HOOKED AFTER THE FIRST BITE: The Breakup You Didn’t Know You Needed—with Sugar and Her Junky Friends

SE REESE - AUTHOR, COACH

I’ve been in a decades-long love affair—with cookies, candy, and all things sweet. From baking to bingeing, sugar had me wrapped around her sticky little finger. Maybe you know the feeling? Welcome to Hooked After the First Bite—a lighthearted but honest look at what happens when we finally decide to break up with sugar and her junky friends (yes, I’m looking at you, ultra-processed snacks). Fourteen years ago, I walked away from that toxic relationship and changed the trajectory of my life. I'm here to help you do the same. Because life is too sweet to stay stuck in the sugar maze.

    THE DAY YOU STOPPED SAYING, ”I'LL START TOMORROW" | EP 002

    How many times have you promised yourself, “I’ll start Monday”? Next week. Next month. After the chaos calms down. After the vacation. After the stress. In this short but honest episode, SE Reese reminds you that healing and change don’t live in some perfect future version of you — they begin in one tiny, loving moment today. No strict plan. No magic Monday. Just one breath of honesty and a choice made from love, not shame. You don’t need to wait for the perfect day — because the person who changes your life isn’t the future you. It’s the you who chooses again and again to show up, right in the middle of the mess. Listen in and remember:Healing doesn’t happen tomorrow. It happens in the thousands of todays where you keep choosing yourself. ✨ Grab your free one-minute reset page — The Moment That Changes Everything — and choose today, one moment at a time.
