Feeling that familiar knot in your stomach about Thanksgiving dinner (or any upcoming event)? Not just about family dynamics, but about the actual food?

This episode gives you practical tools to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner without the emotional food hangover - the shame, regret, and "I can't believe I did it again" feeling that can last for days. Dara walks you through her proven 4-step process to prepare for any eating event from a place of self-compassion instead of self-control.

Key Topics Covered

🗝️Why "Being Good" Before the Event Backfires

🗝️How restricting before dinner triggers scarcity mode in your brain

🗝️The "I've been good, now I can be bad" mentality trap

🗝️Why showing up hungry makes balanced eating nearly impossible

Practical Strategies Shared

Before the Event:

Eat normally - don't try to "save" calories Remember: this is one meal, not your last meal

During the Event:

Put food on a plate instead of grazing while standing

Check in with hunger and fullness during the meal

Give yourself permission to enjoy foods you want AND skip foods you don't

Have a plan for what to do with your hands during conversations
