How I avoided burnout (when things were awful.) I was an ER doctor in 2020, and it was crazy. The pandemic hit.? The ER was packed. I saw awful things: —Folks struggling to breathe. —Kids dying before their parents. —People wishing for more time here. Healthcare workers quit. I wondered if I would make it. We didn’t understand the virus. But experts were offering opinions. And everyone was a scientist. Then something hit me. Something had to change, so I: —Hired a coach. —Learned stress management. —Studied the science of wellness. Focused on what I could control. I couldn't take care of others. Until I took care of myself. Ladies, the same is true for you. If you're burnt out. Your family WILL feel it. The truth is. You’re no good, burnt out. Although you want to push through.

Yesterday, I worked out. And you're probably thinking—"Okay… and?" But earlier, I had an allergic reaction. Throat burning. Coughing. All after breakfast. It was like the second I made the plan. Something tried to stop me. And that’s precisely what I hear from my clients. “I start strong, but then stress takes over.” “I try to plan my meals, but it’s exhausting.” “I do everything ‘right’ and still feel stuck.” Yesterday was just an example. The only difference between me today. And me five years ago? A coach. It wasn’t willpower. Because back then, I would’ve been doom-scrolling. Telling myself I’ll start fresh tomorrow. But the problem with tomorrow? It turns into next week. Next month. Next year. And after coaching so many women, I see the patterns. The things we tell ourselves when we feel stuck: ? “I’ll start over when things calm down.” ? “If I can’t do it perfectly, why bother?” ? “I just need more discipline.” But what if you didn’t have to keep starting over? What if there was one small action you could take today? Take a 10-minute walk after lunch. Carve out time for yourself. Do that. Because action. Not just intention—is the key. And if no one has told you yet. You’re allowed to put yourself first. You’re allowed to keep going. Because every action builds momentum. And momentum is what changes everything. What’s one thing you're doing for yourself today? PS:) If you want to stop stress eating, boost your metabolism, and lose weight effortlessly.

"You just need more willpower." I used to believe that. I told myself I wasn’t trying hard enough. That if I could handle life-or-death decisions in the ER. I should be able to handle my cravings. So I pushed harder. Tracked every bite. Worked out more. Tried every diet. And still, when stress hit. I’d find myself in front of the fridge. Eating not because I was hungry. But because I was exhausted. Overwhelmed. Numb. And then came the shame. Why couldn’t I just have more discipline? Here’s what I finally learned. Emotional eating has ZERO to do with willpower. It’s a habit. A way to self-soothe. A coping mechanism. And like any habit, it can be unlearned. The first step? Recognizing that food isn’t the enemy. Your patterns are. Once I saw that, everything changed. If you’re stuck in the cycle, listen to me. You’re not weak. You’re just human. And humans can change. You don’t need more willpower. You need a new way to cope. And the moment you stop blaming yourself. and start rewiring your patterns. Magic happens. That’s when you take your power back. I’m rooting for you.

Most women don’t realize they’re emotional eaters. Because it: Sneaks in. A bad day. Was a stressful moment. A fight with your partner. And suddenly, you’re in front of the fridge. Not hungry. Just... searching. Food isn’t fuel anymore. It’s comfort. It’s control. It’s escape. And that’s the trap. You eat. Feel guilty. Promise yourself it won’t happen again. But it does. Not because you’re weak. Not because you lack willpower. But because food is filling a void. So how do you break free? First, know the signs. It might be: Eating when you’re not hungry. Craving specific foods (usually sugar or carbs). Feeling guilt. Or shame after eating. You might even hide what you eat. If that sounds like you. Here's what I know. Diets won’t fix this. More discipline won’t fix this. Shame definitely won’t fix this. But one slight shift will help. Next time you reach for food. Pause. Ask yourself. Am I hungry, or am I hurting?
