The Quiet Hour

One lecture a month. The science of why we reach for food — and the gentler way through.

Wednesdays at 4:00 PM Pacific  ·  live on Zoom  ·  always recorded

Once a month, I teach the hour I wish someone had taught me decades ago: what is actually happening in a brain and body that keep reaching for food — and what actually helps. No slides, no jargon, no homework. Just the real science, told like a story, and a practice you can carry out the door.

Every lecture comes with three companions, because we don’t all learn the same way: the full recording to rewatch anytime, a science-backed Deep Dive for the readers who want the sources and the studies, and a visual Companion Guide for the ones who think in pictures. Whichever doorway is yours — it’s included.

The season opens: The Ultimate Reframe

Wednesday, August 19 · 4:00 PM Pacific

What if the substance was never the enemy? What if it kept every promise it ever made — and the way it finally lets go is not war, but gratitude? This lecture walks the unconscious-contracts practice I learned through the work of Sarah Peyton, the emotional circuits underneath the reaching, and the true story of one jar of nut butter, one mountaintop, and the woods one block from my house.

Then: September 2 — and first Wednesdays after that: October 7, November 4, December 2.
