On a tous, de près ou de loin, quelqu'un qui souffre autour de nous d'une addiction. Parfois de manière visible. Et souvent de façon beaucoup plus cachée. Car être addict (ou addict repenti) donne honte. Et c'est tout le problème. Or, à l'heure actuelle, le phénomène n'est plus marginal : la consommation de drogues durs explose, l'alcool détruit des vies à tout âge, sans parler de médicaments, de tabac, de jeux d'argent, de troubles du comportement alimentaire et bien sûr de réseaux sociaux. Force est de constater que l'addiction est partout et que le monde actuel nous incite à tomber dans des comportements souvent nocifs pour nous et notre entourage. Pour décrypter ce sujet mal connu, j'ai invité Laurent Karila. Professeur en psychiatrie, grand fan de heavy metal, doté d'un humour aussi décapant que de connaissances impressionnantes, il est aujourd'hui la référence incontournable de l'addictologie en France.Dans cet épisode, je lui ai posé les questions qu'on se pose tous : Que se passe-t-il chimiquement dans le cerveau quand on est addict ?Pourquoi certaines personnes deviennent addictes et d'autres non ?Peut-on guérir d'une addiction ? Et comment ? Les hommes et les femmes sont-ils égaux face à ce phénomène ?Est-ce vraiment une question de volonté pour s'en sortir ?Que doit faire l'entourage ?Comment protéger ses enfants et ses adolescents ?Une conversation passionnante et profondément utile.Je ne vous en dis pas plus et laisse place à ma conversation avec Laurent Karila.Bonne écoute ✨Chapitrage 00:00 – Pourquoi l'addiction nous concerne tous01:47 – Comment devient-on addictologue ?04:00 – Comment savoir si l'on est vraiment addict ?07:51 – Que se passe-t-il dans le cerveau quand on est addict ?12:37 – Génétique, souffrance, quotidien : pourquoi devient-on addict ?17:42 – Drogues, sport, travail, sucre : peut-on être addict à tout ?25:08 – Peut-on guérir et comment aider un proche ?34:09 – Sucre, réseaux sociaux, drogues : les nouvelles addictions ?46:47 – Comment protéger ses enfants face aux consommations ?49:30 – Honte, volonté, heavy metal : les dernières leçons de Laurent Karila Notes et références de l'épisode ✨ Pour retrouver Laurent Karila : Sur InstagramSur YouTubeSur FacebookSur LinkedIn✨ Les livre écrits par Laurent Karila: Addict ou pasUne histoire de poudre.

Cravings can feel random.Like they come out of nowhere.Like something is wrong with you.But what I want you to understand in this episode is this:Cravings are not about willpower.They are about physiology.More specifically — they are driven by hormones responding to your stress, sleep, food patterns, and emotional state.Why Cravings Feel So ConfusingOne of the biggest frustrations with cravings is that they don't come from just one place.They are influenced by:Stress signalsBlood sugar patternsHunger hormonesSleep qualityReward pathwaysThis is why cravings feel unpredictable…but once you understand them, they are actually very patterned.Stress Is Driving More Than You ThinkYour body is constantly responding to stress.And it doesn't distinguish between:being chasedbeing overwhelmedworrying about your weightstepping on the scaleIt all registers the same.So when you're thinking:“I need to lose weight”“I shouldn't have eaten that”“I'm out of control”Your body hears: stressAnd stress creates a demand for energy.That demand shows up as cravings.Why You Crave Sugar and Quick FoodsWhen your body is in a constant “go” state:It releases energy into your bloodstreamYour brain expects that energy to be usedIf it's not used, your body pushes you to consume moreThis is why you crave:sugarsalty snacksrefined carbsNot because you lack discipline —but because your body is trying to keep up with perceived demand.The Blood Sugar LoopOnce you respond to cravings:Blood sugar risesStorage hormones kick inBlood sugar dropsAnother craving beginsThis creates a loop:Craving → spike → crash → cravingThis is where things start to feel out of control.But it's not random.It's biological.5. How Sleep Makes Cravings WorseWhen this pattern continues into the evening:Late eatingBlood sugar spikesDisrupted sleepThe next day:You feel hungrierYou feel less satisfiedCravings feel strongerSleep loss amplifies hunger and reduces fullness.6. Why You Feel Hungry Even After EatingThere's a disconnect many people feel:You eat…but you're still not satisfied.This happens when your body becomes resistant to fullness signals.So instead of:“I've had enough”Your body keeps saying:“Keep going.”This is not a mindset problem.It's a signaling problem.7. The Pattern Most People MissA very common pattern I see:Not eating much during the dayEating most of your food at nightAnd then trying to “fix” nighttime eating.But the truth is:The reset doesn't happen at night.The reset happens the next morning.8. The Shift That Changes EverythingInstead of:restrictingcontrollingfighting cravingsI want you to focus on:Supporting your body earlier in the dayEven something small:a light breakfasta simple mealconsistent nourishmentThis helps:stabilize energyregulate your rhythmreduce cravings laterStruggling with emotional or binge eating?

