Episode 99- Eating and the Holidays, Interview with Bernie Byars, LPC

In this episode of An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth, Sydney and Kelly sit down with Bernie Byars, LPC, for an insightful conversation about food and eating challenges that often surface during the holiday season. Together, they explore the emotional, relational, and cultural pressures surrounding meals, and Bernie offers practical guidance for navigating these moments.

  • Society has moralized food...labeling what is "good" and "bad"
  • Mindset for holiday eating
  • All foods have a time and place
  • You don't have to eat what you don't like
  • Don't go into a meal starving
  • Knowing when you are hungry or full
  • Not judging others or ourselves
  • What I eat should be the least important thing about me
  • Don't yuck on other people's yum
  • Fat is not bad
