Have you ever noticed how easy it can be to find a reason to eat?

A great day.

A hard day.

Stress.

Celebration.

Exhaustion.

In this episode, we explore emotional eating, stress eating, and what I call the “deserve it” mentality. Whether we realize it or not, this is quietly undermining our relationship with food and long-term results

Using real client examples, we explore how the same mindset shows up whether you’re celebrating success or struggling with stress … and why both lead to the same outcome when food becomes the reward, relief, or escape.

This episode isn’t about restriction or shame.

It’s about awareness, honesty, and choosing a better framework — one that supports real freedom instead of keeping you stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

1. What the “deserve it” mentality really is (and why it’s so common)
2. How “deserve it” shows up during both success and stress
3. Why earning food through exercise, dieting, or emotional suffering backfires
4. Why “deserve” vs “don’t deserve” is a trap either way
5. What it looks like to move from a deserve-it mindset to a freedom mindset

WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR:

1. Anyone who eats “because they deserve it” — for good days or bad ones
2. People who feel stuck in cycles of reward, guilt, and restarting
3. Those who use food to cope with stress, overwhelm, or emotions
4. Anyone working to rebuild a healthier relationship with food
5. Those who want freedom, not food rules

This is the kind of work I do with my clients — learning how to unlink food and emotions, break unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more honest relationship with food.

Over the last few episodes, we talked about why dieting stops working, how people outgrow the all-or-nothing approach, and what sustainable change actually looks like in real life.

In a nutshell, we discussed Rebuilding vs Restarting.

In this episode, we zoom out.

Because rebuilding isn’t a phase or a series we’re “done” with — it’s the foundation underneath everything else.

You’ll learn how the Rebuilder mindset changes the way you approach food, habits, mindset, and consistency… and how this lens carries forward into everything we talk about next and everything you do when it comes to losing weight.

What You’ll Learn

1. Why rebuilding isn’t something you move on from
2. How the Rebuilder lens changes “normal” nutrition and habit advice
3. Why calm, steady progress is a feature — not a flaw
4. How rebuilding supports real life instead of fighting it
5. What it means to stop restarting for good

We’ll also cover . . .

1. Why rebuilding mattered so much
2. What rebuilding is (and what it isn’t)
3. How rebuilding becomes your operating system
4. Applying rebuilding to food, habits, and mindset
5. Where coaching can fit in

This Episode Is For . . .

1. People done with extreme diets
2. Listeners who resonated with the Rebuilder series
3. Anyone who wants sustainable change without all-or-nothing
4. Those ready to apply rebuilding to everyday life

We'll cover:

1. Why most plans fail under real-life pressure
2. Floors vs ceilings (and why this matters)
3. Tiny habits vs strict rules
4. The “busy week test”
5. How Rebuilders recover instead of restart

There’s something I say nearly every episode. I say it because I believe it. But the other day, I was listening to a different podcast and someone said - “I know greatness is coming your way!”

At first, I really appreciated that. He’s really supporting and encouraging people. Heck yeah, I love that! But then I thought about it a bit more … and it bothered me.

It bothered me because he doesn’t know what’s coming your way. He doesn’t know me. He doesn’t know you. He doesn’t know what life’s going to bring us.

And then I thought about what I say nearly every episode. Am I doing the same thing? Am I just offering empty, hyped up motivation? Am I lying to you??

After thinking through things, I don’t believe so. And I want to explain why right here and right now.
