The Real Reason you Overeat and Overspend (It's not about Willpower!)

🚀 Join the 8-Week Nervous System Reset (Starts Jan 7): https://janiceholland.thrivecart.com/cl-group-transformation/ If you keep breaking promises to yourself about your diet, budget, or boundaries, you aren’t lazy, and you don’t lack willpower. You might be stuck in survival mode. In this video, I reveal the biological reason behind emotional eating and spending addiction: your body’s desperate need for nervous system regulation When you feel overwhelmed, your brain shuts down logic and seeks quick dopamine—sugar, shopping, or scrolling—to feel safe. This isn't self-sabotage; it's a trauma response. Learn why "trying harder" fails and how to actually heal these patterns for 2026. If you're tired of the spirals—the food, the spending, the people-pleasing—join us. We don't focus on discipline; we teach your body how to feel safe so the urges stop at the root.
