The UNFILTERED Empowered Woman Podcast

You don’t binge because you’re weak.
And you’re not “failing” at weight loss.
You’re stuck in survival mode.
In this episode, I break down:
• why binge eating is a nervous system response
• how chronic stress keeps weight stuck
• why discipline doesn’t work when your brain doesn’t feel safe
• and how regulation changes both food behaviour and body composition
This isn’t about eating less.
It’s about feeling safe enough to choose differently.

In this episode I'm giving you a sneak peek into the modules of TEW, and this is a module I just added on Comparison.

If comparison makes you want to binge, scroll, or “start again Monday” — this is for you.
It’s not because you’re weak.
It’s because comparison hits your self-worth, not your motivation.
The moment you compare your body, discipline, or progress to someone else, your nervous system hears:
“I’m not enough.”
“I’m behind.”
“I need to fix this.”

If you’ve been beating yourself up for “not having discipline,” read that again.

You’re not binging because you’re weak — you’re binging because your nervous system is stuck in survival mode.
Chronic stress rewires your brain to react, not choose… so of course you lose control around food, feel guilty, and still can’t stop.
It’s not a you-problem. It’s a regulated-nervous-system problem.
And when you fix the real root, everything changes — the urges calm down, the guilt dissolves, and you finally feel in control again.

You swear you’ll “get back on track” after the holidays…
But suddenly it’s mid-January and you’re still eating like it’s Christmas Day.
You’re not broken. You’re not weak.
Your nervous system is just stuck in binge mode — and it doesn’t magically reset when the tree comes down.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
✨ Why that “I’ll start Monday” loop hits even harder after the holidays
✨ What’s really happening in your body that keeps you reaching for food
✨ And how to stop the post-Christmas binge spiral — without restriction or guilt
If you’ve been feeling out of control since December, this one’s for you.

Why do you keep ending up with the exact thing you’re trying to avoid?
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the Black Coffee Theory — a simple analogy that explains why self-sabotage, binge cycles, and “starting over” keep repeating… even when you’re motivated and self-aware.
If you’re constantly thinking:
• “I don’t want to binge”
• “I don’t want to mess this up”
• “I don’t want to start over again”
Your brain may be locking onto the problem instead of moving you toward the solution.
In this episode, we talk about:
✨ why avoidance-based goals backfire
✨ how the brain actually filters information
✨ why this isn’t a willpower issue
✨ and how to start clearly choosing what you do want
This one is about clarity, not positivity.
And once you hear it, you’ll never phrase your goals the same way again ☕️
