In today’s episode, we dive into how vacations can be enjoyed without derailing our healthy habits. We talked candidly about our own experiences with overindulgence and how returning to a balanced lifestyle isn’t about punishment—it’s about gradual, compassionate change.

We explored how understanding who we really are lays the groundwork for smarter choices and how maturity means recognizing the long-term consequences of every indulgence. Ori shares his insights on planning ahead and setting boundaries while also emphasizing the role of community support and self-awareness in building a healthier identity.

From practical strategies like pacing yourself with drinks to rethinking your approach to post-vacation routines, our conversation covers the key lessons we’ve learned: every experience—even one of overindulgence—offers a chance to recalibrate and grow.
