Ways To Honor Our Needs Around the Holidays, & I Lost My Sh*t; It's Not About The Gravy!

GUEST

Solo Episode

EPISODE OVERVIEW

How I'm simplifying Thanksgiving and consciously making changes so I don't lose my sh*t again this Thanksgiving (and if I do, I'll practice radical self-compassion). How can we use mindfulness to create more peace during this holiday season? I talk about boundaries, and what can make it difficult to set boundaries. I also talk about some of the challenges and benefits of having a practice for gratitude, and then there's the famous replay from last Thanksgiving.
