from French Kissing Life

The holidays come wrapped in sparkle and expectations. Joy! Magic! Gratitude! But if we’re honest, it can feel more like running a marathon in heels and a sequined dress.In this festive episode, I’m joined by body and life coach Courtney Gray for a soulful conversation about rewriting our holiday narratives. We talk about what really happens in our bodies when we override ourselves, how to stop people-pleasing through food and traditions, and why a little discomfort might just be the path to deep nourishment.Topics Covered:The “back burner effect” and how it sneaks into holiday seasonsWhy women often default to doing it all (and how to step back)How emotional eating is tied to boredom, guilt, and people-pleasingA 3-step tool for making aligned food choices in the momentWhy discomfort is often the doorway to lasting changeThe truth about time scarcity (and why it’s rarely about time)Simple micro shifts that create a more grounded holidayHow to decide what to keep, toss, or transform in your traditionsConnect with Courtney!www.modernbodymodernlife.comwww.instagram.com/modernbodymodernlifewww.facebook.com/courtneygraycoaching ______________________Contact French Kissing Life PodcastDM us at @shawnnarstiver on Instagram or FacebookConnect with Shawnna Stiver on LinkedInEmail us at [email protected] Until next time, muah! ______________________French Kissing Life is sponsored by Ampersand Copy and Content.
