In this episode, Summer breaks down what really happens when you step into family gatherings, old friendships, or familiar environments — and suddenly you feel yourself slipping back into an older version of you. Whether it's a tone from a parent, a joke you no longer align with, or a familiar pattern your body remembers, this episode explains why it happens and how to stay grounded in your highest self. You'll explore the psychology, the energetic patterns, and the tools you can use to stay rooted, regulated, and unshakeable as the holiday season approaches.