What if the lens you're looking through is distorting everything you see? In this message, Senior Pastor Aaron explores what it means to crave the right things, reminding us that what we hunger for reveals what we've been feeding on, and that anchoring our lives in God's Word is what keeps us steady in an unsteady world. He challenges us to examine our spiritual diet, separate the noise from the nourishment, and return to the pure milk of the Word rather than settling for secondhand content or curated experiences. If you've felt spiritually restless, easily distracted, or unsure why your faith feels inconsistent, this message will encourage you to change the lens and build your life on something that doesn't shift with the culture.

There's a concept you've probably heard before — set point.And in the world of dieting, it's often explained in one very limited way:“Your body prefers a certain weight.”But in this episode, I expand that idea into something far more honest… and far more empowering.Because your set point isn't just about your metabolism.1. Why Weight Always “Comes Back”You'll hear I intentionally use the term weight loss — and explain why that language matters.Because what we lose, we subconsciously try to regain.That's why:You can lose 20 pounds… and gain it backYou can try different diets… and end up in the same placeYou can feel like you're doing everything “right”… and still feel stuckIt's not a lack of discipline.It's that your body is returning to its current set point — the environment it recognizes as “normal.”2. Your Body Is a Reflection of Your Internal EnvironmentThis episode anchors into a powerful truth:Your physical body reflects your internal environment.That includes:Your weightYour aches and painsYour habits and self-sabotaging behaviorsThey're not random.They're signals.And instead of trying to control the body…I invites you to look at what's shaping it.3. The Biggest Lie About Set PointDiet culture teaches that your set point is determined by:MetabolismCaloriesExerciseMuscle massGeneticsAnd yes — those factors play a role.But they're not the full picture.Because if they were…changing your food alone would permanently change your weight.And for most people — it doesn't.4. Your Set Point Is Your Entire “Diet”And here's where everything shifts:Your diet is not just food.Your diet is:What you watchWhat you listen toWho you surround yourself withWhat you scroll throughWhat you tolerateWhat you repeatedly think and feelYour environment becomes your biology.5. Stress, Cortisol & Why You Feel StuckThis episode connects the dots between stress and weight in a deeper way.Because stress isn't just something you “feel.” It's something you consume.And it directly impacts your internal environment — which shapes your set point.So even if:You're eating “healthy.”You're exercising consistentlyIf your system is constantly in:pressurecomparisonanxietyurgencyYour body will adapt to that as your normal.6. The Invisible Influences You're OverlookingI call out something most people don't want to hear — but need to:Your set point is influenced by:Your friendsYour familyYour work environmentYour social mediaYour entertainment choicesIf your environment constantly triggers:comparisoninadequacypressure“not enough” energy…it reinforces a version of you that your body will reflect.7. Your Thoughts & Emotions Shape Your Set PointThis might be the most important piece:Your thoughts and emotions are part of your diet.If you consistently experience:anxietystressguiltshameoverwhelmThat becomes your internal baseline.And your body responds accordingly.Not because it's working against you —but because it's trying to stay consistent with what feels familiar.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

There's a question sitting underneath a lot of leadership conversations right now, one that most people aren't saying out loud: am I actually adding value to what matters — or am I just busy? Felecia Pryor received a piece of feedback early in her career that stung: don't play in the garden when the house is on fire. More than any other conversation in the CPO series, this line has resonated and I think it might be the most important question any executive can ask of themselves right now. Not in a performance review. Not in a strategy session. Right now, today, looking honestly at where your time and thinking actually goes. This episode is my reflection on the Shaping the Future CPO series — six conversations with some of the most senior people leaders. I let the insights settle for several months before coming back to them. What rose to the surface wasn't about HR frameworks or people strategy in the traditional sense. It was about what it actually takes to be at the centre of strategic decisions rather than downstream of them. And it applies far beyond the CPO role. What's inside: Don't play in the garden — Felecia Pryor's confronting early-career feedback and the question every executive should be sitting with right now Step towards the tension — Why Amy Walker's deliberate practice of moving into discomfort is what earns you a place at the strategic table — and why so many senior leaders are conditioned to do the opposite The influence you can't see — What Amy Stanley and Shomaice Zowghi revealed about the influence that has no audience — and why it's often more powerful than anything visible on your CV Curiosity is not optional — Why Anu Villarosa designs for curiosity deliberately, what Damian Zahra's feedback work taught me, and what happens to leaders who stay too long in their own lane Are you in the house? — What being at the strategic table actually requires, and why getting invited to the meeting isn't the same thing If this lands, come and find me on LinkedIn. I'd love to know which of these insights hits closest to home. https://www.linkedin.com/company/brave-feminine-leadership   Book time to connect with Melissa - 15 mins: https://calendly.com/brave-feminine-leadership/curious-for-feedbackb WORK WITH MELISSA: The Executive Shift — 8-week intensive for senior women ready to lead at full power: https://bravefeminineleadership.com/the-executive-shift INFLUENCE Mastermind — 6-month peer advisory for sitting CEOs (max 6, invitation only): https://bravefeminineleadership.com/programs/ceo_mastermind 1:1 Executive Coaching — https://calendly.com/the-brave-group/executive-coaching   ----------------------- Craving inspiration?

