Ever eaten something and immediately thought, “Wtf is wrong with me.. why can’t I control myself??” It’s a pretty loaded question and impossible to reduce it down to one podcast hah but let me tell you a client story from this past week that might hit home for you.

It’s usually not about the food.. it’s about the moments that came before it and everything else going on around you. Just know you’re not broken + this kinda stuff happens more than you think.
