Episode Overview

The holiday season can feel like one long buffet table—especially when Halloween hits and suddenly there's candy everywhere. If you've ever felt like one "fun-size" chocolate turns into weeks of overeating and guilt, this episode is for you.

In this powerful live coaching session, Jen works with Andrea, a long-time listener and mom of three, who shares how her normally balanced habits get totally derailed during the holidays. Together, they explore practical strategies for reducing food anxiety, building self-trust, and creating eating experiences that feel intentional—not reactive.

If you're bracing yourself for another season of spiraling, this episode will help you break the cycle without giving up your favorite foods.
