Have you ever felt your routine fall apart during the holidays and immediately assumed your progress was slipping? The mix of travel, heavier meals and unpredictable schedules can make your body feel different fast, but those shifts are not the setback your mind tells you they are.

In this episode we talk about how your strength responds during chaotic seasons, why momentum matters more than perfect structure and how small anchors like movement snacks, protein and hydration keep you connected to yourself when everything else feels messy.

We also break down the body image triggers that tend to show up this time of year. Lighting, angles, outfits and family comments can activate old beliefs quickly, and learning how to pause and reframe those moments helps you stay grounded instead of spiraling.

If you want a clearer way to move through holiday chaos with confidence, calm and a lot less fear of starting over, this conversation will meet you right where you are and give you tools you can use immediately. Tune in.
