Episode 193: The Week That Should Have Triggered Massive Binge Eating (But Didn't)
Nov 28, 2025
I just had a week that should have triggered massive binge eating. But it didn’t. If you’re in a season of high stress because of travel, holidays, vacation or even a project deadline, you need to hear this because I want you to steal my exact strategy because one stressful week can unravel every single gain you’ve worked so hard to make.
After 40+ years of emotional eating myself, and after helping several hundred women conquer emotional eating with tactics I learned as the Chief of Staff for FBI Counterintelligence (yes, really), I promise… you CAN get through the most chaotic, sleep-deprived, travel-heavy week without binge eating… if you follow a specific plan. I’m about to reveal the 5 exact steps I used during one of the most stressful weeks of my entire year, a week that should have triggered a binge, but didn’t.
Together, we will investigate:
- How to stay out of binge-eating mode when stress, travel, and sleep deprivation collide.
- What to eat during high-stress travel days so you don’t end up raiding the airport snack wall.
- The #1 mindset shift that keeps emotional eating from taking over on your busiest weeks.
- The most important question you can ask yourself when you get a craving, and what it does to your brain.
- The 5-step game plan that prevents binge eating during work travel, vacation, holidays, and chaotic weeks.
- How to make calm, grounded food decisions even when your routine is destroyed.
- How to build an stress-proof eating plan that stays solid even when life feels like a dumpster fire.
