Are You a Transition Snacker? What it is and how to stop.

In this episode, Kerrie Nygard explores the hidden habit of “transition snacking”—the urge to reach for food every time we shift from one task, environment, or emotional state to another. Through personal stories and practical insight, Kerrie unpacks how these eating patterns are often less about true hunger and more about using food to cope with stress, overstimulation, discomfort, or unmet emotional needs. Rather than approaching food with shame or rigid control, she encourages listeners to become curious about the deeper “why” behind their cravings. Together, we explore how awareness, self-compassion, and nervous system regulation can help break automatic eating habits and create a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food and your body. This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning to meet your needs in ways that truly satisfy and support the life God created you to live.
