Episode 3: A Gentle New Year Reset - How to Clear Kitchen Stress and Start Fresh With Food

The start of a new year often comes with pressure to overhaul everything, especially when it comes to food. In this episode, we’re taking a different approach.

Instead of adding more rules or routines, we walk through a gentle New Year reset focused on reducing stress, clearing mental clutter, and making food feel simpler and more supportive again.

We talk about how to:

• Take an honest inventory of what’s actually causing stress in your kitchen and food life

• Use deep cleaning and decluttering as a mental reset

• Identify common stress points around our life

• Let go of rigid food rules that increase pressure instead of helping

• Simplify cooking so meals feel more doable during both calm and stressful times

This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by food, burned out by diet culture, or just wants to start the year feeling lighter, calmer, and more prepared, without restriction or guilt.

Whether you’re craving a fresh start or simply want less stress around meals, this conversation is about creating space, not striving for perfection.
