Emotional Eating, Ditching Food Rules and Why You Don’t Need to Earn Your Brownie (and Never Did) with Jess Suchan, Holistic Health & Mindset Coach
274: “I am so sick of being a shell of myself. I don't like my personality right now. If I'm going out to a club and dancing or going for brunch with my friends, I'm not present. I'm calculating the calories in my head. I'm thinking about what I should do later. I don't even know what we're laughing about because I'm in my head.” ~ Jess Suchan
Ever feel like eating a buttery, flakey croissant means you’ve committed a crime and could go straight to jail? In this episode, Chelsea sits down with holistic health coach Jess Suchan to chat about food freedom, carb fears, and why you don’t need to earn your brownie with 40 minutes on the Stairmaster or a grueling Barry’s Bootcamp class.
Episode themes:
- Ditching the all-or-nothing diet mindset and building trust with your body again
- Why following someone else’s health plan is like wearing their prescription glasses
- How fear of carbs and “food morality” are silently draining your joy (and your energy)
- The real science behind digestion, stress, and serotonin — yes, carbs boost your mood!!! Rejoice!
- Why emotional eating isn’t the villain — and what “soul food” really means
This episode is your official permission slip to stop micromanaging every bite. BYE BYE tracking every possible macro, calorie and barcode. If you’re still scared of cheesy pasta or just tired of calorie math at bottomless brunch, Jess offers a softer, smarter way forward: build trust, invite joy, and eat the freaking croissant!!!