Send us Fan Mail In this second episode of our Loud Longings series, we explore how cravings are often about much more than food. What looks like a desire for sugar, bread, or chocolate can sometimes point to a deeper longing for comfort, safety, peace, or connection. We begin with a simple breath prayer from Psalm 139—“Search me and know me”—and invite ourselves into a posture of curiosity instead of self-judgment. Together, we discuss how emotionally charged cravings can carry memories, grief, and unmet needs, and why understanding the story behind them can open the door to greater compassion.We also share personal experiences with food and stress, reflecting on how Jesus meets us with tenderness in our places of need. Looking at His ministry around tables and His invitation as the Bread of Life and Living Water, we consider what it means to seek deeper nourishment when cravings become overwhelming.If a nostalgic craving surfaces this week, try pausing and asking, “What story is attached to this?” Then pray, “Jesus, meet me inside of this memory, meet me here.” Subscribe for the rest of this series, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and if it helps, leave a review, so more listeners can find hope and freedom.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

What if boredom isn't the problem, but the doorway to something you've been avoiding?   When drinking becomes your go-to solution for dull moments, quiet evenings, or a lack of excitement, it can seem like alcohol is what makes life interesting. But what if boredom is trying to show you something important instead?   Tune in this week to learn how to reframe boredom as a normal human emotion rather than something to fear or escape. You'll learn why modern life has trained your brain to constantly seek stimulation, how alcohol becomes part of that reward-seeking cycle, and why the more you rely on entertainment, distraction, or drinking to avoid boredom, the harder boredom can feel. You'll also discover what your brain is really craving when boredom strikes, and how learning to tolerate.   Find a personalized approach that helps you change your habit in my new book, The Ultimate Guide to Drinking Less, here: https://rachelhart.com/guide/   Discover alternative approaches to drinking less inside our membership program, Take a Break: https://rachelhart.com/tab/   Get the full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://rachelhart.com/472

Most people think emotional eating is about food — but it's actually about the nervous system. In this episode, I open with a real conversation I had with someone who was questioning whether the nervous system is actually “a thing”… until she looked it up through AI and realized just how deeply it impacts digestion, hormones, and every process in the body.That moment led into a bigger question I hear all the time:Why was none of this ever explained to us?Why have so many people spent years dieting, struggling with food, and feeling stuck… without ever being taught about the system that regulates all of it?1. The Missing Piece in Weight Loss ConversationsI explain why the nervous system is often left out of the conversation:It's misunderstoodIt's not tangible or visibleIt doesn't come with a 6-week transformation promiseIt can't be tracked on a scale or appUnlike diets or macros, nervous system regulation is invisible — which is exactly why it's been overlooked.2. The Fantasy the Diet Industry SellsMost diets sell the same idea:Lose X pounds in X weeksFollow this plan exactlyMeasure everything and get predictable resultsIt feels clear and motivating because it's tangible.But what I want you to see is this:That promise is a fantasy.Real change doesn't come from control — it comes from regulation, safety, and identity shift.3. How You Actually Measure HealingYou don't measure nervous system healing by weight loss.You measure it by patterns like:Less frequent binge or emotional eatingSmaller intensity when triggers show upFaster recovery after difficult momentsLess time stuck in emotional spiralsFeeling more in control of your responsesHealing is not linear or dramatic — it's subtle and cumulative.4. This Work Changes Everything, Not Just FoodWhen I work with my nervous system and begin making peace with food, it doesn't stop at eating patterns.I notice:I become calmer in my relationshipsI respond instead of reactI recover faster emotionallyI feel more grounded in daily lifeBecause this work is not just about food.It's about how I experience life.5. You Are the Hero of Your StoryEvery story has contrast — challenge, growth, and change.And I remind you:You don't become the hero by avoiding difficulty. You become the hero by taking ownership of your life.6. Radical Responsibility = PowerIf everything is someone else's fault, then nothing is in my control.But when I say:“This happened”“It was hard”“And I choose what I do next”That's where my power comes back online.7. Reacting vs RespondingI break down two states:Reacting:AutomaticEmotionalOld patterns running the showResponding:IntentionalGroundedConscious choiceThe goal is not to remove emotions — it's to stop being controlled by them.8. Emotions Are MessengersEmotions are not problems to eliminate.They are signals.When I stop resisting them, I can actually understand them — and choose my next step instead of being overtaken by them.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

