Why You Overeat, Overdrink & Overcommit at Christmas and How Honesty Stops It

December has a way of exposing the habits we pretend aren’t a problem.In this solo episode of RAW CHATTER, Vicky Midwood breaks down why Christmas amplifies emotional eating, drinking, scrolling, people-pleasing and burnout - and why the real solution isn’t more willpower or better discipline.It’s self-honesty.We explore how early conditioning (“be good”, “don’t rock the boat”, “keep the peace”) disconnects us from our real needs and why that disconnection drives compulsive behaviours around food, alcohol and numbing habits.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why triggers aren’t the enemy - they’re informationHow people-pleasing quietly destroys your sense of selfWhy food, alcohol and scrolling feel “safe” under stressHow self-honesty reduces cravings and anxietyPractical questions to help you decide which events to attend - and which to skipWhy boundaries feel hard but create real safetyThis episode is especially for you if Christmas feels exhausting, pressured, or emotionally loaded and you’re tired of ending the year resentful, anxious or disconnected from yourself.🎁 December Offer: £500 off my VIP Day + 30-Day Accelerator (details are at the end of the episode).Vicky xx🧠 Website: https://vickymidwood.com/ 📩 Join the email list for weekly updates: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/426802/87719477697841062/share Email: [email protected] Book a call: https://tidycal.com/vicky1/30-minute-chat Connect via social media:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vickymidwoodhealthcoach/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vicky.midwood/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vicky_gofigurecoaching/
