In this episode we discuss how habits form, why we often use food to cope (especially after quitting alcohol), and what it actually takes to feel in control again.You'll also hear how binge eating, like drinking, is often just an attempt to deal with discomfort. Amber shares her story of going from obsessive dieting and bingeing to becoming someone who can eat mindfully, without fear or guilt.Expect practical tools, honest insights, and plenty of parallels between food and alcohol habits, so if you’ve swapped wine for sugar or feel like you’re just bouncing from one coping strategy to another, this one’s for you.Awesome Takeaways:How binge eating and drinking often come from the same root causesThe power of seeing habits as just that, habits, not personal failingsWhy scarcity mindset fuels overeating (and over-drinking)The importance of slowing down and paying attention to what you're doingPractical ways to build mindfulness into eating (or drinking) habitsWhy learning to sit with discomfort is the key to long-term changeConnect with Amber;Free gift!
