19 | Holiday Emotional Regulation: You Don’t Have to Please Everyone to Have Peace
Parenting Beyond Meltdowns is Ranked in the Top 3% of Podcasts Worldwide!
Do any of these sound familiar?
Do you feel pressure to make the holidays look “perfect” for everyone else even when you’re running on empty?
Have you ever felt torn between keeping the peace and protecting your child’s peace?
Do you long to just enjoy the day without walking on eggshells, explaining your parenting, or managing everyone’s emotions?
Wish you could show up calm, grounded, and anchored in who you are in the Father instead of trying to perform for others?
Episode Highlights
In this episode, we’re slowing down to talk about what it means to build connection while prioritizing peace over performance especially during busy family gatherings.
As a Christian mama raising a strong-willed or neurodivergent child, the holidays can bring joy… and pressure. You might face unsolicited advice, judgment, or tension around how your child behaves and how you “should” respond. But friend, you don’t have to prove, perform, or please anyone.
You’ll learn how to regulate your emotions in the moment, focus on your child’s sense of safety and connection, and create a calm, grounded atmosphere anchored in the Father’s peace. Whether your child has ADHD, Autism, ODD, PDA, or simply big emotions, this episode will remind you that peace isn’t something you chase it’s something you carry through the Holy Spirit.
Take a deep breath, release the pressure, and remember: you’re not here to perform you’re here to love well.
Faith Anchor
“The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.” — Psalm 29:11 (ESV)
You already carry the peace of the Lord within you, mama. When expectations rise and emotions run high, pause and breathe His peace anchors you even in the noise.
Blessing:
Father as we walk into this Thanksgiving, fill our hearts with peace that steadies us when expectations rise.
Remind us that we don’t have to prove ourselves that our only job is to stay anchored in Your love.
When things feel heavy or hard, whisper to our spirit, “You and your child are safe with Me.”
Let Your presence bring calm, connection, and gratitude to our homes and environments today.
In Yahusha’s Mighty Name, Amen.

Peace isn’t found in doing everything “right.”
It’s found in resting in the One who’s already made you whole.You are doing sacred work, mama showing up, loving your child, and reflecting His peace one moment at a time.
