emotional eating program

One place that even smart high-achievers get stuck with emotional eating - and with comfort eating, stress eating or eating to numb or overeating because you’re so busy - or any kind of overeating really, is by missing an important connection. And that’s the connection between your boundaries and your relationship with food.

There are reasons that focusing on boundaries might make you uncomfortable (I’ll cover this), and some of the connections between boundaries and emotional eating and overeating might surprise you. You need to hear this.

So let’s talk about it.

What you’ll learn from this episode:

• How certain boundaries can actually create overwhelm and overeating
• You may know more than you think about how to change your eating - boundaries can help you discover this
• Why boundaries are so much more than saying no
