Why Willpower Won’t “Fix” Your Emotional Eat Why Willpower Won’t “Fix” Your Emotional Eating (And What Will) I get it. I’m a pretty disciplined person and I can willpower and push through. I did for years with all the things (diets, exercise, therapy, etc) to stop my out of control behaviour with food and my body. Back then, I lived in a tiny space and would spend all my money on therapy weekly for almost 2 years; doing daily affirmations, re-writing my thoughts and mirror work yet nothing was shifting. I was eating my vegetables and working out diligently too. I even added in a chiropractor and nutritionist and still nothing. Months turned into years and there was no real dent in my Emotional Eating. I was still hitting up against the same wall and feeling like a failure. I just couldn’t make things stick. I thought I needed more willpower. My clients are the same way. But this just reinforces that something is wrong with you. That you’re not enough which is not true. Yes, we need willpower to make changes which can happen easily if we have no resistance to that specific change. Think about willpower as the tip of an iceberg - it has 5% power vs. your emotional eating pattern which is subconscious and has 95% power over your actions when triggered. When you drive a car, you don’t think about it and you get to your destination - automatically. That’s because it’s subconscious. If you want to have an impact on your emotional eating beyond willpower-ing your way out of a binge you have to address the deeper underlying blocks with specific tools to shift this pattern. This goes beyond willpower. I’ll be diving into this and the most overlooked underlying causes of Emotional Eating and how you can address it in my upcoming masterclass. I’ll also share the exact method I use to help my clients feel ease and confidence around food and in their body. 👉🏽 Comment “Masterclass” to register and get the replay if you can’t join live.
Emotional Eating Isn’t About Willpower - So what Emotional Eating Isn’t About Willpower - So what is it really about?👇🏽 You’ve probably been told you need more willpower or to avoid your triggers to finally feel at ease around food and confident in your body. If you’re an ambitious woman struggling with emotional eating - I’m sure you’ve tried this for years with no luck. The truth is you don’t need more willpower or to avoid triggers 😉 I get it - I’ve been there too. I used all of my willpower and tried all the things; diets, personal training, therapy sessions and more. But I just couldn’t make the changes stick. After giving it my all without any real change, I hit my breaking point. I knew what I had been doing wasn’t the way… So, I changed things; I ate what I wanted, moved countries (yes), changed careers - hoping I’d have a breakthrough and finally feel ok. But guess what? I still didn’t feel better. But through my trail and error I realized this: emotional eating was my go to coping mechanism. I used it to deal with stress, trauma, and all the uncomfortable emotions I didn’t know how to handle. So with all the changes I made - moving countries and all, I had to figure out my emotional eating because it was stronger than ever. My episodes were debilitating and my self hate was at an all time high. I felt disgusted with myself and knew I needed to do something. So, I rolled up my sleeves and figured out the pieces step by step. And now? It’s been over 10 years since I’ve emotionally eaten - I feel confident and at ease around food and in my body without using willpower, without shaming myself, without counting calories… And now I teach women just like you how to do the same. If you’re ready to resolve your emotional eating then join my FREE Masterclass where I’ll share: 👉🏽Why willpower doesn’t work. 👉🏽Why diets fail you. 👉🏽What’s really triggering your urge to emotionally eat. 👉🏽The 3 Keys to resolving emotional eating for good.

✨ Emotional Eating Started Earlier Than You Thin ✨ Emotional Eating Started Earlier Than You Think…and here’s why it’s not your fault👇🏽 
Emotional eating isn’t just “eating when you’re sad.” Sometimes you don’t realize what you’re feeling and automatically go to food. 
 Emotional eating is a coping mechanism - a pattern often rooted in childhood, when food was the only consistent source of comfort you had. Maybe your caregivers didn’t know how to hold your emotions or you were shamed or dismissed. 
Maybe food was the only “safe” place to turn to when no one could help you feel what you were feeling. So you learned to reach for snacks, sugar, or seconds - not because you were weak or bad, but because you were trying to self-soothe. And now? That same pattern shows up when life gets stressful or overwhelming. 
