Does Valentine’s Day chocolate feel fun, but also bring up a little inward groan?

Despite being a chocolate-lover, it can bring up fear of overeating, guilt around sweets, and the pressure to “be good", especially if you have a sweet tooth and a history of dieting.

In this episode of Eating Habits for Life, I chat about why chocolate feels so charged on Valentine’s Day, how restriction and fear actually drive overeating, and 4 simple steps to enjoy chocolate with intention instead of urgency.

You’ll also learn what to do if you eat more chocolate than you wanted, without shame or starting over.

This episode is for anyone who wants to feel calm, confident, and in control around chocolate, without relying on willpower.

Women in healthcare and similar roles are incredibly prone to losing control with food after work.

So tune in to truly understand:

1. Why these eating habits occur
2. What's making them worse

If you’re a woman in healthcare who holds it together all day but feels out of control around food, this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I break down why overeating, emotional eating, cravings, and mindless snacking are a response to exhaustion, nervous system overload, beliefs and habit loops.

You’ll learn what’s really happening in your brain and body, why food has become a source of relief, and why more self-control only makes the cycle worse.

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a mindset shift that replaces shame and frustration with something that actually supports change.

You’re disciplined, capable, and productive, so why does food feel out of control when the day is over?

In this episode, I'm breaking down how burnout affects your nervous system, hunger cues, and eating habits.

And why stress eating, night snacking, and binge patterns show up even when you “do everything right.”

You’ll hear what life can look like on the other side too.

Where you’re still busy and high-performing (especially in healthcare careers or other demanding careers), but your body feels safe and food no longer feels urgent.

I’ll also share one simple shift you can try today to immediately calm the urgency around food.

And if you crave feeling calm, confident and in control around food, I can help you during a free consult -- book it below 👇🏼

You can be perfect all day... eating “right,” skipping snacks, controlling every bite... and then suddenly, food feels completely out of control.

If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen at night, eating things you didn’t even want and feeling shame hit right after, this episode is for you.

I break down how perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking quietly drive the binge–restrict cycle, what your brain is actually doing, and why being disciplined alone hasn’t worked.

You’ll learn how to finally feel in control, satisfied, and at peace with food, without dieting, guilt, or constant willpower battles.

Plus, I share how my Eat With Intention 1:1 coaching program helps high-achieving women, especially in healthcare and demanding careers, stop the cycle, release food shame, and build a healthy, lasting relationship with food.

You finally make it through the holidays… and then you step on the scale.

The number is higher, and the familiar thoughts rush in: Why does this happen every year? Why can’t I control myself around food?

In this episode of Eating Habits for Life, I talk about the truth of why post-holiday weight gain happens and why it has nothing to do with willpower or self-control.

In this episode, I share:

1. Why post-holiday weight gain feels so discouraging (and why it’s not your fault)
2. How emotions and thoughts drive overeating and habit loops
3. Why weight loss is still possible, even if you’ve been stuck for a long time
4. What it actually looks like to change eating habits without dieting or restriction

If you’re tired of starting over after every holiday or vacation, and you want weight loss that feels supportive instead of punishing, this episode will give you clarity, relief, and a grounded way forward.

I also share how I work one-on-one with clients inside Eat with Intention to build lifelong skills around eating, weight loss, and peace with food.

Do you always reach for something sweet with your coffee, even when you don’t want to? A cookie, pastry, or chocolate bar that feels automatic, followed by frustration and the thought, “Why do I always do this?”

In this episode of the Eating Habits for Life podcast, I'm unpacking why craving sweets with your coffee has nothing to do with willpower or self-control, and what’s actually driving this habit.

You’ll learn how emotions, habit loops, and unhelpful thoughts fuel sugar cravings, emotional eating, and mindless snacking, especially during busy mornings or work breaks.

If you’re trying to lose weight, eat healthier, or feel more in control around food (without restriction or dieting), this episode will show you how to break the coffee-and-sweets habit at the root. So weight loss feels easier and more sustainable.

In this episode of Eating Habits for Life, we’re diving into Probability Mindset vs. Possibility Mindset and how this single shift can completely change your relationship with food, your body, and your results.

If you’ve ever thought:

1. “I’ve tried before and it didn’t work…”
2. “I’ll probably just fail again…”
3. “I want change, but I don’t trust myself anymore…”

This episode will help you understand why your brain keeps predicting the same outcomes, and how to stop letting your past define what’s possible for you.

You’ll learn:

1. What probability mindset is and how it quietly keeps you stuck with food and weight
2. Why “realistic” goals often protect you from disappointment, but limit real change
3. How a possibility mindset opens the door to sustainable weight loss and peace with food
4. The powerful questions that shift you from fear of failure to real momentum
5. How changing who you become matters more than forcing new actions with willpower

This conversation goes beyond eating habits and weight loss. It’s about expanding what you allow yourself to want and showing your brain that this time truly can be different.

✨ Plus, I share an important update about the future direction of this podcast and who it’s specifically being created for moving forward.

If you’re ready to stop predicting failure and start exploring what’s possible, this episode is for you.
