Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of RAW CHATTER! peels back the layers of high-achiever stress, focusing on the unseen struggles that happen when the lights go out. Host Vicky Midwood, known as The Addiction Eliminator, tackles the night-time rituals that many find themselves caught in—overeating, drinking, and more—not because of hunger or lack of discipline, but due to the relentless pressure to perform.
With her straightforward style, Vicky exposes how perfectionism and emotional exhaustion drive these behaviours. She shares her own experiences and offers insights into breaking these cycles. The conversation touches on how societal pressures amplify these feelings, especially during the festive season. Vicky emphasises that it's not about needing another diet plan or a 'just say no' campaign; it's about understanding the emotional load you're carrying.
If you've ever found yourself standing at the fridge late at night, searching for relief rather than food, this episode is a must-listen. Vicky's candid approach provides not just a reflection of her own journey but a beacon for anyone struggling with similar issues. Are you ready to explore what's really behind those midnight snacks and glasses of wine?
