Join behavioral health expert Steven Mauro and psychiatrist MaryEllen Eller, MD, as they explore why lasting change is rooted in mindset and meaning—not willpower. Successfully maintaining health goals can be challenging; we know this isn't a knowledge problem. Emotional ties and stress constantly influence how we eat.

In this engaging session, you’ll discover how to 'reauthor your food story' with kindness and curiosity. We’ll focus on small steps that lead to big health outcomes. You'll learn to celebrate small shifts, appreciate what's working, and use habit slips as helpful data rather than as failures.

Finally, we'll explore how social connection makes healthy choices feel normal. Let’s build sustainable habits together for a meaningful and purpose-filled life.
