CLICK PLAY TO LEARN HOW TO REBUILD YOUR ROUTINE AFTER THE HOLIDAYS WITHOUT STARTING OVER:

You don’t need a January 1 reset to feel back in control again and waiting for the “right time” might be the very thing keeping you stuck. This episode is for that strange in between week after the holidays when time feels fake, routines are loose at best, and you’re living on leftovers, half plans, and low energy. I’m talking directly to that moment when you feel tempted to either do nothing until January or overhaul your entire life overnight. Neither works. And neither is required. In episode 7 of our Holiday Eating Series, I break down how to use this window intentionally so you can reconnect to your habits without pressure, perfection, or guilt.

I walk you through exactly what to focus on post-holidays to rebuild your rhythm in a way that actually sticks. I’m also sharing how to choose one small anchor habit instead of trying to fix everything at once, why consistency beats intensity every single time, and how to use a simple reset loop that helps you plan, act, reflect, and repeat without overthinking it. I also share how to gradually add structure back into your days so it supports your energy, your schedule, and your real life instead of becoming another thing you feel behind on. This is not about rigid rules or clean slate mentality. It’s about creating stability inside the mess and learning how to work with the season you’re in, not against it.

Plus, I’m 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 of this episode, you’ll feel calmer, clearer, and far more confident about what actually matters right now, so January doesn’t feel like a frantic restart. You’ll know how to close out the year feeling proud of how you showed up instead of disappointed by what wasn’t perfect. If you’re ready to stop repeating the all-or-nothing cycle and want to build momentum before the calendar tells you it’s time, hit play and let’s rebuild your rhythm together now.
