In this minisode, Sherry Shaban delves into the heart of emotional eating, offering insights and strategies for overcoming this common challenge. She dispels the myth that conquering emotional eating is about willpower or finding the perfect diet, instead directing listeners to consider their emotional landscape as the foundation for change.

Sherry opens up about the pitfalls of relying on discipline to beat emotional eating, emphasizing that emotional triggers can easily derail such efforts, leading to a cycle of guilt and frustration. Sherry shares that we can begin to heal our relationship with food by understanding and decoding our emotional triggers. She breaks down human behavior into its drive towards pleasure and away from pain, describes how various emotions like sadness, fear, anger, and joy can lead to emotional eating, and offers a pathway to identifying and addressing these underlying issues.
