Episode 163: The Secrets You're Keeping - and How Youā€™re Eating Them Alive

Apr 11, 2025
 

 

 

The other day, one of my coaches asked me a question that stopped me right in my tracks. That question… and my answer… surprised me. And it changed everything. And it’s going to change everything for you. This is one of the most powerful episodes you’re going to hear on this podcast.

Together, we'll unpack:

  • The question that stopped me cold. And changed the way I coach forever.
  • Why emotional eating has nothing to do with food… and everything to do with what you’re hiding.
  • How the Reticular Activating System (RAS) is silently running your cravings on autopilot.
  • The Chandler Bing Syndrome: could it BE any more obvious that you’re trying to keep it together while secretly unraveling?
  • How childhood bullying, people-pleasing, and perfectionism are connected to your nighttime snack attacks.
  • What science reveals about why willpower alone will never win.
  • Why the weight you’re carrying isn’t just on your body… it’s in your secrets. And you’re eating them alive. 
  • The Secret Shame Cycle: how food becomes the only “safe” place for your pain.