In this episode, I explore the gut–brain connection from a completely different angle than most conversations you've probably heard.Yes, gut health matters. Yes, inflammation, dysbiosis, and digestion are important.But I also want to expand your awareness beyond food alone — because your internal state is influenced by much more than what you eat.1. Your Diet Is More Than FoodWhen I talk about “diet,” I'm not only talking about nutrition.Your diet also includes:What you watchWhat you listen toThe environments you stay inThe conversations you engage inThe people around youAnd the voice in your headAll of this becomes input into your system.So when we talk about gut health, we can't ignore the emotional, mental, and environmental inputs that are constantly shaping your internal state.2. The Gut–Brain Communication LoopYour gut and brain are in constant communication through the nervous system — especially through pathways like the vagus nerve.What I want you to understand is this:Your thoughts are not separate from your physiology.A thought can shift your internal chemistry, and your internal chemistry can reinforce your thoughts.It's a loop.3. Triggers Start the Entire Chain ReactionA trigger is anything picked up through your five senses:What you seeWhat you hearWhat you smellWhat you tasteWhat you physically feelWhen a trigger connects with a stored emotional memory, it creates a thought automatically.Most of the time, this happens without conscious awareness.4. Thought → Emotion → Body ResponseEvery thought creates a chemical response in the brain, which then influences how the body responds.That means:Thoughts of fear can shift the body into protection modeThoughts of safety can support digestion and regulationRepeated thought patterns create repeated body responsesOver time, these patterns become automatic loops.5. Conditioned Eating and Emotional LoopsMany cravings are not just about food — they are learned associations.For example:Certain foods linked to comfort in childhoodEating used as emotional regulationSmells or tastes triggering safety memoriesThese patterns are not random. They are conditioned responses your nervous system has learned over time.6. Digestion Follows State, Not Just FoodOne of the most important things I want you to understand is this:Your digestive system responds to your internal state.When the body is in stress or protection mode, digestion is not prioritized.When the body feels safe and regulated, digestion and metabolic processes function more efficiently.7. The Real Shift: Awareness Over ControlInstead of only asking:“What should I eat?”Start asking:“What is my system responding to right now?”“What triggered this shift in me?”“What pattern am I repeating unconsciously?”This is where real change begins — not in restriction, but in awareness.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

What sustains faith when prayer feels flat and God seems distant—and there's no clear tragedy to explain it? Anglican priest and former New York Times columnist Tish Harrison Warren joins Macie Bridge to talk about weariness, burnout, and the quiet middle stretches of a long spiritual life. Drawing on her new book What Grows in Weary Lands, she turns to the Desert Fathers and Mothers for a resilience that resists both flaming out and numbing out. "It felt like the call had dropped, like the line had gone dead." In this episode with Macie Bridge, Warren reflects on her own season of spiritual aridity and the ancient counsel to stay in your cell rather than escape. Together they discuss the difference between burnout and weariness, acedia and the noonday demon, perseverance, silence as countercultural practice, and the world as a womb. They explore why escape rarely heals and what it means to trust the slow work of God. Episode Highlights "It felt like the call had dropped, like the line had gone dead." "I do not think vitamin D will solve what I'm talking about." "We're not having to hold our life together in the midst of weariness with will power and duct tape." "We kind of bring Times Square with us wherever we go now." "God doesn't need me to be impressive or achieving." About Tish Harrison Warren Tish Harrison Warren is a writer and an Anglican priest. She is the author of Liturgy of the Ordinary, named Christianity Today's 2018 Book of the Year, and Prayer in the Night, which won both Christianity Today's 2022 Book of the Year and the 2022 ECPA Christian Book of the Year.

In the New Testament book of 2 Peter, there are some verses  which says the nourishment of the Word of God is something we desire. We should crave the Scripture because it provides a satisfaction that can't be found anywhere else.Main Points:1.  A newborn baby craves milk. Without this nourishment, the baby will cry. In fact, without the nourishment of the milk, the baby will not survive.  The Apostle Peter uses this contrast to teach us how important it is for believers to crave spiritual nourishment. Of course, he is speaking of the Bible, the Word of God. He says, by it, that is by the Word of God, we will grow up in our salvation.2. The key issue is desire. We must have a desire for the Scripture. It's through the pages of the Bible we come to know the author. My prayer is that we would develop a hunger for the Word of God, because we have a hunger to know God personally.3. The Scripture, for all of us, is an acquired taste. Before we came to know Jesus we had no appetite for the Word of God. We had a spiritual appetite, but we attempted to satisfy this appetite with the things of the world.  But the more we partake of scripture, the more we learn from God, and the more we apply it to our lives, the more we desire the Word.Today's Scripture Verses:2 Peter 2:1-3 - “Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.Psalm 119:97 - “Oh, how I love your law!  I meditate on it all day long.”Psalm 119:18 - “Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

