152: Executive Coaching for Wellness and Well-being16 oct. 202400:16:51

How can you be so smart and successful in multiple areas of your life and be going in circles with overeating and your weight? Why is it that you know how to solve so many problems, but every Monday you’re facing down the same old personal challenges with stress, or overwhelm, overeating, and the scale? It’s not just you. In what’s probably a familiar refrain from me, I’m here to tell you that one part of the problem is that you’ve been given a puzzle that’s missing some pieces. Because I believe it’s essential to fill in these blank spots, I’ve developed a new answer to the question, “What is it that you do?” In this episode, I’m going to share it with you.

In this episode:

  • Executive coaching - what’s missing too much of the time
  • Why wellness coaching might not work for you
  • Cultural biases for seeking help in only certain areas
  • Performing and being a leader for your wellness and well-being

This episode is about why small steps are the answer to breaking emotional eating habits, why they are so hard to take, and why your plan to end overeating cycles should focus on building consistency with do-able steps instead of big, dramatic lifestyle changes or diets (which we know don’t work).

In this episode:

  • The benefits of small steps
  • Restoring your trust in yourself

145: Procrastination vs. Permanent Results14 août 202400:22:43

It’s one thing to want to stop overeating or to want to lose weight. It’s another thing to figure out a way to make that happen. In between, it’s easy to get stuck in a pattern of starting food plans that aren’t sustainable, or of being frozen by overwhelm because of the distance between your current situation and your goal.

In this episode:

  • The pros and cons of seeing the big picture
  • Why plans to change your overeating can lead to overeating
  • Focusing on the goal vs. focusing on the habit

144: Overwhelm & Overeating: When Doing Your Best is Burning You Out07 août 202400:20:08

You’re someone who’s used to giving your all - and more. It’s led to a great career and a fair amount of success, but it’s also the cause of stress, overwhelm, and overeating. There’s a reason you curl up with a bag of chips at the end of the day - it’s because you left it all out on the field and didn’t get much for yourself. In situations like this, overeating or bingeing or constant snacking can become the glue that holds your high-performing life together. So what’s a high-achiever to do? Do you have to sacrifice doing your best to end your overeating habit? Do you have to start “settling” and stop “doing your best”?

In this episode:

  • Doing your best: what it really means
  • The over-functioning trap
  • The circle of best
  • The error that makes doing your best a trap for burnout, stress, and overeating
  • How to do and be your best AND be unstoppable

140: Greatest Hits of Summer: Declare Your Freedom From Diets and Overeating03 juil. 202400:26:33

Freedom from overeating isn’t just a catchy phrase or a diet in disguise. Freedom is the feeling that most women I talk to are craving. Freedom from feeling haunted by cravings. By sugar. By the scale. Freedom from having four sizes of pants in their closet. Freedom from waking up every morning wondering if it’s going to be a “good day” or a “bad day” with food and their weight. Freedom from having thoughts about food, about eating, about losing weight, and about “being good” taking up SO much room in their brains.

As a part of the Greatest Hits of Summer series, I’m rereleasing this important episode where I share more about what freedom really is and what it takes to achieve freedom from overeating in a lasting way.

In this episode:

  • Recognizing the need for a personalized approach
  • Moving beyond short-term fixes
  • Embracing trial-and-error and imperfection
  • The importance of a supportive community

139: Greatest Hits of Summer: Peace with Food on Vacation26 juin 202400:24:20

This episode was originally published as Episode 44. I’m bringing it back because I get SO many questions about how to plan for eating (and not overeating) on vacation.

I’m a huge believer in vacations, but you shouldn’t have to take a vacation from your relationship with food. Unfortunately, many smart, busy women feel like they do. The culprit: diet mentality, and thoughts and beliefs you might not even know you have.

What I cover in this episode:

  • How diet mentality makes your thoughts about vacation eating complicated
  • The two thoughts that sabotage our eating on vacation
  • How to enjoy your vacation and honor your goals (if you want to)
  • Why freedom from overeating isn’t a cheat day or depriving yourself on vacation (and how to figure out what it IS for you)

138: Transitions, Overeating, and Overwhelm - and Doing Things Differently12 juin 202400:20:08

In this episode, I’m sharing what I discovered about how I handle (and don’t handle) transitions before and after a vacation, the unnecessary drama and stress I have created in the past, and what I’m experimenting with to take my power back from overwhelm and to break automatic habits that often lead to overeating.

In this episode:

  • Why transitions are often a major time for overeating, emotions eating, and mindless eating
  • My brain drama (that you might share or relate to)
  • Why not managing a transition can lead to procrastination, overwork, or numbing
  • An experiment for breaking autopilot habits like overeating during transitions

132: How to Interrupt Emotional Eating in 60 Seconds08 avr. 202400:23:00

This week’s podcast episode is about a breathing technique that you can use to interrupt emotional eating, overeating, and even a binge. What does breathing have to do with ending overeating? A lot. If you’re an emotional eater or a stress eater or someone who overeats on autopilot, you know how frustrating it can be to try to change habits that feel deeply ingrained - even automatic. You’ve likely had experiences where, despite your best efforts or intentions, overeating habits have kicked in without much conscious thought. When you’re stressed or overwhelmed or anxious, reaching for something to eat might feel like the natural, easy response. How do you interrupt emotional eating when it’s a habitual reaction?

I have a tool that can help. The best part is, you can access it anywhere, it’s free, and you can make an impact in as little as 60 seconds. Let’s talk about PACE breathing, how to use it, and why it helps (even if you do a lousy job of it).

