EPISODE 43

The holidays can be a lot — a lot of joy and a lot of hard. I asked you all what you struggle with most in the winter or around the holidays so I could offer some more personalized support for my listeners. This and next week I’ll work through more candidly answering 10 of the submissions. I’ll list all 10 here, but not before I invite you to join me at the end of this month for my biggest community event of the year (& it’s totally free).

Join me for my annual NYE circle event on Dec. 28th @ 8p ET

Holiday support questions:

1. Loneliness around a small family, not having many friends, and not having kids at my age
2. Grief for memories I will never make with my dad again
3. Sadness/grieving over not having traditional family, single mama of kid who needs tons of coregulation
4. The sadness of not being with your children for the holiday due to split custody agreement
5. Even more tactical ways to incorporate nervous system regulation into busy lives this time of year
6. Being activated (or shut down) at a holiday gathering, & anticipatory anxiety of events
7. Expectations I have for me and expectations others have for me – “no” feel like failure
8. Juggling real life with the “magic” of the season = exhausting
9. Finances
10. Pressure to make new goals

The first 5 questions are answered today, the final 5 next week. Thanks for being here friend. I’m sending you so much hope & healing.
