EPISODE 121: The 3 Types of Overeating (And Why They Each Require a Different Solution)

You can't solve a problem you haven't correctly identified.

That's exactly why so many smart, successful women stay stuck in the cycle of overeating, guilt, and starting over on Monday. They're trying to fix the behavior without understanding what's actually driving it.

In this episode, Coach Steph and I break down the three most common overeating patterns we see in women: emotional eating, binge eating, and habitual overeating. Because while they can look similar on the surface, they're very different problems—and each requires a different solution.

We'll help you identify what's really happening when you overeat so you can stop blaming your willpower and start making changes that actually last.
