227 Eating Mindfully at Christmas (Part 2): Finding Food Freedom without the Spiral


Listen Later

This week, we’re continuing the Christmas eating miniseries with a conversation that so many women need right now: how to create more food freedom without feeling like you’re destined for huge Christmas weight gain. 

If last week was about understanding why the Christmas overeating happens, this week is all about what you can actually do to change the pattern — not through restriction, discipline, or force… but through awareness, trust, and nervous system regulation.

We’ll also talk about how food freedom doesn’t mean you need to dump all structure, and that when we combine the best bits of both you can head into the new year with more confidence, more calm, and a whole lot less food guilt.

Your key takeaways:

  • Why Christmas overeating isn’t about willpower but a reflection of your deeper patterns with food.
  • How “food freedom” can coexist with structure and support (it’s not all-or-nothing).
  • The role your nervous system plays in overeating, and how to give it the break it’s craving.
  • Three simple questions to interrupt your usual December patterns and build trust.
  • How to use this month as a learning phase so January feels different for the first time in years.
