‍November '25, Issue 2

‍Dear Visitor,

I know the holidays can feel especially hard when you've lost someone you love.

While everything around us looks cheerful and festive, it often brings our sadness and longing into sharper focus—reminding us of who is no longer here.

Because I've been through this myself, I know how overwhelming this time of year can be. But over the years, I've discovered something that genuinely helps: what and when we eat can make a huge difference to how we cope with emotional triggers, fatigue, and the pressures that build up around Christmas.

It's all about how we can turn food into real 'treats'—ones that support, nourish, and truly comfort us through the holiday season.

That's why I'm running three free online workshops in December.

‍What We'll Explore Together

In these 60-minute sessions, we'll look at simple, practical ways to use food and daily routines to support your mood, energy, and emotional resilience—without restricting yourself or giving up treats.

You'll discover:

✨ Why food matters for our emotions (especially when grief makes us vulnerable to triggers everywhere)

✨ Small food swaps that make a big difference to how you feel throughout the day

✨ How to say goodbye to processed foods without feeling deprived

✨ What 'intermittent fasting' really means (and whether it helps or hurts when grieving)

✨ The first rule about snacking (spoiler: it's simpler than you think)

✨ The no. 1 nutrient your body needs right now to help it heal

When we understand which small shifts have the biggest impact, it becomes easier to make choices that truly support us—even during the most difficult season.

‍A Safe Space to Connect

These workshops offer more than information. They're a safe space where you can connect with others who understand, share if you feel comfortable, and leave feeling more supported and less alone.

You'll come away with easy, manageable tips and tools you can start using straightaway—whether you're hosting, travelling, or simply trying to get through the day.

‍Choose Your Date

Each workshop covers the same content, so just pick whichever time works best for you:

📅 Thursday, 5th December — 7–8pm GMT / 2–3pm ET
📅 Tuesday, 10th December — 5–6pm GMT / 12–1pm ET
📅 Friday, 13th December — 4–5pm GMT / 11am–12pm ET

All sessions are online, live, and interactive. You can ask questions and get real-time support.

Hearing and answering your most burning questions is one of my favourite parts of these workshops.

‍Want the Full Guide?

Much of what I share in these workshops is expanded in my book, Nourishing Through Loss: A Gentle Holiday Guide—a comprehensive resource with over 50 recipes, emergency meal ideas for low-energy days, and practical strategies for social gatherings, travelling, and how to set up your kitchen for more joy with cooking.

If you'd like everything in one place to reference throughout the season (and beyond):

• Get the Paperback → [Amazon link]
• Get the PDF (save £5) → [PDF link] — Instant access, no waiting for delivery
  

But the workshop is completely free and stands alone—no need to buy anything to benefit from it.

It would be lovely to see you at one of my free workshops if it feels right for you.

Even one small shift in how you nourish yourself can make Christmas feel a little more manageable.

Much love,

Sabine

P.S. If you can't make the live workshops, I'm also launching a new video series this week called "Your Christmas Survival Guide"—all about turning food into real treats that support, nourish, and comfort you. Subscribe here so you don't miss these videos.
