In today’s episode, I’m diving into something you probably don’t hear about very often: how your professional success (or any kind of success) might actually be leading you to overeat.
I know it sounds strange at first, but after working with hundreds of high-achieving women (and experiencing this myself), I’ve seen this pattern play out over and over again. Success brings pressure, long to-do lists, high expectations, and constant busyness. And when we’re always “on,” food often becomes the one outlet we allow ourselves… whether as a reward, a quick escape, or simply because we’re running on empty.
Here’s what I cover in this episode:
- Why success-driven overeating is sneakier than you think
- How skipping meals all day leads to overeating at night
- The real reason we use food as a “reward” (and how to break that cycle)
- Why relying on coffee and forgetting to eat disconnects you from your hunger cues
- How perfectionism keeps you stuck in the all-or-nothing cycle
This episode is an eye-opener, and I promise it will help you create awareness around your own patterns so you can finally change them. You are not “addicted to food” or “lacking willpower” — your brain is simply seeking relief, and together we’ll explore healthier ways to give it what it needs.
If you’ve ever found yourself overeating after a long, stressful day or telling yourself “I deserve this” after a big win, this one is for you.
