Why Being Alone Triggers Emotional Overeating: And How to Change It
In this episode, Alana unpacks a tender truth that so many high-functioning women carry quietly: why being alone can feel like an invitation to lose yourself in food.
She shares her story, the years when silence and unstructured time felt less like rest and more like permission to slip into the ritual of binging. And she explores why these moments never start with the first bite, but with the anticipation of being unwatched, unneeded, unseen.
Through honest reflection and grounded insight, Alana explains how secret patterns form, why they feel so powerful, and what it takes to build a relationship with yourself that doesn’t disappear the moment the door closes.
If you’ve ever felt like you can hold everything together… until you’re alone, this conversation will change how you understand yourself.
