The Party Season Guide to Staying Fit

With the festive and wedding season underway, it seems there's a never-ending string of social events to attend. And while it brings with it the joy of meeting friends, dressing up, and reunions, back-to-back events can take a toll on our well-being. As a health coach, here's my handy guide on how to celebrate while keeping one's health in check.

SNACK UP BEFORE HEADING OUT

Opt for a light meal or a heavy snack—think scrambled eggs and veggies, hummus with carrots and cucumbers, or a small plate of home-cooked food before heading out. This way, you won't reach the party starving and ready to binge on heavy, deep-fried munchies until dinner's finally served. The key is to enjoy everything in moderation and not overdo it. It's all about balance.

'Femininity' Is Coming for Your Feminism

In the recording studio, Allie Beth Stuckey sits on a cream sofa, her blonde hair perfectly tousled. She leans into the microphone and speaks. She's chatty and fun, interspersing the serious with the silly and, at first glance, she's just like any other podcaster. In many ways, Stuckey's entire brand is built on being a regular 'girl's girl'. Her hair is impeccably blow-dried, she hates matcha, wears floral dresses, and throws in pop culture references like she's just another millennial on group chat. Her podcast is called Relatable and that's exactly what she wants to be to her listeners. But Stuckey isn't just here to chat. She's here to convert.
