Make Self-Improvement Fun, Imperfect, and Doable with Delanie Fischer

Once Upon A Food Story

How do you break free from the ‘rules’ you’ve been handed—whether it’s about food, drinking, or wellness – and instead create a life that feels real, fun, and actually works for you??!

Delanie Fischer believes personal growth should be accessible, enjoyable, and completely judgment-free. As a comedian-turned-creative consultant, host of the acclaimed Self-Helpless podcast, and author of the newly released book MockTales, she’s made it her mission to bring lightness to heavy and often overwhelming topics.

In this episode, Delanie challenges common self-help myths and shares simple, sustainable shifts to help you rethink your relationship with food, alcohol, and self-improvement – without the pressure of perfection or societal expectations.

You’ll learn:

• Why your body’s appearance doesn’t tell the whole story about your health
• How to navigate emotional eating without rigid rules
• The power of small, sustainable changes over extreme all-or-nothing approaches
• Simple ways to make sustainable living feel natural and fun
• Creative mocktails that make socializing more inclusive

If you’ve ever questioned the “shoulds” of food, drinking, or self-care, this conversation will inspire you to do things your way – without pressure, guilt, or perfection.
