In this episode, Alana unpacks how modern conveniences - especially smartphones, food delivery apps, instant access, and constant stimulation - could be making emotional overeating more likely to show up in your daily life. She explores how boredom has been removed from daily life, how the gap between wanting something and getting it has closed and why that missing friction matters so much when it comes to food. This episode is for the woman trying to lose weight sustainably who keeps blaming herself for “automatic” overeating, when the deeper issue may be that her nervous system has been trained to expect fast relief from every uncomfortable feeling.
