Ep. 236 The Urge Cycle - How to Stop Giving Into Cravings

MP3•Episode home

Ever feel like your cravings (or impulses) have control over you?

In this episode, we’re breaking down a simple but powerful process to take back your power without relying on willpower alone. You’ll learn how to pause in the moment, understand why the urge is there, and see it for what it really is (hint: you won’t explode if you don’t give in).

I’ll walk you through how to write down the urge, your perceived reasons for acting on it, and then uncover the true cost of giving in. From there, we’ll make a decision from a slower, clearer place rather than from that instant “must do it now” energy.

I’ll also share a personal example of how I’ve experienced this urge loop in my work life, and how simply planning when I’ll handle something helps my brain relax. We’ll talk about why saying “no” often makes the urge stronger at first and how to ride it like a wave instead of letting it sweep you away.

Think of it like handling an angry toddler’s tantrum: it feels intense, but it passes.

By the end, you’ll have a repeatable framework for handling cravings, emotional eating triggers, or even those distracting work pings that derail your focus. This is your guide to breaking the cycle and building self-trust one urge at a time.
