Ever feel like you're doing everything right, but something emotional keeps pulling you off track?

In this episode, we’re talking about EFT tapping—a powerful tool that helps calm your nervous system, lower stress, and release emotional blocks that keep you stuck in unhealthy habits.

You’ll hear:

• Why emotions like stress, shame, and frustration drive your habits more than you realize

• The science behind tapping and how it rewires your stress response

• A real example of how one client released shame in minutes using EFT

• What Picture Tapping is—and why it’s a fun and powerful way to shift how you feel without overthinking

• Specific things you can tap on (like cravings, body image, and feeling stuck)

If you feel like your emotions are getting in the way of your health goals, this episode will give you hope—and a tool that actually helps.
