The holidays are marketed as a season of joy, gratitude, and togetherness—but for cycle breakers, sensitive souls, and anyone healing their lineage, this time of year can feel deeply activating.

In this episode, Riva offers trauma-informed wisdom for navigating the holidays with clarity, nervous system safety, and emotional sovereignty. If you’re the one in your family doing things differently, healing old patterns, or reshaping your values, this episode will help you feel grounded and supported through the complexity of the season.

You'll explore:

🧡 Why the holidays can be especially triggering for cycle breakers
🧡 How family dynamics, grief, and ancestral patterns show up this time of year
🧡 Why cultural narratives around “gratitude” and “togetherness” often miss the mark
🧡 The importance of land acknowledgment and reclaiming the true history of this day
🧡 How to intentionally choose what this season means for you
