Welcome to Untapped Confidence, formerly the Untapped Potential Podcast. In this episode, I share why the podcast has a new name and how it reflects the deeper purpose of this space.

We also explore an important question from my free support group - "Why does eating sugar increase the urge to pick your skin?+

Here’s what you’ll learn:
• How sugar impacts dopamine, stress, and emotional regulation
• Why sugar cravings and skin picking urges are biologically connected
• What the research says about sugar’s addictive nature
• Three realistic ways to reduce sugar’s impact without going cold turkey
• How to enjoy sweets more mindfully without falling into picking spirals

This is a grounded, practical conversation that helps you take more control without creating food anxiety.
