The Holiday Food Spiral — How to Stay Grounded When Everything Feels 'Too Much'

The holidays can feel like a lot. A lot of food, a lot of emotion, a lot of old patterns you thought you were past. And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, guilty, anxious, or disconnected from your routine this week, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re human, and this season brings up more for women healing their relationship with food than almost any other time of year.

In today’s episode, I’m helping you understand why things feel so intense right now—and more importantly, how to come back home to yourself. We’ll walk through why the holiday environment triggers your nervous system, what actually leads to the “food spiral,” and the grounding practices that will help you feel safe, centered, and supported around food again.

If you’re already spiraling, I’ll show you exactly how to interrupt the guilt, regulate your body, and step out of the all-or-nothing cycle without punishing yourself or starting over tomorrow.

You deserve to enjoy this season without carrying food fear. You deserve peace, presence, and permission to be human. This episode will help you find your footing again.