In this episode:

  • The power of breathing to interrupt emotional eating
  • Your stress response vs. the PACE process
  • How and why to do PACE breathing

You’d have to be superhuman not to have internalized some or all of these beliefs and influences. This episode is about how to break the cycle.

In this episode:

  • The shame/guilt/overeating cycle
  • Getting off the hamster wheel
  • Self-compassion and shame
  • Letting help in

130: When You’re Mindless Eating at the Same Time Every Day27 mars 202400:18:48

You’ve probably been there. You walk in the door and you head to the kitchen. You hit “end meeting” on a work call and you go for a snack. You finish up dinner and all that you want to do in the kitchen and then you circle back for one more little thing before you leave.

I’ve talked about transitions before on the podcast. In this episode, I’m sharing why your power to break overeating habits may lie in finding new ways to switch gears.

In this episode:

  • Why you might mindlessly eat at the same time every day (and not feel able to break the habit)
  • What to know about switching gears and overeating
  • What you want vs. what you don’t want

129: Fighting Cravings: When You Don’t Want to Overeat and Yet You Do20 mars 202400:22:46

Struggles with food and eating take up a lot of mental space. I frequently hear from women who desperately want to put an end to all the drama, the thinking about what and when to eat, and would give a lot to be able to create mental peace with food. If you want to understand what freedom from overeating really is, it’s important to understand cognitive dissonance and the mental tricks your brain might be using that are keeping you stuck.


In this episode:

  • Cognitive dissonance and internal struggles with eating
  • How we cope with cognitive dissonance and wanting to overeat (and also wanting to change our eating)
  • Mindless eating or eating to numb as a coping mechanism
  • Respecting vs. gaslighting your cognitive dissonance about overeating and emotional eating

128: Diet Mentality Ick - A Rant13 mars 202400:16:11

Whether you choose to or not, it’s difficult to be a woman and not be continually exposed to the assumptions and stresses of diet mentality and deprivation thinking. Recently I experienced a few instances when I was surprised by diet thinking and beliefs and the stress that goes along with them. These experiences, that I’ll share with you, definitely highlight the difference between pursuing freedom from overeating vs. working to get “in control” of it. This episode also covers the difference between advice and support and the way that requests for support might be eliciting the opposite of what you need to end struggles with overeating.

In this episode:

  • Going out to lunch with someone - and the stories they were telling themselves about me
  • When weight loss “support” completely misses the mark
  • Advice vs. support
  • The role of compassion in healing that so many experts miss

124: Q&A Can You Be “Delighted” By Small Portion Sizes?14 févr. 202400:21:14

Fiona has a great question: “How can I feel delighted with small portion sizes, rather than feeling robbed, disheartened, and treated badly.” Q&A episodes are some of my favorites, because there’s a lot to be learned from a question - and there’s a lot to unpack in this one. In this episode I’m answering Fiona’s question and also tackling some important aspects of making changes to the way that you eat - whether you are adjusting your portions or trying something else. 

In this episode:

  • Is choosing “small portions” helpful at all?
  • Why any change you make to your eating is going to require an adjustment period.
  • What to pay attention to before you even begin to change portions.
  • How to create more delight - whatever change you’re making to your eating.

122: Counterintuitive Advice to Stop Overeating31 janv. 202400:27:40

What if I told you that sometimes trusting your intuition won’t help you break overeating habits? In fact, there are ways that your brain as well as your thoughts and beliefs will actually mislead you - even when you’re determined to stop emotional eating or end a habit of eating too much junk food or using food for self-care. You can retrain your brain. You can build new habits. You CAN create peace with food and freedom from overeating. Sometimes it requires counterintuitive steps and approaches. In this episode I’m sharing some unexpected advice on how to make ending overeating easier and how to create new habits that last with some counterintuitive advice.

In this episode:

  • Focusing beyond what to eat and when
  • Starting small
  • How your brain resists what works (and why)
  • The problem with habit stacking
  • Accountability isn’t always helpful
  • Avoiding fake positivity

121: Short-circuit Emotional Eating With These Smart Tactics24 janv. 202400:24:54

When you’re trying to stop emotional eating, your brain’s default strategy is to focus on “not doing it” or coming up with an alternative to-do list - things to do instead of eating. While this can be helpful, it’s important to remember that sometimes your urge to go have a snack is triggered by already having too many things to do! In this episode of the Too Much on Her Plate podcast, I’m covering tactics that go beyond doing more things or relying on willpower or distraction. The strategies in this episode will help shift you, your brain, and your behaviors toward what you really need to take your power back from food.

In this episode:

  • 5 smart things to do instead of emotional eating
  • Why your brain will resist these tactics
  • How to become more anchored and present so you can make better decisions about eating and taking care of yourself
  • The brave step of seeking support

Before you jump into January goal setting mode or dive into another plan to change overeating habits or end emotional eating, it’s always helpful to reflect on what you already know, what works for you, and what you’ve learned from attempts to stop overeating that haven’t worked.

106: Tactics To Avoid Stress Eating When You’re Busy or Overwhelmed04 oct. 202300:24:04

When you’re at capacity, when you’re already stressed, and when your bandwidth is all used up is NOT the time to try to implement a brand new ten-step plan.

In this episode of the Too Much on Her Plate podcast I have a variety of doable tactics to help set you up to avoid stress eating when you’re busy or overwhelmed.

In this episode:

  • Tactics to help you avoid mindless eating, eating to numb or stress eating when you’ve got a lot going on
  • The importance of keeping it simple
  • Why pre planning or forethought is especially valuable in these situations
  • How perfectionism can trip you up (and a tactic for that!)
