As we gear up for the holidays, the air fills with the promise of festive feasts and mouth watering treats. But, nestled within the cheer, there’s a common challenge – the ever-persistent “food pushers.” 

 Today, we’re diving into a topic that pops up a lot – dealing with what my clients call ‘food pushers.’ You know, those folks who really want you to eat their stuff, especially during the holidays. I’ve never had a problem saying no, but I get that it’s a big deal for many of you. So, let’s chat about handling these situations without feeling pressured. Whether it’s a friend at a potluck or a family member insisting you try their dish, we’ve all been there.