“Are you a binge eater?”This is a question that often creates immediate resistance. Most people quickly say no — because the way binge eating has been defined in the past feels extreme, clinical, and far removed from their actual experience.But in this episode, I'm breaking that definition open.You're going to understand what binge eating actually is — in a way that has nothing to do with how much food you eat, and everything to do with your nervous system, your patterns, and your relationship with control.And most importantly, you will learn how to stop binge eating — not through more discipline or restriction, but by addressing what is actually driving the behavior underneath it.1. Why Most People Don't Relate to the Term “Binge Eating”Most of us were taught that binge eating looks like:Large quantities of food in one sittingLoss of control followed by purging or over-exercisingSo if that's not your experience, it's easy to dismiss the label entirely.But what if the real definition is simpler?Binge eating is any behavior where your actions are out of alignment with your intentions.2. Out of Integrity Around FoodBinge eating isn't about how much you eat.It's about moments like:“I wasn't going to eat that… but I did”Repeated snacking without awarenessEating past fullness without noticingNighttime eating you feel pulled intoWhether it happens in one sitting or throughout the day, the pattern is the same:Disconnection from intention.3. The Restriction–Binge CycleMany people unknowingly create the cycle themselves:Strict rulesHigh discipline“Being good” all weekFollowed by loss of controlThis often turns into:Cheat meals → cheat weekendsDiet → rebound eatingControl → chaosWhy?Because restriction creates scarcity, and scarcity drives urgency around food.4. Emotional Eating Is Part of the Same PatternIf you eat to regulate emotions like:StressAnxietyBoredomOverwhelmLonelinessThat is still part of the binge cycle.Because at its core, binge eating is: the movement away from discomfort and toward relief.Food becomes a tool for:NumbingEscapingSoothingDopamine relief5. This Is a Nervous System Pattern — Not a Willpower ProblemWhen you're in protection mode (fight-or-flight), your brain is wired to seek immediate relief.That means:Logic gets overriddenDiscipline becomes unreliableHabits feel automaticThis is why traditional dieting fails for so many people.6. Why Control Doesn't WorkMore structure does not fix the pattern.In fact, it often strengthens it.Because the real issue isn't food.It's the nervous system's relationship with:SafetyEmotionRegulationUntil that changes, the cycle repeats.7. The First Step to Food FreedomBefore changing what you eat, you first shift how your system responds to food.That means:Reducing urgencyRebuilding safety around eatingInterrupting the binge-response loopOnce that happens, everything changes naturally:Less obsessionMore clarityEasier choicesSustainable habits8. The Real TransformationFood freedom doesn't come from more control.It comes from: regulation → awareness → alignmentDownload my free guide, Calm the Craving: 7 Steps to Break Emotional and Binge Eating and finally end the cycle of out-of-control eating: www.sherryshaban.comWork With Sherry Shaban:Book your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call and start your journey to lasting change! www.sherryshabanfitness.com/clarityListen & SubscribeCatch more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube so you never miss an episode!Connect & Go DeeperJoin our Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.comWork with Sherry: www.sherryshaban.com/transformExplore more resources: www.makepeacewithfood.comShare Your TakeawayTag us on Instagram (@makepeacewithfoodofficial), Facebook (@MakePeaceWithFoodOfficial), TikTok (@sherryshaban), or LinkedIn (sherryshaban) and share your biggest insight from this episode!

Most self-sabotage isn't a discipline problem — it's an unconscious pattern problem. In this episode, I break down something most people struggle to see clearly: the patterns driving self-sabotage are often unconscsherryshabanvious.A lot of people know something is off — stress, emotional triggers, or repeated behaviors — but still can't trace where it's actually coming from. This episode brings clarity to that gap.Instead of trying to fix behavior at the surface level, I guide you into identifying the thought loops underneath it.Why You Can't Always See Your PatternThere's a difference between:conscious thoughts (what you notice)unconscious patterns (what actually drives behavior)Unconscious beliefs live in the nervous system and quietly shape:emotional reactionseating behaviorsrelationship patternsself-sabotage cyclesThis is why awareness alone sometimes feels incomplete — the real driver is often deeper than thought.Pattern #1: Birth Trauma (The World Feels Unsafe)This pattern shows up as an unconscious sense that the world is unsafe or unpredictable.It can look like:chronic anxiety or hypervigilanceassuming others can't be trustedfeeling unsafe in neutral environmentsapologizing for your existencefear without a clear sourceAt its core, this pattern keeps the nervous system in protection mode.Pattern #2: Parental Disapproval ConditioningThis pattern forms when approval or emotional validation felt inconsistent growing up.It can show up as:never feeling “good enough”overworking for recognitiondifficulty feeling satisfied with achievementsneeding external validation to feel secureWorth becomes tied to performance instead of inherent identity.Pattern #3: The Unconscious Death UrgeThis is the “shutdown” or withdrawal response that appears when change feels overwhelming.It sounds like:“What's the point?”“Why bother?”“Nothing will work anyway”“I've tried everything”It often appears right before growth opportunities — not because change isn't possible, but because the system is resisting effort and uncertainty.Pattern #4: Negative Thought Loops (What If Thinking)Two dominant patterns show up here:What If Down Thinking:What if it doesn't work?What if I fail?What if I get rejected?What If Up Thinking:What if it works?What if something shifts?What if I succeed?Most people live primarily in “what if down” without noticing how much it shapes behavior.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Why does the kitchen suddenly start calling my name the moment the sun goes down? In this first episode of a special two-part series, I'm diving into the real reasons nighttime eating can feel so difficult to change — and why it has far less to do with willpower than most people think. I explore how decision fatigue, emotional exhaustion, reward-seeking, and deeply ingrained habit loops all work together to make nighttime eating feel automatic. When we understand how the brain is wired, we can stop blaming ourselves and start approaching these patterns with compassion and strategy instead. I also share a powerful reframe that has helped so many people in my community: your evenings are not a problem to fix — they're a project to redesign. One rooted in self-care, self-respect, and learning how to support yourself in a different way. Whether you find yourself snacking before dinner, grazing afterward, or standing in the pantry late at night wondering how you ended up there again, this episode will help you better understand what's really going on beneath the surface — and how to begin creating lasting change. Come on in.   FREE 5-Part Night Eating Mini-Series with Hypnosis & Coaching   In This Episode, You'll Also Learn… Why willpower runs out by evening — and what to do about it. How your morning mindset is your most powerful tool against night eating. Why "just stop doing it" never works, and what actually does.   Links Mentioned in the Episode: Join my FREE Masterclass:  "How to Stop the "Start Over Tomorrow" Weight Struggle Cycle and Begin Releasing Weight for Good."

