The Comeback Season

Episode 23: The Guilt Hangover (Holiday Comeback Episode 2)


Listen Later

In this episode of The Comeback Holiday Edition, Nichole and Christi unpack the “guilt hangover” that lingers after holiday eating, skipped workouts, or emotionally charged family moments. They break down the difference between guilt and shame, explain how your nervous system can shift into freeze mode (hello, avoidance and procrastination), and show you how negative self-talk keeps the cycle going. You’ll learn simple anchor habits—like one-plate rules, pre-party snacks, deep breaths, and short walks—that help you feel safer, calmer, and more grounded in your body. Nichole and Christi also walk you through powerful reflection questions so you can understand why guilt feels so heavy, name the emotional load you’re carrying, and start rewriting the story you tell yourself this holiday season.
