144: Overwhelm & Overeating: When Doing Your Best is Burning You Out

Too Much on Her Plate with Dr. Melissa McCreery

You’re someone who’s used to giving your all - and more. It’s led to a great career and a fair amount of success, but it’s also the cause of stress, overwhelm, and overeating. There’s a reason you curl up with a bag of chips at the end of the day - it’s because you left it all out on the field and didn’t get much for yourself. In situations like this, overeating or bingeing or constant snacking can become the glue that holds your high-performing life together. So what’s a high-achiever to do? Do you have to sacrifice doing your best to end your overeating habit? Do you have to start “settling” and stop “doing your best”?

In this episode:

• Doing your best: what it really means
• The over-functioning trap
• The circle of best
• The error that makes doing your best a trap for burnout, stress, and overeating
• How to do and be your best AND be unstoppable
