This is a special recording, as tomorrow is MK’s first birthday! I thought this was the perfect time to talk about how to handle food at holidays and celebrations. In today’s episode, I’m sharing strategies and tips for pre-planning and participating in these life moments. I chat with my clients a lot about this, and I always come back to the question of whether we have the right foundations in place on a daily basis; these types of events shouldn’t make or break our progress. We can approach them with curiosity and look at them as a practice to always be prepared for future events.

One of the biggest things I do to plan ahead before a bigger occasion is to take a step back and focus on the actual reason we are celebrating--because it’s not food. It’s usually a person or a special thing that has happened. Remembering that can set the tone for your mind to not focus on food. To set ourselves up for success, we need to have realistic expectations of how we react and behave around food at these events. This episode will help you with awareness and ideas on how to make choices that align with your goals.
