December is your leverage point

Don’t let the season run you. Use it to reset your power.

December isn’t a derailment - it’s a mirror. A test. A chance to prove that your leadership doesn’t collapse when the calendar gets crowded.

In our recent EMPWRHER™ module, we explored how food choices are rarely just about hunger. They’re shaped by emotion, identity, and even fear of success. And while festive meals can be joyful, they can also trigger old patterns - especially for high-achievers juggling burnout, body goals, and big expectations.

Here are four ways to stay grounded this season:

1. Compartmentalise the cravings
Not every urge needs a reaction. Whether it’s the smell of mince pies or the dopamine hit of a cheese platter, pause and ask: is this fuel, comfort, or habit? Awareness is power.

“I used to think I couldn’t say no to baguettes. Now I remind myself: they’ll still be there tomorrow. I choose longevity today.” – Angela M.

2. Find your middle ground
Rigid rules don’t work long-term. Instead of “all or nothing,” aim for “most of the time.” Choose sushi over drive-thru or enjoy the pizza—but pair it with a walk and water.

“I reframed nutrition and empowered my family. These habits are now sustainable.” – Daniella G.

3. Reframe the fear of success
If you’ve ever worried that looking after yourself will alienate others - know this: the right people won’t be threatened by your glow-up. Let them think what they want. You’re allowed to thrive.

“I feared being ‘too much’—too visible, too successful. EMPWRHER™ helped me see that having haters means I’m doing something right.” – Gemma C.
“Instead of ‘you’re doing too much,’ it became ‘how can we help?’” – Patricia K.

4. Future-proof your plate
Every choice either serves or sabotages your future self. That doesn’t mean perfection - it means intention. Eat for energy, not just escape.

“I’ve lost 15kg and gained confidence—not just in myself, but in the information I’ve learned.” – Krista W.
“10kg lighter; mental fog cleared; ready for a supercharged year.” – Leesa T.

Whether you’re a founder, parent, or professional, your nutrition isn’t just the missing piece - it’s the foundation. And if you’re ready to finally close the circle, I’ve got something for you.

Final note
I’m only taking a handful of 1:1 clients in 2026. But for female founders who know the last piece of the puzzle is their nutrition - the EMPWRHER™ Program is for you.
Let’s make 2026 the year you stop starting over.
