Welcome to another solo episode!

Thanksgiving may be over, but the toxic diet culture chatter is just getting louder.

In this episode, we unpack 8-10 sneaky ways diet culture shows up after the holidays and how to protect your peace.

We’ll explore:

• The stigma around leftovers and food waste.

• Social media influencers pushing restrictive meal plans.
