CLICK PLAY TO HEAR WHAT TO FOCUS ON BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER HOLIDAY EVENTS FOR BODY RECOMPOSITION:

If holiday events leave you feeling anxious, reactive, or convinced 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 walking you through exactly how to approach holiday parties and dinners without white knuckling your way through them or spiraling the next day, because it’s not the food that throws most women off, it’s the strategy they walk in with.

I’m breaking down what actually matters before, during, and after an event so you can enjoy the food, the wine, and the company without losing control or momentum. 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. Think less restriction, more intention, and a plan that works even when the cheese board shows up.

I’m also sharing access to your totally free Holiday Eating Roadmap—the step-by-step companion that will turn intention into action, so you’re not just hearing advice, you’re living it. You can grab the guide here.

By the end, you’ll know how to leave an event feeling satisfied, grounded, and proud instead of stuffed, disappointed, or already planning to “start over.” If you’re ready to stop letting holiday events decide how the rest of your season goes, hit play and let’s change the pattern together.

In this episode, you’ll hear what to focus on before, during and after holiday events for body recomposition:

• Why skipping meals before holiday events actually sets you up to lose control with food (and what to do instead) 
• The three-step strategy for feeling grounded, intentional, and in control before, during, and after any holiday event 
• The secret to building your plate for balance so you don’t need to rely on willpower

• The surprisingly simple rule for alcohol so you wake up feeling good, not punished
