Here’s the truth most women need to hear after a holiday meal. You didn’t ruin anything and you don’t need to punish your body to get back on track. If you’ve ever woken up puffy, bloated, or mentally spiraling into I’ll just start over tomorrow mode, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.
In episode 6 of our Holiday Eating Series, I walk you through exactly what to do after overeating so you can feel better fast without restriction, detoxes, or burning it off. We talk about why punishment actually backfires, how to reset your body gently through hydration, movement, and balanced meals, and the mindset shift that stops one indulgent meal from turning into a full blown all or nothing spiral. Think of this as a calm, steady reset instead of a reaction driven by guilt.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to wake up the next day feeling grounded, confident, and back in rhythm with your body instead of stuck in regret. You’ll walk away with a simple reset ritual you can lean on all holiday season so one meal never steals your momentum again. If you want to feel calm, strong, and consistent before January 1st, hit play and let’s dive in.
