Christmas can be magical… or completely overwhelming, especially when you’re living with celiac disease. In this week’s episode, I’m walking you through simple, realistic ways to enjoy the festive season without stressing about gluten, cross contact, or everyone else’s expectations.

I’m sharing how I manage Christmas Day in my own gluten free household, how to talk to family about food, what to do if you’re the guest rather than the host, how to handle unsafe gifts and awkward moments, and my go-to strategy for surviving the endless December social events.

Whether you love Christmas or it fills you with dread, this episode will help you feel more prepared, more supported, and more confident heading into the festive season.

Listen in for practical tips on:

• Hosting a safe gluten free Christmas lunch
• How to talk to family about food without feeling rude
• What to do when gifts contain gluten
• Being a guest in a non-gluten free home
• Planning ahead for social events
• Staying included and reducing stress

🎧 Hit play and take the overwhelm out of Christmas.

This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes and chatting through what life has really looked like lately. With home renovations, selling our house, shifting routines, and planning our big caravan adventure, things have been a little chaotic — and that’s changed how often I can release episodes.

I’m also walking you through a full day in my life as a woman living with celiac disease — everything from my morning routine to my gym sessions, what I eat, the habits that keep me feeling my best, and a very honest update on my perimenopause journey and my experience with HRT so far.

If you’ve ever wondered what I do day to day, how I manage my health, or you’ve been curious about navigating celiac disease during busy seasons of life, this one’s for you.

Ever planned your gluten free road trip down to the last snack… only to find your lunch stop closed when you arrive?

In this follow-up episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our recent road trip from South Australia to New South Wales — what went right, what didn’t, and how a bit of flexibility saved the day. From making lunch beside a lake with last-minute supermarket finds, to being completely spoiled at a wedding that went above and beyond for gluten free guests — this trip reminded me why planning and staying open-minded go hand in hand when you have celiac disease.

If you’ve ever worried about eating while travelling, you’ll love this honest and encouraging look at how to stay safe, relaxed, and still enjoy the journey.

Tune in now and get inspired to hit the road gluten free and confident.
