The holidays are supposed to be joyful, but for so many women, they bring stress, guilt, and a cycle of overindulgence followed by restriction. What if this year could be different?

In this episode of the Mama Work It podcast, I’m joined by Carrie Lupoli, certified nutritionist, speaker, educator, and founder of Disruptive Nutrition and the Diet Disruptors podcast (an Apple Top 100 Health & Wellness podcast). A former D1 athlete who battled disordered eating, Carrie now empowers women and families to achieve lasting health through the science of blood sugar stabilization and sustainable behavior change. She’s been featured on the TODAY Show, ABC, NBC, FOX, and was even a TEDx speaker in South Africa.

Together, we dive into how women can enjoy the holiday season—without falling into diet culture, guilt, or the “I’ll start again in January” mindset.

In this conversation, we cover:

• Why the holidays feel so triggering when it comes to food and routines
• The problem with “starting over in January” and what to focus on instead
• How to enjoy holiday meals and events without guilt or restriction
• Simple systems and routines to help you stay healthy and balanced
• One small mindset shift that can help you thrive—not just survive—this season

If you’ve ever felt stuck between indulgence and restriction during the holidays, this episode will give you practical tools and empowering strategies to help you feel balanced, energized, and guilt-free—without missing out on the joy of the season.
