In this episode, I am continuing my series of conversations with food freedom advocate Diana. This series of conversations is about navigating the holiday season and our struggles with food. Last week, we talked about being present and living in the moment.
This week, we are discussing post-Christmas, what that means for us, and how to get over the obligation of how you are supposed to show up. There is always a fear of judgment from others around this time of year, and this episode's discussion aims to help you navigate and negate that fear.
