Episode Title: S1:E1 Old Behavior

Podcast: The Well: Pep Talks & Reflections

Host: Elle Woodworth, RD

Episode Description

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep doing this when I know better?”—this episode is for you.

Today’s reflection centers on a powerful truth: old behaviors stick around because they’re still meeting a need. That doesn’t mean you’re weak, undisciplined, or failing at change. It means you’re human.

In this episode, we explore how habits like stress eating, skipping meals, grazing at night, or relying on food for comfort often serve an important purpose—and how real, lasting change begins not with force or shame, but with understanding.

What This Episode Covers

• How behaviors like stress snacking or overeating often solve an unmet need
