If the holidays leave you feeling exhausted, overstimulated, and secretly counting down until it’s over—you’re not alone.

In Part Two of our Holiday Burnout series, we’re going deeper.

We’re talking about what happens after you set the boundary… and the guilt, pressure, and emotional backlash that can follow.

This episode is for anyone who:

Feels responsible for everyone else’s comfort

Is tired of being “the strong one” during the holidays

Sets boundaries and then immediately questions them

Wants peace—but keeps defaulting to people-pleasing

We’ll explore why the holidays pull us back into old emotional roles, how burnout sneaks in disguised as “tradition,” and how to protect your energy without cutting off connection—or yourself.

No toxic positivity.

No “just be grateful” energy.

Just real talk, validation, and practical ways to move through the season with more ease and self-respect.

✨ If Part One made you feel seen, this episode helps you feel supported.

🎧 Listen, breathe, and remember: you don’t owe anyone your exhaustion.
