#127: How to actually relax on holiday without feeling guilty

Taking a holiday shouldn't feel like a battle between relaxation and routine - but for so many of us, it does. In this episode, I chat about the hidden stress that often comes with time off: the anxiety around letting go of our fitness habits, eating differently, and worrying about body image. If you've ever felt guilty about enjoying your break or struggled to fully unwind, this one's for you.

I’m sharing my own experiences, plus real talk on how to let go of the pressure and actually enjoy your holiday - without throwing your health goals out the window. You’ll hear practical ways to stay mindful on vacation, why rest is just as important as movement, and how to come back to your routine feeling refreshed, not resentful.