There's a voice in your head.It speaks constantly.It comments on everything.And more often than not… It's critical, harsh, and never quite satisfied.If you feel stuck in emotional eating or self-sabotage, this episode will help you understand the real reason why—and show you how to take your power back by separating from the voice in your head.1. The Voice You've Been Listening To (Without Realizing It)You are always in conversation with yourself.And that voice?Tells you you're not doing enoughMakes you feel like you're failingQuestions whether anything will ever workBut here's the shift:That voice is not trying to hurt you. It's trying to protect you.2. Protection Mode & The Nervous SystemWhen that voice gets loud:It triggers stressIt activates Protection ModeIt pulls you into reaction instead of responseAnd when you're in Protection Mode, you don't feel safe—you feel reactive and out of control.3. Reacting vs. RespondingReaction is automatic.Response is intentional.The difference?Choice.When I create space between a thought and my action…I take my power back.4. Emotional Eating Isn't the ProblemEmotional eating isn't failure.It's a coping mechanism.Food, scrolling, drinking, shopping—these were strategies your body created to support you at some point.But you get to decide if they still serve you.5. Emotional Regulation Is the Missing SkillEvery emotion carries a message.Instead of avoiding or numbing it, I can:Notice itFeel itUnderstand itRespond to it6. What Keeps You StuckIt's not lack of knowledge.It's the voice that:JudgesShamesReplays the pastKeeps you smallThe more I believe that voice… the more stuck I stay.7. The Shift That Changes EverythingI am not the voice in my head.I am the one hearing it.And when I stop engaging with it…I create space to choose differently.8. You Can't Shame Yourself Into ChangeReal change doesn't come from punishment.It comes from:AwarenessCompassionSelf-respect9. Breaking the PatternWhen I can observe:The triggerThe thoughtThe emotionThe urgeI can interrupt the cycle.That's where freedom begins.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

In this episode of Dear Sherry, I respond to a listener's honest message about constantly feeling “not enough” despite achieving goals and pushing themselves. We explore how these patterns are formed in the unconscious mind and why insight alone isn't enough to create change.

What if the reason you can't stop thinking about food has nothing to do with food at all?And what if trying to control it is actually the very thing keeping you stuck?Because what you're experiencing isn't a lack of discipline.It's your nervous system doing exactly what it's designed to do: protect you.And in this episode, I break down what that actually means in the body, why dieting intensifies the cycle, and how healing doesn't come from tighter control—but from creating safety inside the nervous system.Protection Mode and What It Really MeansWhen the body perceives stress, emotional overwhelm, or any kind of threat—whether that's trauma, pressure, or even food-related experiences—it shifts into survival.In that state, everything changes.The body begins conserving energy. Metabolism slows down. Cravings increase. And behaviors like binge eating or emotional eating can show up—not as a loss of control, but as a biological strategy to survive.Your body is not betraying you in those moments. It's adapting.Why Dieting Keeps the Cycle AliveOne of the biggest misunderstandings is thinking that dieting is the solution. But from a nervous system perspective, dieting often becomes the trigger.The body interprets restriction as scarcity. Whether that scarcity is real—like not having access to food—or imposed through calorie restriction, the response is the same: Protection Mode activates.And when this state is prolonged, even within a few days of restriction, the body begins to slow metabolism and increase the drive toward high-energy foods.Because in survival mode, the body isn't trying to be “healthy.” It's trying to survive.Why Cravings Get So IntenseThis is why cravings don't feel neutral in these moments.You don't tend to crave light or low-energy foods when your system is activated. You crave dense, high-energy foods—sugar, fats, and combinations that quickly restore fuel.It's not random. It's the body trying to bring you back into balance the fastest way it knows how.The Three Layers of Protection ModeProtection Mode isn't just physical. It shows up across all layers of experience.Physically, it can look like slowed metabolism and intense cravings. Mentally, it often shows up as overthinking and food obsession. Emotionally, it carries guilt, shame, anxiety, fear, and sadness that keep the system activated.When all three layers are engaged, it becomes very difficult to “think” your way out of it. This is why nervous system regulation is the entry point—not willpower.Safety Is the Way OutWhat begins to shift everything is not control—but safety.When I focus on regulating my nervous system instead of controlling my food, the cycle begins to soften. Safety can be created through presence, connection, slowing down, and even simple grounding experiences with pets or the environment around me.It's not about doing more. It's about signaling safety to the body in ways it can actually receive.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

