In this episode, Ruth dives into why December feels so much harder when it comes to consistency with health, fat loss and wellbeing and how you can enjoy Christmas more, not less, by making intentional choices rather than slipping into the familiar “fuck it, it’s December” mindset.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why December can derail progress (and why it’s NOT a willpower problem)

✨ How sleep, routines, nostalgia, scarcity and dopamine make festive food feel irresistible

✨ Why the goal of December isn’t perfection - it’s protecting your energy and confidence

✨ Strategies to help you feel calm and in control all month:

Decide before you get there

Support “tomorrow you”

Choose realistic non-negotiables

The No Crap Cake Condition™ - less often but more enjoyable

✨ How to handle social pressure around food and alcohol without feeling awkward

✨ Why reflecting beats starting again in January

This episode is for every woman who wants to enjoy the festive season and feel strong, capable and proud of herself on 1st January with no guilt, no punishment, no reset required.
