "good" with food all day… and then somehow end up standing in the kitchen at 9pm thinking, "Why am I eating this? I'm not even hungry…" this episode is for you.

    In this conversation, Coach Steph and I unpack the real reason nighttime eating feels so out of control (hint: it's usually notabout willpower). In fact, the late-night pantry raids many women struggle with are often the predictable result of what's happening earlier in the day.

    Translation: the problem isn't that you lack discipline. It's that the strategies you've been taught are quietly setting you up to fail.

    If you're tired of ending your nights feeling guilty, frustrated, and promising yourself you'll "be better tomorrow," this episode will show you a smarter way forward.

    Inside the episode, we cover:

    • Why undereating earlier in the day is one of the biggest drivers of nighttime overeating

    • The hidden role of mental exhaustion and emotional depletion in late-night snacking

    • Why banning "trigger foods" often makes cravings 10x worse

    • How to reintroduce foods you love without losing control around them

    • Simple ways to separate food from relaxation at the end of the day

    • A powerful "closing the kitchen" ritual that dramatically reduces nighttime grazing

    Most importantly, you'll walk away with practical strategies you can start implementing tonight to finally break the cycle.