The world is moving really fast. Especially for us AudDHD folks who are already trying to keep up with the demands of our “human body costume” – let alone the demands of society – merely existing can feel impossible. In this unfiltered catch-up episode with Emilia, my former 1-1 coaching client turned best friend, we share how travel wrecks our nervous systems even when it's worth it, the existential exhaustion of being neurodivergent on planet Earth, and why money can be a serious financial barrier for autistic and ADHD folks. We also get into the impossible tension of craving foods your body won't tolerate, the constant tug-of-war between ADHD wants and autistic needs, and why so many things not going to plan lately have actually been the universe nudging us to exactly where we're supposed to go. If you've ever felt like you're managing a high-maintenance inner world while everyone else seems to be existing without effort, this episode is for you. Key discussion points: Why travel is always a trade-off of your nervous system and why in-person connection can still make it worth it The existential exhaustion of being neurodivergent in a world that never slows down Money as the unspoken barrier in neurodivergent spaces, and the ethical dilemma of serving a community that often can't afford support Managing the demands of a body that needs feeding, watering, bathing, exercising (and Emilia's incredible "single parent to twins" analogy) Craving foods that satisfy sensorially but wreck you physically, and what that has to do with how we understand eating disorders in autistic people The tiny window of activities that work for both ADHD and autism simultaneously Shifting from chasing to receiving, and how the Universe lines up for you when you align with your neurodivergent soul Why things not going to plan might be the most important sign you're being redirected, and the importance of gratitude in tough times

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy dives deep into the psychology of ultra-processed foods, compulsive eating, shame, and why so many people feel trapped in unhealthy food cycles. This conversation goes far beyond calories and willpower. Dr. McCarthy explains how ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods are intentionally engineered to drive repeat consumption, how emotional memories and stress shape cravings, and why shame-based nutrition advice often makes the problem worse instead of better. Topics covered in this episode include: • How ultra-processed foods affect the brain • Why compulsive eating is learned — and can be unlearned • The connection between trauma, stress, and food cravings • The difference between guilt and shame • How marketing and emotional associations shape eating habits • Why “clean eating” language can be harmful • The neuroscience of cravings, dopamine, serotonin, and reward • What real freedom with food actually looks like • Why self-compassion matters in healing If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of emotional eating, binge eating, food guilt, or shame around nutrition, this episode is for you.  

In this episode, I share a real client story that completely reframes how we think about weight loss, hormones, and long-term transformation.This is not a story about restriction or quick fixes.It's a story about time, nervous system regulation, identity, and deep internal healing.The StoryI began working with a woman who was dealing with:PCOSPremature menopauseA history of weight cyclingPrevious use of weight-loss medicationHer goal was simple: release about 20 pounds.But what we actually focused on was not weight — it was her foundation.We started with:Regulating her circadian rhythmImproving sleep qualityAdding whole, nourishing foodsReducing reliance on fast, processed mealsSupporting her hormonal system gently and consistentlyNo extremes. No restriction. No punishment.Just consistency and safety.The Turning PointAbout six months in, progress felt slower than she expected.Her doctor then offered medication support through a GLP-1 option, fully covered.Instead of rushing into it, I offered her a different perspective:What if we simply continued?You can always choose medication later. But what if we gave your body more time to adapt, regulate, and change?So we made a simple agreement: six more months of consistency.What I Teach Instead of Quick FixesThis is where most people misunderstand the process.They want speed. But the body requires safety first.I often explain it like this:If you're starting your health journey in a dysregulated state, it's like starting a business while in debt.Before growth happens, you need to return to zero.What “Zero” Actually MeansZero is not a number on a scale.It is a state where:You are emotionally regulatedYou are no longer using food to cope, numb, or escapeYou make conscious, grounded decisionsFood is no longer about control or restrictionThis is the foundation everything else is built on.The TransformationTwo years later, here's what happened:She released over 60 poundsShe never used GLP-1 medicationShe exercised less, not moreShe prioritized sleep over intense early-morning workoutsShe processed deep emotional wounds tied to divorce and fertility griefShe completely shifted her identityAnd the weight loss?That became a side effect — not the goal.The Real Root CauseWhat actually drove her eating wasn't food.It was:Unprocessed emotional painIdentity rooted in struggleNervous system dysregulationOnce those were addressed, her need to use food as a coping mechanism naturally faded.Identity ShiftShe stopped seeing herself as:Someone who can't lose weightSomeone stuck because of her diagnosisAnd became:Someone who nourishes her bodySomeone with boundariesSomeone who leads her choices consciouslyThat shift changed everything.My Perspective on GLP-1sI don't see tools like GLP-1 medications as good or bad.I see them as tools.They may support some people, especially as a bridge — but they are not a replacement for:emotional healingnervous system regulationidentity workbehavior changeAnd they come with risks that must be understood before use.Struggling with emotional or binge eating?

