Welcome & Orientation
Get the big-picture map of the territory we’re going to cover together.
Biochemistry of Addiction
Understand how dopamine and other brain chemicals drive cravings, why withdrawal feels so rough, and why willpower alone is not the answer.
The Tobacco Playbook
See how processed food is deliberately engineered to hijack your appetite, and how aggressive marketing targets our most vulnerable members of society.
The Learning Model
Learn why addiction is not a disease but a normal habit-formation loop gone horribly wrong, and how what got you here can get you out!
Societal Drivers
Explore how culture, advertising, and social norms reinforce unhealthy eating. De-shame your personal choices by putting them into a larger context.
Emotional Undercurrents
Discover how cravings often mask stress, loneliness, or boredom, and why freedom requires finding new ways to soothe and care for yourself.
Recovering Wholeness
Remember that your struggle doesn’t mean you’re flawed. Reconnect with the wholeness that has always been inside you, and reframe healing as revealing your true essence.
Presence and Parts
Instead of fighting your cravings or getting lost in them, learn to pause, notice what’s happening inside, and meet your inner process from a sense of Self.
Freedom on the Horizon
Bring together biochemistry, habits, emotions, and social forces into one clear framework. Learn a holistic approach to reclaiming your choice around junk food.
Moving Forward
Connect all the dots. Leave with clarity, compassion, and a sense of direction for the next steps that are right for you, whether you work with me or chart your own path.
No pressure to work with me.
