Are you longing to feel regulated and restored during the holidays, instead of drained? This episode will show you how.
Whether you’re surrounded by family who trigger old patterns or spending the holiday in quiet, longing, or grief, your nervous system feels it. And if you’re healing from cancer, autoimmune disease, MS, ALS, dementia, or chronic illness, these emotional states can directly impact inflammation, sleep, energy, and symptoms.
Today’s episode is about staying grounded when connection feels complicated.
Holiday stress shows up in two primary ways: overwhelm from people, or overwhelm from absence. Both can activate the same physiological stress pathways: increasing cortisol, tightening the chest, disrupting digestion, and pulling the body into survival mode.
In this episode, we break down how to identify your triggers, how to regulate your nervous system when emotions spike, and how to create micro-moments of connection even if you're alone. You’ll learn practical tools to help you feel anchored even when others (or circumstances) feel destabilizing.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know:
You’ll leave with a simple three-part practice for staying grounded: awareness, regulation, and intentional action.
Listen now to learn how to protect your emotional and physical wellbeing during one of the most complex emotional days of the season. Whether you’re surrounded by too much noise or too much quiet, you can stay connected to yourself — and that connection supports your healing more than you know.
Up next, on Day 6, we’ll talk about intuitive versus emotional eating, cravings, and how to navigate holiday food without guilt, fear, or stress.
