Ever wondered how to enjoy your holiday without feeling like you’ve “fallen off track”? In this episode, I’m sharing how I kept my habits intact while travelling through Greece - and why it didn’t mean missing out on pizza, gelato or a few cheeky cocktails at my friend’s wedding. You’ll learn the practical strategies I use (and recommend to clients) to stay balanced on holidays. If you’ve ever felt like you come home from a holiday heavier, sluggish, or in “damage control” mode, this episode will give you a fresh perspective. Balance isn’t about restriction, it’s about making small decisions that help you feel good in your body and enjoy the experiences that matter.
