Ep. 511: Feel Your Boredom, Don’t Feed It

Eating at night when you’re not hungry? You might be trying to fill boredom—but here’s the truth: boredom is not a food group.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many of us reach for food in the evenings when we’re not actually hungry. As a master life and weight coach specializing in menopause, I’m sharing the crucial difference between fuel eating and joy eating, and why understanding your emotions is the key to stopping nighttime eating patterns.

This episode covers the four types of eating (fuel, joy, fog, and storm), why boredom pops up at night after busy days, and the most important skill you need: learning to feel your emotions instead of filling them with food. Enjoy the show!
