It can feel like special events are a food minefield—buffets, unfamiliar dishes, diet talk swirling in the air, and that nagging thought: What if I lose control?

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to show up to these moments without letting food noise steal the spotlight. Whether it’s Thanksgiving, a wedding, or any big celebration, I’ll help you navigate the tricky parts—like the panic around “special” foods, the urge to skip meals beforehand, and the temptation to just “throw it all out the window.”

When we let food dictate how we show up, we miss out on the real reason we’re there—connection, fun, and making memories.

We’ll talk about simple practices you can start right now (yes, before the event), how to handle diet talk with confidence, and why treating holiday meals like any other meal can shift everything. I’ll even share some of my personal moments where things didn’t go as planned—and what I learned about letting go of all-or-nothing thinking.

This isn’t about restriction or perfection; it’s about reclaiming these moments for yourself. Because you deserve to enjoy your life fully—without food running the show.
