If you've already caught yourself thinking, "I need to get back on track after Halloween…" — this episode is your cue to pause before the holiday overeating spiral begins.

Every year, it starts the same way: a few fun-sized candies turn into "I'll start fresh in January." But what if this year could actually be different?

In this episode, Coach Steph and I unpack the early warning signs that the holiday overeating cycle is beginning — and share how to stop it before it snowballs. You'll learn how to:

• Shift out of the all-or-nothing "holiday free-for-all" mindset.

• Create a simple plan that lets you enjoy your favorite foods without guilt or restriction.

• Reframe your thoughts so you feel peaceful and in control around food.

• Practice the habits of naturally thin people — even during the most tempting time of year.

We're also putting the finishing touches on our brand-new "Season's Eatings" Mini Course: Your Holiday Plate Playbook, which will be available next week. It's designed to help you head into the holidays with confidence, enjoy your favorite foods, and ditch the stress of "getting back on track."

If you're tired of ending every holiday season bloated, frustrated, and starting over from scratch, this episode will show you exactly how to break that pattern — and finally enjoy the holidays like a naturally thin person.

If you've ever promised yourself you'd "just have one" piece of Halloween candy—only to find yourself knee-deep in wrappers an hour later—this episode is for you.

In today's conversation, Steph and I are diving into why Halloween candy (and all "off-limits" foods) can feel so irresistible for chronic dieters—and what you can actually do to change that.

Spoiler: it's not about sugar addiction, it's about the scarcity mindset diet culture trained into your brain.

You'll learn how to:

• Break the all-or-nothing cycle that turns one bite into a binge
• Neutralize your relationship with "forbidden" foods so they lose their power
• Eat candy (or any food) with confidence, not guilt
• Practice self-trust instead of relying on willpower
• Reflect instead of spiral when you overeat

If you're tired of feeling out of control around sweets and want a calm, drama-free relationship with food—not just on Halloween, but year-round—this episode will show you exactly how to get there.

🎧 Tune in and learn how to enjoy the candy and keep your goals intact.

If you've ever wondered, "Why am I suddenly binge eating when I've been doing everything right?" — this episode is for you.

This week, Coach Steph and I break down a Reddit post from a woman who sounds like so many of our clients — and our former selves: she's tracking her calories, eating "clean," exercising five days a week… yet somehow finds herself bingeing and feeling completely out of control around food.

Here's the truth: binge eating never starts "out of nowhere." It's not a willpower problem — it's a restriction problem.

In this episode, we dig into:

• The hidden ways mental, emotional, and physical restriction fuel binge eating
• Why counting calories and labeling foods as "good" or "bad" keeps you stuck in the binge–restrict cycle
• How dieting actually creates the very loss of control you're trying to avoid
• What your binges are trying to tell you — and how to respond without guilt, shame, or more food rules

If you're tired of feeling like you can't trust yourself around food — and you've tried everything from journaling to "just eating carrots instead" — this episode will help you understand what's really driving your binges and how to finally break free from them.

🎧 Plus, we share a free tool — the 25 Scripts & Trigger Tracker — to help you uncover your emotional triggers and reframe your thoughts so you can respond instead of react.

Because you don't need more control around food — you need a safer, calmer relationship with it. Tune in to learn how to stop binge eating without relying on willpower or restriction.
