If you've ever found yourself in front of the pantry after a long day, wondering why am I doing this again?, this episode is for you. Inspired by a real text from a friend, Annie and Jen tackle a deeply relatable topic: emotional eating when life feels overwhelming.

Whether it's stress, exhaustion, parenting, work, the state of the world—or all of the above—many women turn to food for comfort. Annie and Jen explain why that happens and how to begin shifting out of the emotional eating loop even when your bandwidth feels microscopic. With practical tools and compassionate honesty, this episode offers a new perspective on what it actually looks like to love yourself when life is hard.
