Ever feel like you’re stuck in a food guilt Groundhog Day where every weekend ends with “Ugh, I’ll just start again on Monday”? For years, I lived in that cycle: restrict, rebel, regret, repeat. Mondays felt like a reset, but they just dragged me deeper into the shame spiral. In this episode, we’re calling out the toxic patterns that keep you chasing food perfection and unpacking the real reason the “fresh start” mindset keeps backfiring. We’ll explore how diet culture fuels the all-or-nothing thinking, how guilt feeds emotional eating, and what it looks like to reclaim your power—with food, with your body, and with how you talk to yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn your worth back after a weekend of “messing up,” this episode is your wake-up call. Because the path to peace doesn’t begin on Monday—it begins when you choose compassion over control, and love over guilt.
