Food is at the center of every celebration, holiday, and social event. šŸ½ļø Whether it’s Thanksgiving dinner, brunch with friends, or after-work drinks, there’s an unspoken expectation that we must eat or drink to participate. But what if you don’t want to?


We’re diving into why food dominates social life—especially for women—and how that can derail health goals, create pressure, and leave us feeling stuck in an endless cycle of overeating or drinking just to "fit in."


✨ What You’ll Learn:
āœ”ļø Why food is the foundation of social connection (and why that’s not always bad)
āœ”ļø The hidden pressures women face around eating & drinking in social settings
āœ”ļø How holidays & celebrations can derail our health—and how to stay mindful
āœ”ļø The stigma of saying no to food and alcohol, and how to set boundaries
āœ”ļø Practical strategies to enjoy social events without overindulging


You don’t have to eat or drink to belong! Let’s break free from social food expectations and focus on connection over consumption.
