EP 225. How to Quickly Stop Emotional Eating in 5 Minutes or Less


Ever find yourself in the kitchen with a fork in one hand and zero control in the other? Been there, done that—cake and all. In this episode, I share a personal story about emotional eating and how I interrupted the cycle using a 5-minute hack I call Pause.

This isn’t about willpower; it’s about creating a simple, go-to plan when those overwhelming cravings strike. We dive into why emotional eating feels automatic, how to identify triggers, and the exact steps to stop it in its tracks. This is the game-changing strategy to help you trust yourself with food again—and it works every single time.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • The 4 common emotional eating triggers that put you on autopilot.

  • What’s really happening in your brain during emotional eating moments.

  • My 5-minute Pause strategy to quickly regain control.

  • How to shift your emotional state and choose a different action.

  • Why trusting yourself around food is the ultimate freedom.
