Episode 205: How to deal with food pushers during the holidays


Listen Later

We’re back with episode 205.  This week, I’m diving into a holiday classic… no, not pumpkin pie—food pushing. You know the moment: you’re at the table, already feeling full, and someone insists, “You HAVE to try this! I made it just for you!” 

You have no interest in whatever they’re offering but you also feel guilty and don’t want to be rude. So…what do you do? The answers are in this episode:

  • Why food pushing happens and why it feels so hard to say no.
  • How to set boundaries that work for you—without completely offending your Aunt Linda and her famous pie.
  • Scripts and strategies for real-life scenarios, like taking a “middle-ground” approach 
  • How to prioritize your own comfort while navigating others’ feelings (yes, it’s possible!)


The last thing you need is to feel guilty for not eating someone’s casserole OR feel like crap because you forced yourself to eat another slice of pie you didn’t really want.  Listen in and learn some skills to make this your most guilt free holiday yet.
