Have you ever noticed that when your stress is high, everything feels off? Your hunger cues, your digestion, your energy… even the way you talk to yourself?

There's a reason for that — and it's not because you're doing anything wrong.

In this week's Thin Thinking Podcast episode, I sat down with PTSD expert Joanne Williams for a powerful conversation about what happens when the brain gets stuck on high alert. When our nervous system is constantly bracing for impact, it affects everything from our gut health to our emotional eating patterns — often leaving us with shame, self-blame, and the feeling that we can't trust our own bodies.

If you've ever wondered why you turn to food when stress is high, or why your body sometimes feels like it's working against you, this episode brings both clarity and compassion — plus practical tools you can use right away.

So take a deep breath… and come on in.

In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

• The 4–8 Breathing Technique — a simple, science-backed way to calm your system in the moment.
• A rapid vagus nerve reset you can use anytime stress spikes.
• Joanne's "Three Brains" framework — gut, heart, and head — and how it helps move you out of reactivity and into conscious choice.

It's here!

There is something so magical about baking during the holidays. Even if we barely touch an oven the rest of the year, somehow December arrives and suddenly we're whipping up cookies, breads, pies, and all the nostalgic treats that make the season feel whole.
For many of us, baking is connection—time with friends, time with family, or simply the joy of creating something delicious for people we love.

Inside, I'm sharing my very best slimming baking strategies—the ones that let you enjoy the traditions, the scents, the flavors, and the fun… without letting your holiday treats raise your weight along with the dough.

So grab your rolling pin, preheat that oven, and come join me for this festive, no-regret episode.

In This Episode, You'll Also Learn…

• How mentally preparing before you bake—by fueling your body, setting boundaries, and deciding your plan—completely changes how you experience holiday treats and whether you stay aligned with your goals.
• How shifting your attention from "I must avoid everything" to "I'm creating joy, connection, and intention" helps you stay mindful, enjoy the smells and memories, and stay in control even when sugar and nostalgia are everywhere.
• A guided holiday-baking mindset reset that helps you slow down, savor intentionally, use the power of smell over taste, avoid the all-or-nothing trap, and choose self-connection so you can enjoy the holidays without the weight gain or guilt
