Navigating Diet Talk at Family Gathering...

About this episode

Hey Rebel. Today, I’m answering a listener question from someone who feels surrounded by diet talk at every family gathering and wants to know: Should I leave the table? Should I speak up? How do I protect my peace while still being with my loved ones?

In today's episode, we're covering:

How to handle diet talk with family
Setting boundaries that feel right for you
Focusing on what you can control in these situations
Ways to take care of yourself before, during, and after these conversations

Because the truth is, you deserve to enjoy your meals and time with loved ones without feeling like you’re backsliding into old patterns with food and your body. Let’s dive in!
