In this episode, I’m diving into a pattern so many emotional eaters struggle with—passive aggressive behavior. If you’ve ever gone quiet to make a point, said “I’m fine” when you weren’t, or felt resentful because someone didn’t read your mind, this conversation is for you. Together, we’ll explore why emotional eaters fall into these patterns, how they keep us stuck with food, and the small, brave shifts that help us communicate honestly, feel safe with our emotions, and finally break free.
