December is here — parties, mince pies, deadlines, and chaos. In this episode of The Beast of Burden Podcast, Paul Bassett breaks down how to approach the festive season without losing sight of your health or your progress.

From managing social events to knowing when to loosen the reins, Paul shares practical strategies to help you enjoy Christmas without the guilt or the crash that often follows. This isn’t about restriction, it’s about practicing the habits you’ve built under real-world pressure.

Episode Highlights:

Why December is the perfect time to test your discipline and habits

How to handle parties, food, and drink without feeling deprived

The balance between “being kind to yourself” and letting yourself off too easily

How to maintain your structure while enjoying the festivities

Why pressure-testing your skills now sets you up for success in the new year

🎧 Listen, reflect, and if you find it useful — share it with someone who tends to “fall off” every Christmas.
