Summary
Halloween’s got enough monsters. Your relationship with candy shouldn’t be one of them. In this episode, we dive broom first into the sugar fueled chaos of Halloween week to talk about how not to turn candy into a moral crisis. From ditching the “how many burpees for a Snickers” mindset to reclaiming candy as just, well, candy, we are breaking the spell of guilt, shame, and “I’ll start over Monday” energy once and for all. This is your permission slip to enjoy the night, no strings attached. We also share some clever trends in this episode like Switch Witch and the Purple Pumpkin Project. Heard of them? Have a listen.
