About this episode

I hope you're enjoying this season and giving yourself that mindful balance of intentionality with food, mixed with some grit and grace, and balancing that glucose too! 

 

Today, I'm sharing one of my most popular episodes from last year, where I offer some practical tips on how to get unstuck from the pendulum swing cycle of overeating, to not eating enough. I want to help you stop this pendulum swing, and give you some grace-filled guidance on what you can do differently this holiday season to find more of a healthy balance this time of year.

 

I'm going to walk you through three simple steps to set the tone for a more intentional and values based empowered eating approach over the next couple of weeks. This values based, and faith-led health goal approach, is something you can carry with you no matter what season of life you find yourself walking through.

Cheers, and happy eating!
