You can improve well-being by shifting focus to controllable aspects of your life. 
 
What if what you are trying to control right now is actually out of your control? 
 
Think about a time when you tried to control something that was out of your control. How did that feel emotionally and in your body? 
 
In this episode, we dive into the surprising ways you may have more influence over your life than you realize. We’ll explore how shifting your focus to the things you can actively shape, rather than getting caught up in what’s beyond your reach, can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Whether it's controlling your diet, body shape, or other people's behavior (hint: you can’t), this episode will guide you to refocus your energy on what really matters.

Understanding what’s in your control vs. what isn’t.
The “Post-It Note” tool for prioritizing and differentiating between what you can and can’t control.

Ever find yourself daydreaming about chocolate or craving those salty chips like there's no tomorrow? You're not alone! 
 
In this episode we're dishing out the real talk on food cravings—why they happen and what we can do about them. From understanding the difference between physical and emotional hunger, to sharing tips that actually work (and a few that don't), we’re covering it all.

Emotions and Cravings: Stress, boredom, and emotions play a huge role in what we reach for in the pantry. 
Is there a perfect diet? Spoiler alert: NO!
