In this episode of the Too Much on Her Plate podcast, I’m sharing the journey of “Marie” (not her real name), a smart, successful professional woman who struggled with overeating, stress eating, and feeling like food was controlling her (sound familiar?).

Marie’s story is a perfect example of how deeply ingrained deprivation thinking and diet culture can keep us stuck in a frustrating cycle of overeating, self-blame, and defeat. Like so many women, Marie believed that success with food required willpower, motivation, and discipline—but none of it was working.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why Marie’s overeating wasn’t about food at all—and why yours might not be either.
• The role stress plays in driving overeating and why ignoring this connection keeps you stuck.
• The first essential question to ask yourself to start creating freedom from overeating.
• How Marie shifted from relying on food for stress relief and reward to addressing her Hidden Hungers.
• Why ditching the all-or-nothing mindset and taking small, consistent steps can create dramatic results.
