Back to EpisodesWhy We Keep Repeating Unhealthy Patterns with Elaine Starling
Description
Why do we keep doing things we know aren’t good for us?
In this powerful episode of Delay the Binge, Pam Dwyer sits down with Elaine Starling to explore the hidden patterns behind emotional eating, overworking, overthinking, people pleasing, nervous system overload, and Quiet Depletion.
After surviving a life-changing stroke and experiencing what she describes as a profound spiritual awakening, Elaine began receiving what she calls “divine downloads” about human behavior, self-worth, alignment, and the deeper reasons we disconnect from ourselves.
Together, Pam and Elaine discuss:
- Why unhealthy patterns aren’t really about willpower
- The subconscious mind and emotional protection
- How journaling reveals hidden patterns
- The emotional exhaustion many women silently carry
- The importance of receiving instead of only giving
- How gratitude and awareness shift the nervous system
- Why “noticing your breath” is often the first step back to yourself
One of the most powerful moments in the episode comes when Elaine says:
“When you deny your power, your power is denied to you.”
This conversation is emotional, practical, spiritual, and deeply human.
Because healing doesn’t begin when everything is fixed.
It begins in the pause.

This is Delay the Binge™
Delay the Binge™ explores the patterns behind burnout, Quiet Depletion, reactive coping, and the behaviors we return to even when we know they no longer serve us.
Through emotionally honest conversations and practical insight from experts in neuroscience, psychology, resilience, wellness, leadership, and human behavior, we explore why we do what we do, what happens when stress and depletion take over, and how small intentional choices can begin to change what happens next.
Because lasting change isn’t about getting it right every time. It’s about learning to recognize the pattern, create a pause, and choose your next right move.
Pause. Choose. Build momentum. Finish stronger.