Joe Lindsley is a traveller and a writer, and American reporting on Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the Coronavirus shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.----------LINKS:https://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/donation/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lindsleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lindsley-60087618/https://www.youtube.com/@jplindsleyhttps://twitter.com/JPLindsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/jplindsley/https://www.facebook.com/josephlindsleyhttps://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/ ----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN: We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

What if the real reason you feel bloated, exhausted, and stuck in a cycle of cravings… isn't your willpower—but your gut? In this episode, Colleen Cutcliffe joins Lindsey to break down the hidden power of your gut microbiome—and why 95% of us are missing one critical nutrient: fiber. From metabolism + energy to mood, cravings, and even longevity, your gut is running the show behind the scenes. Colleen reveals how your microbiome directly impacts GLP-1, your brain chemistry, and your body's ability to function at its highest level—naturally. If you're navigating stress, burnout, hormone shifts, or simply trying to feel better in your body, this episode is your blueprint. You'll walk away with simple, realistic “life hacks” to optimize your gut health, boost your energy, and finally break the cycle of inflammation, cravings, and fatigue. We also talk about: Why only 5% of Americans get enough fiber (and how it's impacting your health) How your gut microbiome affects mood, anxiety, and brain chemistry The truth about fiber supplements vs. whole foods Why processed foods + alcohol quietly damage your gut The surprising link between fiber, gut health, and colon health How stress destroys your microbiome (and how to fix it) Easy daily “gut health hacks” for busy women in their 30s What to do after antibiotics to rebuild your gut properly Resources: https://www.instagram.com/drcolleencutcliffe/ https://www.instagram.com/pendulumlifeco/ https://pendulumlife.com/collections/almost30 https://pendulumlife.com/products/gut-fuel-pouch https://pendulumlife.com/products/gut-fuel-packets Use Code ALMOST30 for 20% off Gut Fuel and your first subscription order Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your first order.

I did something I've been called to do for a long time. I went to Dr. Joe Dispenza's seven-day retreat -- and honestly, I'm still integrating everything that happened. This week's episode is me pulling back the curtain and sharing the whole experience. The meditations, the surrender, the healing stories I witnessed, and the moments I genuinely cannot explain but know were real. Including this: 99.99% of reality is not physical matter. It's energy in the quantum field. We are literally only seeing .01% of what's real.  Mind glown. ✨ What Dr. Joe teaches about heart-brain coherence is something I also weave into my Intuitive Life Designer® Coach Academy, because I've seen it work. It is a practical, embodied doorway to healing. And I watched people walk through it in real time. Including me.   During the HeartMath one-day event in Sedona January, 2020.  Sometimes the most sacred conversations happen in parking lots.

What do you do when you're alone? When you're scared, anxious, lonely, or afraid, when you feel strong craving? What do you turn to? In this episode, we look at where our mind runs when we feel pain, when we don't feel balanced or whole. We'll examine the Buddhist view on this subject that reveals a deep source of strength and support within our own minds accessible to each of us any time we need it.Episode 14:  What do You do When You're Alone? [re-record]This Earth Day, I'll be sitting down with one of the most inspiring voices on climate and the future—author Kim Stanley Robinson—for a live online conversation hosted by UC Berkeley's School of Journalism.We'll explore how his work offers real hope in the face of the climate crisis—a chance to imagine not just what could go wrong—but what could go right.It's free, April 22nd at 5:30pm Pacific.

We have been threatening to be matchmakers with a listener for years, but we finally think we found the right candidate to set up on dates. Loyal Brainiac, Sarah's iPad, is going to be the perfect gal to set up. She's smart, funny, pretty, and nice, and we need you all to help us find a match. We also talk to Harvard-trained clinical psychologist and Hily Dating App expert, Dr. Sabrina Romanoff about dating in the digital era, the advantages and challenges of online dating, and how to find a good partner. Plus, we look at the data from the Hily Dating App T.R.U.T.H Report to learn what young people look for in a partner, how spirituality helps them make sense of rejection and compatibility, and why young daters are looking for authenticity over perfection in their dates.00:00 - Recovering from Plant Casualties and Embracing Spring08:20 - Setting Up Sarah's iPad with Dating Criteria12:00 - Debating the Importance of Height in Dating15:55 - The Art of Partners Taking Good Photos19:23 - Why Men Love Candid Photos of Their Partners22:58 - Passport Photos and the Craving for Realness25:25 - Dr. Sabrina Romanoff on Hily Truth Report28:17 - The Paradox of Choice and Dating Exhaustion31:08 - Debunking the 'High Value' Dating Myth33:19 - The Emptiness of Relationships Based on Optics36:29 - Craving Authenticity in the Digital Age38:49 - Using Astrology to Navigate Dating Rejection42:44 - Understanding Rejection as Incompatibility, Not Failure46:10 - Sarah's Journey to Self-Focus and Attraction49:20 - Men vs. Women: Quantity vs. Quality in Dating52:00 - The Impact of Inappropriate Compliments in Dating57:39 - Teaching Others How You Want to Be Treated01:00:19 - Why Women Are Obsessed with Tall Men01:05:50 - Infatuation vs. Finding the Right Partner01:09:09 - The Shift to Online Dating and Al's Role01:12:30 - Sarah's Journey to Authentic Dating Profiles01:16:20 - Concluding Thoughts and Guest InformationBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:If you'd like to try the HILY Dating App, you can Download it from the App Store and or Google Play.Or simply checkout their website here for more details: https://hily.go.link/4iJ1lTDM-RESERVATION: 1.
