In this raw episode of RAW CHATTER, we go behind the scenes of high-achievers and talk about the part of the day nobody sees: the night.When the house goes quiet but your brain doesn’t.When the pressure drops but your chest tightens.When you’re standing at the fridge, pouring a glass, eating what you don’t even taste - not because you’re hungry, but because you need the noise inside you to stop.This isn’t about food.Or alcohol.Or discipline.It’s about perfectionism, pressure, performance, and the private breakdowns that happen behind closed doors.We unpack:• Why nights feel harder than days• The perfectionism–pressure–numbing loop• Why high-achievers turn to food & alcohol in the dark• The emotional load most people never admit• How to break the cycle without force, shame, or restrictionPlus a personal invitation: £500 off my VIP Day or 30-Day Accelerator when you book in December (start in Jan/Feb).Apply here: https://tidycal.com/vicky1/evaluationcallThis episode will hit home - because it’s the part no one talks about, but everyone feels.Vicky xx🧠 Website: https://vickymidwood.com/ 📩 Join the email list for weekly updates: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/426802/87719477697841062/share Email: [email protected] Book a call: https://tidycal.com/vicky1/30-minute-chat Connect via social media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vickymidwoodhealthcoach/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vicky.midwood/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vicky_gofigurecoaching/
