Your Permission to Enjoy the Holidays

from Not Just Gym Girls · host Marisa Silva and Vanessa Silva

In this episode we're chatting about why the holidays aren’t the problem, the pressure around them is. We’re talking about why so many women start feeling anxious or on edge before the holidays even begin, and where that heaviness actually comes from. This isn’t about damage control, being “good,” or fixing yourself before January, but instead it’s about understanding how diet culture, comparison, and unrealistic expectations quietly shape how we experience this season. We’ll talk about why a few meals don’t undo your progress, and what real support can look like right now without food rules or punishment. If you’ve ever felt like you need to brace yourself this time of year, you’re not alone, and this episode is for you.STRIVE FOR STRONG WEBSITE: https://www.striveforstrong.com/MARISA IG: https://instagram.com/msilvafitness_?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=MARISA COACHING LINK:https://msilvafitness.typeform.com/to/ptaEKYD8VANESSA IG: https://www.instagram.com/vanessasilvafitt/VANESSA COACHING LINK:https://form.typeform.com/to/hec1uTP0
