This time of year can feel so different for all of us — joyful, chaotic, happy, heavy, introspective, playful, hard. Or maybe it feels like a little bit of all of this — all at once. As parents, caregivers, partners, creators, business owners -- whatever roles you're playing — the holidays undoubtedly take a lot out of each of us. 

If you’re already juggling the mental load, the emotional load, the planning, the prepping, the hosting, and the everything-in-between… this episode is your reminder that you get to pause, too.

This short bonus episode offers a calming Grounded Gratitude meditation — created as a reminder to tune in and take a moment for yourself... especially when things start to feel chaotic. 

In this meditation, you’ll:

• Slow down your breath and settle your system
• Shift out of tension and into presence
• Anchor into gratitude without bypassing how you actually feel
• Reconnect with your own energy before you give to everyone else
• Create a sense of steadiness you can carry through the holiday chaos

The holidays don't have to hijack your nervous system. And you deserve moments of care, too. Gratitude can feel grounded and real — not forced or performative. 

You’ll move through the season differently when anchor into yourself first. 

Press play and give yourself this moment. You’re worth the pause.
