Conquer Emotional Eating Before the Holidays

Join now! We start November 2nd.

 

Make This Year Different. Join Now.
This isn’t about how the holiday looks, it’s how the holiday feels. If the stress gets overwhelming and food has become your way to cope, it’s time for a change.
Because when your mind keeps pulling you back to food, it’s hard to be present for the people and moments you worked so hard to create.
 
This year, let’s spend less eating your way through stress and more time enjoying the people, traditions, and memories that make the holidays special.

 

JOIN THE EXPERIENCE NOW

Imagine the perfect holiday season.

The house smells like fresh-baked cookies.

There are stacks of presents under the Christmas tree, beautifully wrapped and color-coded for every person in your family.

The front porch is covered in lights and greenery. The banisters are wrapped in red and green. The mantel is perfectly arranged with all your favorite Christmas decorations.

Everything looks perfect.

But you're exhausted.

So exhausted that when you wake up the next morning, you realize you must have eaten half the Christmas cookies last night without even really noticing.

Why does this keep happening?

You love the holidays.

You love the traditions. The decorating. The baking. The music. The family.

And yet every year, you find yourself on the same hamster wheel.

Or...

Maybe for you it's trying to hold everything together.

Maybe it's family drama. The dreaded conversations around dinner tables or awkward silences at gatherings.

Maybe it's loneliness. A season without a beloved family member or friend.

Maybe it's exhaustion, changed routines, disappointment, or simply having everyone need something from you.

And somewhere in the middle of taking care of everyone else, you turn to food for a little relief.

A cookie here.

A treat after an errand because "I've earned it."

A handful of something while you're cleaning the kitchen.

And before you know it, you're eating your way through the season.

You get to January feeling exhausted, frustrated, and maybe carrying a few extra pounds.

And the worst part?

Those cookies helped for a moment. But it didn’t fix the stress, the loneliness, the family drama, or the exhaustion. It just left you with the same problem—and guilt about what you ate.

Food solved the moment. It didn't solve the problem.

What If This Year Could Be Different

What if you didn't have to spend another holiday season just trying to make it through without overeating?

What if you could actually thrive through it?

Not by eating perfectly.

Not by avoiding your favorite holiday foods.

Not by promising yourself you'll "be good" this year.

But by learning how to handle everything the holidays bring up without using food to handle it for you.

What if you could feel the stress, family drama, disappointment, loneliness, or overwhelm without automatically reaching for food?

What if you could take care of yourself while you're taking care of everyone else?

That's exactly what we'll work on together inside Conquer Emotional Eating Before the Holidays.

Make This Year Different. Join Now.

You don't need a perfect holiday.

You need a plan for the imperfect moments.

What Women Said Last Year

Thank you, Dara. I absolutely loved this experience. The content was so well organized and delivered in perfectly bite-sized lessons – super manageable and easy to fit into real life. The daily Q&A sessions were a huge bonus. They gave everyone a chance to ask questions, get clarity and feel supported.

 

Overall, the structure, pacing and clarity made the whole experience feel welcoming, doable and genuinely helpful. You created a really smooth and engaging learning flow, and it was a pleasure to participate. 

 

Why This Works

This isn't another diet or a challenge to see how "good" you can be around holiday food.

Because the moments that send you reaching for food usually aren't really about the food.

They're about what you're feeling in that moment.

Stress. Exhaustion. Loneliness. Disappointment. Family pressure. Overwhelm.

That's why another set of food rules isn't the answer.

Instead of spending another holiday trying to control the food, we're going to work on what makes you want the food in the first place.

You'll learn how to notice what's happening, understand what you're actually needing, and practice a different way of responding.

Because food solves the moment. Food doesn't solve the problem. 

 

Join Me At the Table and Let's Chat

Don't wait until January to figure out what happened.

Bring me the moment while you're in it.

Bring the family drama.

Bring the night you ate past comfortable.

Bring the moment you wanted food even though you weren't hungry.

Bring the fear of overeating at the party this weekend.

Bring the "I don't know why I keep doing this" moments.

Bring the victories, too.

There is no judgment here.

We'll slow the moment down together, figure out what's actually happening underneath the urge to eat, and help you practice a different way of responding.

This isn't just about learning emotional eating concepts. It's about learning how to apply them to your actual holiday life while you're living it.

Yes, I’m Putting Myself First This Time

Hi, I’m Dara

Mom of five. Professional Christmas maker. Former holiday overeater.

Every year I told myself, “I’ll relax after the holidays.”
Then I’d end up ten pounds heavier and too tired to enjoy any of it.

Since 2019, I’ve lost over 50 pounds through perimenopause and menopause — without tracking a single calorie or step.
Just by learning how my brain and body actually work together.

Now I teach women how to do the same.

My clients aren’t fitness influencers.
They’re grandmas, teachers, quilters, caregivers — women who’ve spent their lives giving to others and are finally ready to give some of that care back to themselves.

The Details:

We start Monday November 2, 12pm (BC time)

  • 10 Days of Live Q&A with Dara (Nov 2-6 & 9-13)
    Your opportunity to ask questions, talk through real-life situations, and get coaching in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
  • Short Video Lessons
    Guidance to help you understand emotional eating, your brain, your nervous system, your triggers, and the patterns that keep pulling you toward food.
  • Your Personal Holiday Plan
    You'll identify your triggers and create your own "if-then" responses so you know what to reach for when emotions hit.
  • A Different Way to Look at Yourself
    Less criticism. More curiosity. More compassion. More trust in your ability to handle hard moments.

Imagine getting to January without thinking...

"I wish I had enjoyed the holidays more."

Instead, you can look back and know:

I was there.

I enjoyed the people I love.

I ate food I wanted to eat without turning it into a guilt spiral.

I handled the hard moments differently.

I took care of myself, too.

I didn't need to be perfect.

I learned how to handle my feelings without eating them.
