The Real Reason You Emotionally Eat (And Why Willpower Was Never the Answer)

from The Growth Lounge · host Jessica Phillips

What if your emotional eating isn't a problem to fix, but a message to understand?In this episode, I get honest about something the wellness world never wants to admit: emotional eating works. That's why you haven't stopped. And that's exactly why shame, willpower, and "just be more disciplined" have never been able to touch it for long.This one is for the woman who has tried everything, knows better, and still finds herself in the kitchen at 10pm reaching for something she said she wouldn't. You are not broken. You are under-regulated and under-resourced. And that's something we can actually work with.Instagram: ⁠⁠@jessicaphillipsco⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠: jessicaphillipsco⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠www.jessicaphillips.co⁠⁠Book a Discovery Call With Me
