Ep #86 - Be Curious, Not Furious: Breaking the Evening “Treat” Loop with Nan

Today I’m joined by the brilliant Nan – a former Life Coach School coach of 5+ years and now “The Cravings Coach” – to talk about evening overeating, wine o’clock, and why that so-called “treat” often feels anything but a treat the next day. We’re not talking macros or meal plans; this is the emotional side of eating and how to get your power back.

Nan shares her own story of being “good all day” then raiding the kitchen at night, and how she now helps women – including those who crush it in the gym and hit their macros – stop the pantry calling their name. We dig into the “toddler brain vs adult brain” dynamic, the five-minute look-ahead that changes everything, and the phrase I’m stealing: “be curious, not furious.”

You’ll learn practical tools to pause an urge without white-knuckling: tiny challenges that build self-trust, swapping quick-hit dopamine from cake for the deeper satisfaction of keeping your word to yourself, and redefining what a real treat is (spoiler: you won’t die without the cake). We also chat mindful indulgence (hello, picky dark-chocolate lovers) and how leading by example can give your friends permission to do the same.

Nan works globally and hosts a free weekly webinar on breaking night-time binges – links in the show notes. If you’re a busy working woman who’s brilliant at getting sh*t done but feels stuck in the evening “I deserve it” loop, this one’s for you.
