Ready to unwrap the secrets to a stress-free holiday season? Today, we're joined by our exceptional guest, Ali, as we embark on a journey to vanquish holiday stress and bring forth the magic that this season is renowned for. We'll start by laying down a blueprint to thrive amidst the holiday hustle and bustle, focusing on creating habits that bolster your mental and physical well-being, and exploring ways to consistently nourish yourself throughout this festive season.

We'll also delve into the often-overlooked topic of managing stress and our relationship with food during the holidays. From recognizing the physical manifestations of stress to strategically managing it through movement and mindful activities, we're covering it all. Plus, we're taking a deep dive into mapping out your meals in advance, and how to approach holiday feasts without attaching morality to food - because, let's face it, your body's needs are important and should be at the forefront.

Now, let's talk holiday gatherings - navigating the maze of holiday foods, dealing with well-intentioned yet sometimes uncomfortable conversations about body image and food, and setting boundaries with grace and respect. We'll share our top strategies to handle these situations while maintaining your sanity. And speaking of gatherings, let's not forget about alcohol. From setting your drink limit to creating delectable mocktails, we're spilling the beans on how to enjoy the holidays without overindulging. And before we wrap up, we’ll discuss how to savor the holidays sans stress and how to set the stage for an incredible upcoming year. So, plug in those earbuds and join us for this enlightening and practical conversation.
