Episode 347: When the Holidays Trigger Every Old Wound: How to Get Through Without Losing Yourself


Listen Later

The holidays have a magical way of triggering every wound you've ever had. In this solo episode, I'm sharing how you can take care of yourself so you don't lose your mind, your center, or your sanity in the process. Whether this is your first holiday season post separation, you're holding it together until January to file, or you're already divorced and juggling co-parenting, conflict, grief, or the pressure to make everything look "fine," nothing you're feeling means you're a bad mom or a bad person. It means you're human, and you deserve far more gentleness than you've ever been taught to give yourself.

You'll hear me walk you through the predictable triggers and patterns that show up this time of year and why the holidays feel so damn hard. And together, we'll shift into a new way of moving through the season that protects your peace and honors your truth.

What you'll hear about in this episode:

  • The predictable patterns and triggers that show up every holiday season

  • What your holiday reactions are actually rooted in and why they feel so overwhelming

  • A new way of approaching the season that protects your peace and honors your truth

  • Seven practical ways to care for yourself so you stay connected instead of collapsing under the pressure
