Social Pressure to Eat/Drink During the Festive Season | E160

 “Go on, calories don’t count at Christmas!”
 “One drink won’t hurt - don’t be boring”
 “Nan made this just for you!”


This month is jam-packed with celebration, tradition… and with that, a lot of social pressure.


In this week’s episode of my podcast, I’m talking about why it feels so hard to say no at this time of year.

(even when you genuinely don’t want the extra drinks, snacks, or indulgences being pushed on you)


We’ll discuss where this pressure actually stems from and why people-pleasing tendencies (especially for women) make it trickier.


Followed by some practical advice for handling it:
 • How to maintain your boundaries without being rude
 • How to avoid the guilt → resentment → “f*ck it” spiral
 • Practical, in-the-moment strategies to help you hold your ground and make life easier


Probably skills that are going to come in handy over the next few weeks…
