Ever had one small slip spiral into an “I’ve blown it” moment?
In this episode, I share the real story behind last week’s missed episode—thanks to a cancelled flight—and how that unexpected disruption led me to reflect on the abstinence violation response in healthy eating.
You’ll discover how to break free from the all-or-nothing mindset, release guilt and shame, and approach your wellness journey with more compassion.
Learn how to externalise setbacks, let go of perfectionism, and bounce back with practical, doable strategies—like starting small, building slow, and staying consistent.
