Halloween candy isn’t the real fright. It’s the predictable cycle that follows: Thanksgiving guilt, holiday “make up for it” thinking, and a January diet reset. In this episode, we break down why waiting for the new year keeps you stuck, why the holidays are the perfect time to practice intuitive eating, and how to start now.

The scariest thing about Halloween isn’t the candy. It’s the diet culture that gets louder with every holiday that follows. In this episode, you’ll learn why you need to start practicing intuitive eating now, what the holidays look like for an intuitive eater versus someone stuck in the diet mentality, and why promising yourself you’ll figure it out in January keeps you in the same exhausting cycle.

You don’t have to have a diagnosed eating disorder to struggle with food guilt, body dissatisfaction, or the pressure to be thinner. Eating disorder treatment pioneer Carolyn Costin joins Katy to explore what recovery can teach all of us about diet culture, body image, and making peace with food.
