Ever find yourself face down in a carton of ice cream after a hard day? You're not alone.

Today I'm welcoming fellow coach Jill Pack to explore the transformative world of emotional resilience. Together, we unpack why we turn to food when feelings get uncomfortable and share practical tools to break this cycle. Discover why feelings like frustration and anxiety aren't enemies to fight against, but messengers with valuable information about what you truly need.

Learn Jill's game-changing "NOW" method for actually processing emotions (something snacking through the evening never helps with!), and hear the touching story of her four-year-old daughter's profound realization about happiness. This conversation isn't just about stopping emotional eating—it's about developing a richer, more vibrant relationship with your entire emotional landscape. When you learn to embrace and better manage your emotions, the desire to eat to escape them naturally fades.

Today I'm sharing a powerful insight from my yoga instructor that hit me like a ton of bricks while I was shaking through an impossibly difficult pose. His simple observation about how we can sometimes create our own difficulty completely shifted my perspective, and I immediately saw how this applies to weight loss.

What you'll learn:

• The important difference between what's actually happening versus our (often unhelpful) stories about it
• Why your thoughts about urges and cravings matter more than the urges themselves
• How I've applied this concept in everything from traffic jams to school events
• When to shift your thinking versus when to just take care of yourself first
• Why "I can't stop once I start eating" is a lie you're telling yourself
• Practical ways to interrupt patterns and make weight loss so much easier

I'll show you how to take back control with your thinking instead of feeling controlled by your circumstances. This isn't about toxic positivity—it's about recognizing when you're making things unnecessarily hard on yourself, and coming back to "this feels totally doable".

This episode offers a refreshing perspective that can make your weight loss journey feel lighter, more peaceful, and just plain easier. And isn't that exactly what we all want?

Your restriction-free weight loss toolbox needs a multitude of tools, and today I'm sharing one of my absolute favorites that changed everything for me. I dive into how your nervous system works and why understanding it makes losing weight so much easier. This isn't about restriction or willpower - it's about recognizing when you're in fight-or-flight mode or completely shut down, and knowing what that means for your eating habits.

Instead of beating yourself up when you reach for that ice cream after a stressful day (which we know doesn't work anyway!), you'll learn how to check in with your body, recognize what's actually happening, and give yourself what you truly need. It's like finally having the missing piece that makes all my other tools - the hunger scale, joyful eating, emotion work - come together. Understanding your nervous system is an absolute game-changer for your weight loss journey!
