How do you feel about being gluten-free at the holidays?   There’s a good chance the holidays feel… complicated.   Maybe you love the season — the lights, the music, the traditions — but there’s also this quiet, heavy layer underneath it all.   When you’re gluten-free, the holidays aren’t just about celebration.   They’re about strategy, caution, and constantly scanning the room and wondering, ‘Is that safe for me?’  And that can get exhausting, right?   Maybe you’re grieving traditions you used to love — the family recipe you can’t have anymore, the special holiday treats you grew up with, or the ease of just showing up and eating what everyone else is eating.   Or, maybe you’ve already started worrying about how you’ll explain why you brought your own food again or whether someone will roll their eyes when you ask what’s in the gravy.   If this feels familiar, you need to know something . . .   You’re not dramatic. You’re not difficult. And this isn’t uncommon!   There is an emotional load that comes with being gluten-free — especially during the holidays — and most people don’t see it. But you feel it in your body, your mind, and your heart. I KNOW because I sure did - and sometimes still do!   Today, we’re going to talk about the emotions you may be experiencing and how you can lighten up — without apologizing for your needs, and without sacrificing joy this season.   So take a deep breath. You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself.   Let’s talk about it!   Continue to grow your gluten-free lifestyle: **Join the GF Growth Membership to gain clarity and confidence for the gluten-free life you need. Follow a proven framework with monthly support and accountability to create your sustainable and delicious GF lifestyle.
