You’re Not a Holiday Project: Health, Happiness & The Truth About the Holiday Season | Ep.86

You’ve probably heard it already: “Only X days left in the year… are you serious about your goals?” This episode is my official response to that toxic, panic-driven fitness messaging. The holiday season is already loaded with stress, comparison, pressure, grief, and emotional triggers — the last thing you need is someone telling you your worth is tied to how hard you grind before January 1st. This is not another “stay on track during the holidays” episode. We’re not talking about burning off pie, tracking every macro, or earning your food. We’re talking about real health in real life : the way your nervous system, your mental health, your grief, your joy, and your body all collide this time of year. 🔥 In this episode, we get into: Why “X days left in the year” posts are toxic, fear-based fitness culture How to stop treating yourself like a holiday project or “situationally fit” version of you The truth about holiday stress, burnout, and anxiety (and what your body actually needs) How the holidays can trigger grief, loneliness, depression, and old wounds — and why that doesn’t make you ungrateful Simple, sustainable ways to support your physical, mental, and emotional health without obsessing over perfection How to choose habits from self-respect, not guilt — and carry that into the new year This episode is your permission slip to step out of toxic all-or-nothing thinking and into grounded, sustainable, compassionate growth — even in the messiest season of the year. You’re not a countdown. You’re not behind. You’re not a before-and-after. You’re a human being who deserves peace, presence, and health that lasts longer than a holiday timeline. 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube ⭐ If this episode hits home, subscribe and leave a review — it helps this show reach more people who are tired of the noise and ready for honest conversations about mindset, health, and growth. . 💬 Stay Connected Subscribe, leave a 5 star review and listen to more episodes of Mindset, Health, Empowerment: The Unfiltered Trainer → https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2281546.rss Grab my book The Badass Blueprint: https://bit.ly/Badassblueprint Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ginamariefit/ Buy my guides: https://bit.ly/IMPACTSocietyTraining Sharewell: sharewellnow.com/ginamariefit
