How to handle hidden sugars and stay balanced during summer vacations
Summer is filled with travel, big family meals, and social events—but that also means more pressure around food, drinks, and sugar. In this episode, Jenny Peña, National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, shares practical, compassionate strategies for navigating summer without feeling restricted or off-track.
Learn how to:
✅ Handle social pressure politely without overexplaining
✅ Make easy swaps at restaurants and parties
✅ Stay steady while traveling with smart snack planning
✅ Watch for hidden sugars in drinks, sauces, and vacation treats
✅ Keep your mindset kind and flexible—so you can actually enjoy the summer
Jenny also reflects on insights from her recent Sip Smarter workshop, where participants explored just how much sugar can hide in summer beverages—from juices and smoothies to cocktails.
And if you want to keep exploring this topic, the Summer Book Club is still open! We’re reading The Year of No Sugar together. Even if you join now, you’ll get weekly Friday prompts to help you go at your own pace and stay curious (not extreme) about sugar in everyday life.
