• She describes the emotional toll of losing her mother and how it led to what she calls “heartbreak binging.”

• Connie explains how processed carbs (not sugar) became her coping mechanism during this time.

• The turning point came when she moved to a peaceful environment and reconnected with her curiosity and inner journalist.

• Through her healing, she identified 21 emotional eating triggers and coined terms like “caregiving chomping,” “divorce devouring,” and “heartbreak binging.”

• Connie introduces her science-based and simple methods to regain control, including the “Hug-Hum-Rock Relief Process.”
