Can You Party and Still Prioritize Your Health? (Yes. Here’s How.)
Episode description
This one’s for every woman who’s wondered: Can I go all-in on a weekend of fun without undoing all my progress?
Short answer: YES. But it takes awareness, not restriction.
In this episode, I spill the tea on a recent bachelorette weekend full of booze, late nights, and all the food. It wasn’t “clean” or “on plan”—but it was joyful, connected, and a reminder of what health is really about.
We’ll talk about:
The metabolic cost of social weekends (sleep + blood sugar disruption)
How alcohol changes your hunger cues and decision-making
Why guilt is useless, but intention is everything
What I did after the weekend to rebound without spiraling
It’s real life, not fantasy wellness. If you want to learn how to indulge without regret—and without pretending it didn’t happen—this one’s for you.
