Episode #190: Stress Eating Mini Series: Fawn

Summary 

As we wrap up this 4-part Stress Archetype miniseries, we’re diving into one that hits especially close to home for high-achieving women—the People Pleaser (Fawn Response). If you’ve ever found yourself eating or drinking “just to fit in,” feeling awkward saying no, or abandoning your plan in the name of keeping everyone else comfortable… this episode is for you.

You’ll learn why these moments have nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with stress dysregulation, belonging, and the ancient wiring of your brain. If you’re heading into holiday gatherings, work events, or family dinners, this episode will help you show up with clarity, confidence, and self-trust—without feeling like you’re the odd one out.
