If you can hold it together all day—and then feel like everything falls apart at night—this episode is for you.

Nighttime bingeing isn’t a character flaw. It’s usually what happens when pressure exceeds capacity at the end of the day. In this episode, Georgie breaks down the most common drivers of nighttime binges (and why they often stack), then gives you a practical “match the tool to the mechanism” menu so you can experiment with small changes that actually shift your evenings.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why nighttime bingeing is rarely about willpower—and more often about state
• The 4 most common drivers of nighttime binges
• A simple in-the-moment check-in to identify what’s driving tonight’s urge
• A “Solutions Menu” with experiments you can try this week—without turning it into a new perfection project
• A quick script for when you catch yourself in the pantry on autopilot

Show Notes:
As things start to feel steadier, a new fear often shows up: If I’m not white-knuckling this, am I doing enough? In this episode, we talk about why calm can feel unfamiliar when effort has been your survival strategy—and how real recovery looks more like stabilization than intensity.

We’ll break down what stability actually means (predictability, not perfection), why stability lowers urges and reduces escalation, and why many people fear stability because it can feel like “losing control.” You’ll learn the three pillars that support steadiness—consistent nourishment, predictable rhythm, and humanizing your standards—plus a practical reframe: choose the simplest support plan you can repeat most days, the one that’s “crappy-day proof.”

Show Notes:
When the urge to eat feels urgent, convincing, and hard to resist, insight alone usually isn’t enough. In this episode, we focus on what to do once the urge is already here—so you reduce escalation instead of making it worse.

In this episode, you’ll hear the key reframe that an urge is not an order—it’s a signal, why fighting, shaming, arguing, or “just giving in” often escalates urges, and what actually fuels escalation (all-or-nothing thinking, “if I start I won’t stop,” negotiation, and future-tripping). I’ll walk you through a simple protocol—Pause, Change Context, Choose the least-pressure next step—along with neutral language that keeps your thinking brain online. We’ll also cover how to eat in a more regulated way if you do choose to eat (seated, plated, with a check-in partway through), and what to do after urge-driven eating so you don’t accidentally make the next urge stronger.
