Ever feel like you “blew” your diet after a weekend of pizza, dessert, or a few too many drinks? 

You’re not alone and you’re definitely not broken. 

In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth about “messing up” your diet and why those moments don’t actually undo your progress. You’ll learn why perfection isn’t the goal, how your body responds after overeating, and what it really takes to bounce back without guilt or restriction.

We will shares a personal story about one of her own “off” weekends and the mindset shift that changed everything. You’ll discover five powerful lessons about progress, sustainability, and why joy is a crucial part of health. 

From reframing “failure” as feedback to practicing the simple Two-Minute Rule for food guilt, this episode gives you practical tools to stop spiraling and start recovering with grace.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ll just start over Monday,” this is your permission slip to stop that cycle for good. Because real consistency isn’t about never slipping up — it’s about what you do next.

So tune in, take a deep breath, and let’s rewrite what getting “back on track” really means.
