Episode Description from the Publisher

✨ Topics we touch on: Emotional Eating, Stress Eating, Christian Women, Food Cravings, Food as Comfort, Food Freedom In this episode, we look at the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 and how the “Martha Trap” can quietly fuel emotional eating. If you spend your days doing, serving, managing, and caring for everyone else—only to turn to food for comfort at night—there may be a deeper pattern underneath. We unpack how busyness, overwhelm, and carrying too much can leave you spiritually and emotionally depleted—and why sitting with God may be more important than trying harder. If you’re ready to uncover the root of your emotional eating and build a faith-based path to food freedom, you can book a 1:1 Binge Breakthrough Coaching session at HannahBryson.com. 💛 The Chosen TV Series Full Episode of Martha & Mary Season 4, episode 5 (scene starts at 00:34:16): https://watch.thechosen.tv/video/184683596187 YouTube Clip Version: https://youtu.be/C3NsmjQTjl4?si=AkztSdmfUVNo5soo 🚀 NEXT STEPS: -Need more info?
