157. The Real Reason You Stress Eat and How to Stop It

We all know stress is part of life, but when it starts pushing you toward food, it can feel overwhelming. In this episode, I’m breaking down why stress eating happens, what it really means, and how to get to the root of the stress itself—because the food isn’t the issue! We’ll dive into how to simplify your life, set boundaries, and add small, positive moments that help you manage stress without turning to food.
