EPISODE 114: The 'It's a Special Occasion' Trap That Happens Every Weekend in Summer

Summer is almost here, and with it comes all the things we love — barbecues, weddings, vacations, pool parties, and brunches. But if you've ever shown up to a summer event with the best intentions and somehow ended up overeating or over-drinking anyway, this episode is for you.

Steph and I are breaking down exactly why that happens and it's probably not what you think. It's not about the food, and it's not about willpower.

It's about the specific thoughts running in the background of your mind that quietly give you permission to go off the rails before you even realize what's happening.

In this episode you'll learn:

Why changing your environment changes your thinking and what that actually costs you at summer social events
The real reason your "plan" falls apart the moment you walk through the door
How to spot the subtle mental justifications that are driving your overeating without you even knowing it
Why strategies like skipping meals, setting vague limits, or promising to "start fresh Monday" are actually making things worse
How to stay connected to your values in social situations without feeling like the odd one out
What to do in the moment when you feel the pull to throw it all out the window

Once you can see the pattern, you can change it and that's exactly what Steph and I walk you through in this episode. Don't miss it!
