Grief and Emotional Eating: How Unresolved Loss Shows Up in Your Eating Habits (with Dawn Michele Jackson)

Ever feel like your eating habits don’t make sense, even when you’re doing everything “right”? Unresolved grief could be the missing piece.

This week, I’m joined by Dawn Michele Jackson, Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist, to talk about the surprising link between grief and emotional eating.

Grief isn’t only about losing a loved one. Dawn shares the many ways it shows up in life, from divorce and other life and career changes, and why you may be carrying it without realizing it.

We dig into how grief affects your eating habits, why food becomes a way to cope, and why willpower can’t fix what’s really going on underneath.

You’ll also learn how to heal from grief in a way that leads to genuine peace and joy, rather than just “being strong” and burying it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

The hidden ways grief shows up beyond the death of a loved one
Why grief can drive emotional eating, stress eating, and overeating
Why “being strong” keeps you stuck
How to start healing grief so food stops being your comfort

Discover how Dawn can help you with grief:
