Food Freedom Around The Holidays Virtual Mini-Workshop

Overview

The holidays are meant to be a joyous time to celebrate loved ones & enjoy delicious meals. Unfortunately, holiday foods sometimes come with feelings of guilt & shame which can take away from our ability to create lasting memories. Not to mention the stress we’re already experiencing this year from navigating the holidays in the midst of a pandemic. We know this is a challenging time for many, and we want to support your wellbeing through this holiday season!

This mini-workshop is a two-part series that will provide you with tools and strategies for practicing food freedom throughout the holiday season. We will help you reframe your mindset so that you can truly enjoy your holiday traditions- even if this year’s festivities look different.  Our goal is for you to eat, drink, be merry, and get through the rest of 2020 feeling well! It’s time to savor the pumpkin pie without a side of guilt, and to move towards the New Year in a way that truly optimizes your well-being.
