Ep 86: Rest, Joy, and Gelato: A Self-Trust Approach to Your Health on Vacation

In this episode of Trusting Dorothy, we’re redefining what it means to be “healthy” on vacation. If you’ve ever returned from a trip feeling like you need to detox, start over, or undo what happened, this episode will shift your mindset for good. You’ll learn how to stay grounded in self-trust, not shame, and how to see rest, joy, and gelato as supportive—not sabotaging—parts of your long-term journey. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your perception shapes your experience more than any one choice ever could How to break free from the all-or-nothing vacation mindset Why shame about what you ate slows your progress How to practice embodied self-trust when traveling The science behind diet breaks and metabolic flexibility Why rest, joy, and connection are not the opposite of discipline, they’re part of health How to come back after vacation without starting over Whether you’re heading off on a trip or simply recovering from a weekend away, this episode will help you anchor back into your identity as someone who trusts herself and takes care of her body—on and off vacation. 📌 Show Notes & Links, Lift Library Workouts: HERE 📍 Missed earlier episodes?
