Subscribe To The Podcast

Let’s be hones…December is challenging. You might find yourself more anxious around food, thinking about your body more, overeating more often or slipping back into old patterns you thought you were done with.

Let’s talk about why.

It’s not because you’re failing.

You’re not going backwards.

You’re not suddenly terrible at intuitive eating.

There’s just so many unique challenges that come with the month of December that most people don’t talk about.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the 6 real reasons why food feels harder at the end of the year. These reasons have nothing to do with willpower… and everything to do with your nervous system, emotions, routine, and the pressure you’re carrying.

If you’re asking yourself things like…

“Why am I binge eating during the holidays?”
“Why do I overeat at night in December?”
“How do I stop emotional eating when I’m stressed?”
“Why am I thinking about food ALL THE TIME?”

…this one’s for you ❤️
