You’re driving home, and there’s a warm paper bag on the passenger seat. You can’t find the moment you decided to stop for it.
This episode goes looking for that missing moment. Between the urge and the bite there’s a gap about one breath wide, and every eating decision we make passes through it. Most diets try to fix that moment with a bigger plan, and a bigger plan was never in the car with you.
In about 8 minutes, we run the Gap Practice together. It’s 4 small moves that take 10 seconds and work at the exact moment a craving shows up. The fourth move surprises people, because it’s the opposite of what every diet ever told you.

About The Shift
This episode is a sample of The Shift, my audio series of short episodes. Each one carries one idea and one small framework you can use the same day. There are more than 30 so far, covering the inner critic, stress eating, why evenings come apart, and what changed after 40. Two new ones arrive every week.
A subscription is $37 $29.60 a year for the whole library, plus every new episode and framework as it lands. It works out to about a dime a day.
The gap is always there. We live in it now.
