Listen "Guests, Grub & Boundaries: Surviving Holiday Food Pressure"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Kyla explores how having guests or staying with others—especially at holiday times—can disrupt routines, trigger mirroring behavior, and create pressure around accepting or finishing food. She shares examples of family food dynamics, food memories, and how alcohol and mealtime schedules can affect eating patterns.
Practical tips include planning your boundaries, communicating likes, dislikes and allergies with hosts or guests, packing snacks, and deciding where to be flexible. The episode encourages compassion, no-judgment, and simple preparation to make gatherings feel safer and more enjoyable around food.
