EP 295. How to Stop Using Food as Your Best Friend & And Build the Real Thing
I used to think women came to me because they couldn't stop eating. What I've learned after a decade of coaching is that most of them were never hungry for food in the first place.
In this episode, I'm introducing a concept called the Friendship Gap — the space between the relationships you have and the ones that actually feed you. If you are over 40, busy, and reaching for food at the end of a long day, this episode will change the way you see your weight forever.
What You'll Learn in This Episode
Why being busy is not the same as being connected — and how that difference is driving you to food
What the Friendship Gap is and why it is one of the most overlooked reasons weight stops moving after 40
The three questions that will tell you exactly where your primary food is deficient
How one of my clients lost 18 pounds in three months at 54, menopausal, during the holidays — without finding a new meal plan
What becomes possible for your weight when your primary food is finally full
