Episode 33
Monday, 15 December, 2025
What if the guilt you feel after a slip-up is actually more damaging than the slip itself?So many people approach the holidays believing one cookie, one skipped workout, or one moment of overwhelm means they’ve “ruined” their healing. But that narrative isn’t true — and it’s undermining your progress far more than any single choice ever could.In today’s episode of Renegade Remission, we’re dismantling the myth of “falling off the wagon” and replacing it with a new, science-backed understanding of healing: one rooted in compassion, nervous system safety, and resilience.You’ll learn how guilt elevates cortisol, increases inflammation, disrupts digestion and sleep, and keeps your body stuck in fight-or-flight, in other words, the exact opposite of the healing state your cells need. And more importantly, you’ll learn how small, intentional resets can bring you back into alignment instantly.By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:Why falling off the wagon is a myth, and healing is continuous, not linearHow guilt hijacks your nervous system and increases inflammationWhy self-compassion accelerates healing more effectively than disciplineHow to use slip-ups as information, and not beat yourself up over themSimple reset rituals (breath, hydration, movement, mindset shifts) that get you back on track in secondsHow to separate your identity from your actions — the key to breaking lifelong guilt patternsYou’ll walk away with a new framework for staying grounded, kind, and committed to your health during the holidays — without perfectionism, shame, or self-criticism.Today, choose one small act of reconnection: a deep breath, a glass of water, a grounding pause, or a compassionate thought. Let that be your reset — your signal to step back into healing gently and without judgment.And join us in our next episode for Day 10, where we’ll explore how to stay calm and centered in the midst of holiday chaos, no matter what’s happening around you.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.