But the good news is: what was learned can be unlearned with compassion, not control. 🌀 Emotional eating is not your fault but healing it is your opportunity. 👉🏽If this resonates, I go deeper inside my free guide “What Are You Truly Hungry For?”. DM or comment “guide” and I’ll send it over✨
Emotional eating is a message not a mistake I get Emotional eating is a message not a mistake I get it - when I was struggling with emotional eating it felt like something was wrong with me. I thought I was making all these mistakes time and time again. The truth is I didn’t really know what was going on. I just saw how out of control I felt with food and my body. So of course it felt like I was making mistakes with food because that’s all I could see. But as i dove into this pattern I started to see it was a message of something deeper. A message of unmet needs and not having the tools to navigate my emotions. Emotional eating is so much more than just about food. Knowing this made a huge difference and I could then actually start resolving my emotional eating and meet my true needs. I could finally get to ease and confidence around food and in my body. 👉🏽If you’d like to start seeing the message of your emotional eating then get my free guide “What Are You Truly Hungry For?”.

You’re Not Sabotaging Yourself When You Emotiona You’re Not Sabotaging Yourself When You Emotionally Eat. Here’s Why👇🏽 I wanted to talk about self-sabotage because that’s what it can feel like when you emotionally eat. Like: * Why do I keep screwing things up? * Why do I keep binging? * Why do I keep eating when I don’t want to? * Why am I sabotaging myself? * Why am I sabotaging my goals? * Why…? And it can feel really harsh. It all boils down to: “What’s wrong with me?” But that’s not what’s really going on. If we understand what emotional eating really is - a coping mechanism – we’ll realize we are not trying to sabotage ourselves. 👉🏽Let’s dive in. Comment “sabotage” and I’ll DM you the full video✨
Resolving emotional eating is like climbing a moun Resolving emotional eating is like climbing a mountain You get to the top step by step. I remember having moments where I felt I had so far to go to feel ok. I would see this mountain in my mind and feel like I didn’t know how I would climb it. I tried all the thing I could get my hands like diets, trainers, therapy etc but when they didn’t work I had to figure it out. But it all starts with a single step. So step by step you climb and keep going. I learned it’s not a paved path that requires no effort. There are challenges but when you go though the challenge and get to the top it is all worth it. Have a guide makes it easier though. The quick fixes never really helped me understand my pattern or to see what I really needed and the results were fleeting. So in order to resolve your emotional eating you need to be able to go deeper and learn what is really needed. I found through my journey there were 3 things. 1. Learn to nourish myself and discern true from emotional hunger 2. Accept my body and its rhythms to get out of the shame spirals that triggered emotional eating 3. Move through my emotions running my emotional eating and meet my true needs. 👉🏽If you’d like to get started grab my free guide to start discerning true from emotional hunger and catching your triggers. Comment “guide” and i’ll send it over✨
Why do you emotionally eat in the evenings? I kno Why do you emotionally eat in the evenings? I know this is probably the time of day you don’t have much on your plate, you just want to relax but… This is when there is space for your emotions to come into your awareness after being distracted and busy all day long. But when these emotions come up you don’t want to deal with them, maybe you are not even aware of them. You start wanting to eat and eat. You coping mechanism is triggered. Of course if you’re just snacky - you might just need more food. (We discern this inside of my program). But if it’s emotional eating. It means there are emotions that need your attention, that need to be processed. But if you have this coping mechanism you automatically go to food. You might walk up the next day with indigestion, feeling groggy, tired and like crap. To get out of this loop you need to start catching your triggers by discerning true from emotional hunger. 👉🏽Do you find you emotionally eat more at night or in the evenings?
Emotional Eating and Trauma Are Connected👇🏽 Emotional Eating and Trauma Are Connected👇🏽 I wanted to talk more about emotional eating and trauma because I don’t think the connection is always obvious. It definitely wasn’t for me on my own journey… But when I reflected on my experiences—and noticed the same patterns in my clients—it became clear: emotional eating often stems from trauma. The word trauma can feel scary. It’s something we usually want to run away from—we don’t want to look at it. Sometimes, it’s really obvious that emotional eating is tied to trauma. But other times, it’s more subtle. So, what is trauma and how does it connect to emotional eating? 👉🏽Let’s dive in - Comment or DM “trauma” and I’ll send you the full video✨
