Episode Overview

Continuing our holiday coaching series, today we sit down with Andrea from Ottawa who shares a common struggle: the holiday season spiral. While successful with nutrition throughout the year, Andrea finds herself anxious as the holidays approach, knowing she'll have difficulty saying "no" to Halloween candy, party foods, and holiday baked goods. Her story is likely to resonate with many – caught in a cycle of cravings, giving in, feeling guilty, and repeating the pattern day after day.

In this episode, Jen works with Andrea to break down her specific challenge with Halloween candy, exploring the root causes of her cravings and building practical strategies to maintain alignment with her goals.
