If holiday events leave you feeling anxious, reactive, or like you’ve already blown it before the night even starts, this episode is your reset. In episode 5 of our Holiday Eating Series, I’m breaking down exactly how to approach parties and dinners so you can enjoy the food and the moment without spiraling, because it’s not the holiday meals that throw most women off, it’s the strategy they walk in with.

I walk you through what actually matters before, during, and after an event so you can stay grounded, avoid the guilt hangover, and keep your momentum intact. We’ll talk about the subtle ways women accidentally sabotage themselves, how to build a plate that supports balance instead of relying on willpower, and what to do after a big night so guilt doesn’t turn into an all or nothing reset.

By the end, you’ll know how to leave an event feeling satisfied and in control instead of stuffed, frustrated, or planning to start over tomorrow. Hit play and let’s change how this season feels.
