Ever catch yourself doing the same self-sabotaging behaviors over and over again—like emotional eating, stress snacking, or wasting hours on the couch instead of taking action? In this episode, I break down the four stages of awareness that will help you recognize and stop these destructive patterns before they take over.

You’ll learn:

• Why you keep repeating the same behaviors (even when you don’t want to).
• How to move from retroactive awareness (realizing after the fact) to mastery (stopping it before it starts).
• The power of pattern interruption—and why small, intentional changes can break lifelong habits.
• Simple techniques, including journaling, thought-challenging, and environment shifts, to rewire your brain for success.

This episode isn’t just about weight loss—it’s about regaining control over your mind and your life. If you’re ready to stop getting in your own way and start seeing real change, this is the episode for you.
