Episode Synopsis

You've probably said it before: "I just need a meal plan." I get it—when you're overwhelmed or confused, a meal plan sounds like the perfect fix. But here's the truth: for most people, meal plans aren't the solution… they're just a short-term band-aid. In this episode, I'm breaking down why I've been anti-meal plan for years—even though I'm currently following one myself. We'll talk about: When meal plans can be helpful (and when they backfire) Why most people don't actually need a meal plan—they need flexible structure Real-life examples of how to build meals that fit your life (instead of trying to force your life to fit a plan) If you've ever felt like you "just need someone to tell you what to eat," this one's for you.
