Episode #188: Stress Eating Mini Series: The Advocate

Summary 

In this episode, we’re diving into the fight response—what I call The Advocate. If you’re the woman who pushes harder when life gets messy, who double-downs and powers through even when you’re exhausted, this one’s for you. We’ll unpack how the same drive that fuels our success at work and home can quietly sabotage our consistency and keep us stuck in the stress-weight cycle.

Instead of trying to be “more disciplined,” we’ll explore what’s really going on under the surface—how stress, cortisol, and unchecked emotions drive urges, cravings, and burnout. You’ll learn how to regulate our stress, reclaim our energy, and stay consistent without needing more willpower.
