Welcome to the Holiday Eating mini series! This new, 8-part series is short bite-sized coaching chats designed to help you get through the holidays with less stress, more intention and without feeling like you're starting over in January.

Today, we’re kicking off with episode 1 featuring the single biggest holiday mindset shift that could completely change the way you experience December and let you finally say goodbye to the cycle of guilt, restriction, and “starting over” in January. What if I told you that the holidays don’t actually ruin your progress, and you’re not one plate of cookies away from throwing it all out the window?

I’m breaking down the holiday “damage” myth, how to balance enjoying a few indulgences guilt-free, and simple, science-backed strategies you can use right away. Plus, I’ll walk you through picking your three “anchor habits” so your healthy routines don’t fall apart no matter how wild December gets.

If you’re ready to experience the holidays without the usual shame spiral or overwhelm and start 2026 without needing another “reset”, hit play and let’s dive in.
