For moms in ED recovery who want structure + permission — not more rules.

Does Halloween make you want to panic-eat a Snickers in the pantry before the kids find you?

You want them to enjoy childhood — but you don’t want stash battles, sugar meltdowns, or that low-key shame spiral when you start grabbing “just one more.”

You promised yourself you wouldn’t project your food struggles onto them.

And yet here you are: tiptoeing between total free-for-all and full sugar police.

This workshop is for that moment.

There’s a Third Way that actually builds trust — in you and in your child.

It blends predictable structure + real permission + simple scripts so the novelty fades, the power struggles drop, and your kids learn to self-regulate sweets naturally.

What we’ll map together (step-by-step):

  • Halloween Night Plan → dump, sort, choose, enjoy — without spiraling

  • Day-After Rhythm → predictable snack windows + a special stash spot

  • Next-Two-Weeks Flow → how to handle “one more?” without shame or shutdown

Here’s What We’ll Create

This isn’t a lecture — it’s a working session.

You’ll fill out your plan alongside Crystal and leave with your personalized play-by-play ready for Halloween night.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A tailored Halloween-night script that fits your kids’ ages & personalities

  • A post-Halloween stash plan that ends “out of sight, out of mind” loops

  • Your family’s two-week follow-up rhythm (predictable, pressure-free)

  • Live Q+A coaching to troubleshoot your sticky scenarios

  • A printable workbook + one-page decision tree to keep by the pantry

Bring Your Stick Situations

Got a candy stasher?

A kid who eats until they’re sick?

A spouse who “hides the Reese’s”?

Bring your real-life dynamics — we’ll troubleshoot them live.

You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and words that actually work in your home.

Here’s What’s Inside the Workshop…

In 75 minutes, we’ll cover:

  • Scripts you can say tonight when the bucket hits the table

  • Repair without shame (for the year someone eats till they feel sick)

  • Switch Witch, reframed: why it spikes scarcity & what to do instead

  • Boundaries without guilt: structure vs. stealth rules

  • The Stash System: setup that makes candy less “loud” tomorrow

  • “One more?” moments: calm responses that teach self-trust

    Laurie P., Mom of 4

  • “This wasn’t just another talk about sugar. I left with my own step-by-step plan and the exact words to say when the candy comes out. I’ve never felt this calm heading into Halloween.”

    Anita K., Mom of 2

  • “I used to dread Halloween every year. After this workshop, I finally have a plan that actually works for our family—and it feels peaceful instead of chaotic.”
