The holiday season can bring joy — but it can also stir memories, emotional triggers, and complicated family dynamics. In this conversation with Mackenzie Reed, LPC, we explore how to navigate the holidays with gentleness, self-awareness, and realistic expectations.
We discuss: • why the holidays often intensify emotional responses • how to prepare your nervous system for difficult gatherings • practical, compassionate boundaries • how to honor your healing while still entering the season with hope
This episode originally aired November 18, 2024, and remains one of the most grounding conversations for women entering the holidays with mixed emotions.
