About the Episode
In this episode of The Holiday Survival Podcast, Erin sits down with Certified Health Coach Tess Cheng to explore what sustainable wellness really looks like during the holiday season. Instead of rigid rules or unrealistic expectations, Tess shares practical, compassionate strategies that help you take care of yourself without sacrificing joy, connection, or your favorite foods.
Together, they dive into the emotional ups and downs of the season—why stress eating happens, how travel disrupts routines, and what it actually means to stay “consistent” when life gets busy. Tess breaks down how to stay grounded, nourished, and supported, even when your schedule (or your feelings) are all over the place.
In this episode, we cover:
Staying connected to your health goals without falling into perfectionism
Navigating emotional eating with more awareness and less shame
Healthier fast food + grab-and-go choices during busy travel days
Easy ways to move your body when routines fall apart
Protecting your sleep when the holidays get hectic
Building habits that last long after the season ends
