Ep 86: Rest, Joy, and Gelato: A Self-Trust Approach to Your Health on Vacation

In this episode of Trusting Dorothy, we’re redefining what it means to be “healthy” on vacation. If you’ve ever returned from a trip feeling like you need to detox, start over, or undo what happened, this episode will shift your mindset for good.

You’ll learn how to stay grounded in self-trust, not shame, and how to see rest, joy, and gelato as supportive—not sabotaging—parts of your long-term journey.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why your perception shapes your experience more than any one choice ever could

• How to break free from the all-or-nothing vacation mindset

• Why shame about what you ate slows your progress

• How to practice embodied self-trust when traveling

• The science behind diet breaks and metabolic flexibility

• Why rest, joy, and connection are not the opposite of discipline, they’re part of health

• How to come back after vacation without starting over

Whether you’re heading off on a trip or simply recovering from a weekend away, this episode will help you anchor back into your identity as someone who trusts herself and takes care of her body—on and off vacation.
