How many times have you told yourself, "I will get back on track after the holidays, because right now is just impossible?”

We're often convinced that we need the calendar to calm down—no more travel, no more parties, no more treats—before we can finally make progress toward our goals. But what if the "right time" to lose weight isn't a date on the calendar, but a decision you make today?

In this episode, we tackle the myth that the holidays are the "worst time" to be a normal eater. We’ll show you how to swap rigid food rules for real choices, so you can enjoy the season's joy, leave every event feeling light and proud, and step into the new year with trust, not regret.

The goal isn't perfection; it's practice. Learn how to be a woman who trusts herself around food, no matter how chaotic the season gets.

• The Myth of the Right Time: Why your brain loves to delay starting, and why waiting for "perfect conditions" is the biggest block to progress.
• Rules vs. Choices: How rigid dieting leads to secret overeating, and how flexible, normal eating patterns build long-term trust and health.
• The Plate Plan for Buffets: A simple strategy for navigating parties and buffets by treating the spread like a museum, not a target.
• Handling Family Food Pressure: How to set kind boundaries and honor the cook and your body, even when love shows up as an extra serving.
• Baking & Tasting Sanely: Simple plans for enjoying holiday treats and tasting your creations without accidentally eating a whole serving before dinner.
• Chaos Control: Strategies for travel days and schedule interruptions to keep you feeling steady with simple protein and produce anchors.
• The Day-After Reset: What to do when you overeat (you're human!): how to skip the shame spiral and get back to normal in one simple meal.
• Your Holiday Toolkit: Three powerful tools—Choices, Scientist Brain, and Good/Better/Best—to help you run your own game all season long.

• Learning to Swim: Progress comes from practicing in the shallow end with sparkly lights (the holidays!), not waiting for a quiet lab.
• The Museum Analogy: You don't carry the whole museum home. Visit a few favorite dishes with full attention, then leave with energy.
• Love as Sunshine: You can receive love (and thank the cook) without needing two extra scoops of food.

Before your next holiday event, ask yourself these three questions: What do I want to enjoy? What is worth it? How do I want to feel later? Let your answers guide your choices.

Remember, you don't need perfect days. You need a few steady choices, repeated.

BOOK: You Are A Miracle

Do you ever feel like you need to fix your body before you can finally step into the bigger life you want?

If the voice in your head tells you that you’re not ‘ready’ to be seen, speak up, or go for your biggest goals until you lose weight, this episode is for you.

Today, we are joined by special guest, brand strategist, and author Sara Chambers. Sara is the president of Elly & Nora Creative, helping female entrepreneurs step into visibility and claim authority. She joins us to discuss the core message of her new book, Do It Fat: An unapologetic guide for women who are done waiting for a smaller body before they let themselves be seen, heard, and fully alive.

In this honest, heartfelt, and fire-filled conversation, we pull back the curtain on how body hatred steals our visibility, dampens our voice, and limits our impact. Sara offers powerful insight into why we hold ourselves back and how we can choose a different story today.

You do not have to wait for a smaller body to live a bigger life.

• The Sneaky Link: Why body shame often shows up right when you try to be more visible in your life and business.
• The Intellectual Cost: How believing you take up "too much physical space" leads you to take up less intellectual space—hiding your ideas and keeping your brilliance quiet.
• Visibility is Non-Negotiable: Why your decision, actions, and ambition must be separated from how your body looks right now, or how it might look in the future.
• The Brand That Never Lives: How an unwillingness to be seen in the body you have prevents your brand from truly living and helping your ideal people.
• Choosing Your Story: Why beauty and body standards are just trends tied to market culture, giving you the power to choose a different, more liberating narrative.
• The Media Audit: Sara's practical advice for filling your feed with diverse, powerful women doing big things to support your own confidence and ambition.
• One Small Step Today: Practical ways to feel more powerful in the body you have right now.

"The only true loss is when you hide and no one gets to see what you offer."

"You are allowed to decide you disagree. You are allowed to choose a different story about your body, your time, and how you show up."

"When you believe you take up too much physical space, you start taking up less intellectual space."
