Every Christmas, well-meaning advice gets thrown around like confetti.
Swap wine for gin. Skip meals so you can enjoy later. But this advice isn’t helping.
In fact, it’s the reason so many women stay stuck in the same December–January cycle year after year.
In this episode, I talk about the advice I will never give over Christmas — and why quick fixes, swaps, and control-based thinking don’t work long term. We’ll look at how diet culture sneaks in during the festive season, why all-or-nothing thinking ramps up, and what actually helps you stay steady, grounded, and well.
This isn’t about being perfect over Christmas.
It’s about breaking patterns, staying connected to yourself, and moving through the season without losing your footing.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just get back on track in January,” this episode is for you.
