If there’s one question I’m asked in almost every one of my first coaching sessions with a new client, it’s: “How did you liberate yourself from the diet mentality?”
Such a great question.
If you find yourself perpetually stuck in the starting-a-new-diet-every-Monday cycle, today’s video is for you, beautiful. xx

I’d love to hear from you in the comments below, gorgeous. Do you find yourself getting trapped in the diet mentality? What triggers it for you? How do you deal with it? And what thoughts or patterns are you ready to liberate yourself from?

It’s when I travel that I get perpetually stuck in the “On Monday…” cycle of thinking. And with a food and travel blog, and family in both hemispheres, my husband and I do A LOT of travel. So I feel like I’m stuck in a cycle of extremely healthy home living versus unhealthy travel living.
I have to be honest – no idea how to get out of my travel cycle. I know the things I could do differently are being more prepared and doing things like stocking up on Vega bars for when I’m in a bind, but argh… I’m not always organised enough!
I do love your tips on balancing it out when you’ve had a bad day or two.

Being more prepared can definitely help. Could you make large batches of things when you’re at home – things like healthy bars/muffins that you could store in the freezer and then quickly pull out to take with you on your travels? Could you download an app to help you locate healthy food when you arrive? And/or book a room with a mini kitchen and make at least some of the meals (like breakfast) yourself?
It can take a bit of effort at first (effort that can be hard to muster when we’re busy) but after a while it can become just as natural as packing. 🙂 I hope you find some tricks that work for you. Huge love and safe travels. xx
