Does this sound familiar?

It's the end of a long day. Everyone else has been taken care of. And before you even realize it, you're standing at the pantry looking for something, anything, to take the edge off.

Then the thoughts roll in:

  • “Why can't I stop eating when I know better?”
  • “I hate when I eat too much. I feel so awful afterward.”
  • “What's wrong with me?”

I hear you. And I want you to know: nothing is wrong with you. Reaching for food when you're stressed is a pattern, not a personal failing. When we look at it with curiosity instead of judgment, something begins to shift.

What We'll Explore Together

Let's look at what's really going on beneath the surface, gently and practically, so you leave feeling understood instead of overwhelmed.

🌊

Why Stress Sends You to Food

Understand how your nervous system looks for comfort and relief, and why food so often becomes the quickest way to feel a little safer.

🔍

Recognizing Your Triggers

Learn to notice the emotions, moments, and body signals that come right before you reach for food, before the pattern takes over.

🌱

Softening the Pattern

Discover gentle, compassionate ways to respond to stress that don't rely on restriction, rules, or beating yourself up afterward.

Hi, I'm Laurie

I help busy, stressed-out moms break free from the patterns that hold them back from feeling confident and secure, no matter where they are in their healing journey.

I know how it feels to be the one holding everything together. In this class, I'll sit with you like a friend across the table, listening carefully and helping you understand what's really happening beneath the surface. The body tells the truth, and when we learn to listen, real change begins.

“Emotions are like waves, and waves don't last forever.”

Questions You Might Have

When is the class?
We'll gather live on Tuesday, December 1, 2026 at 7 pm EST.
Will this be another diet or set of food rules?
Not at all. This class is about understanding, not restriction. We'll explore the emotional and nervous system patterns behind stress eating with compassion and curiosity.
I've tried so many times before. Can this really help me?
I hear you. Feeling stuck doesn't mean you can't change. It often means you haven't yet been given tools that work with your body instead of against it. You can do this, and you don't have to do it alone.
I'm so overwhelmed. Will this add more to my plate?
Everything we cover is simple and designed for busy moms. You'll leave with gentle practices that fit into the life you already have.
