The holiday season can pull your energy in a thousand different directions... plans, people, expectations, noise, and endless to-dos.
If you’ve been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself, this meditation is your soft return.

In this 7-minute grounding practice, you’ll be guided to slow down, exhale the tension you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with the calm place inside you that doesn’t disappear, even when life gets loud.

This meditation helps you:

Release holiday overwhelm

Gather back the pieces of yourself that feel stretched thin

Quiet the emotional and sensory noise of the season

Feel grounded and present again

Create space to breathe, rest, and reset

Use this meditation anytime December feels like too much or when you need a moment to remember: you’re allowed to pause. You’re allowed to come home to yourself.

If you’ve been spiraling, overanalyzing every sensation, and searching for the thing to finally fix your anxiety, this episode is your invitation to pause. What if you’re not broken? What if you’re just uncared for?

In this solo episode, Taylor shares a deeply personal and practical breakdown of why your nervous system might be dysregulated, not because you haven’t found the right protocol, but because you’ve drifted away from the simple, foundational habits that actually support healing.

It’s not about adding more. It’s about returning to what matters.

In this insightful episode, hosts Alison Seponara, MS, LPC and Taylor sit down with Dr. Kate Lyzenga-Dean, a functional medicine consultant, to explore an often-overlooked connection between low ferritin (iron storage) and anxiety symptoms.

Dr. Kate breaks down what ferritin is, why it’s essential for both mental and physical health, and how low levels can actually mimic or worsen anxiety, fatigue, and mood changes. Together, the trio uncovers how issues like heavy menstrual cycles, chronic stress, and H. Pylori infections can impact iron absorption and overall well-being.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s been told “your labs are normal” but still doesn’t feel like themselves. Dr. Kate empowers listeners to become their own health advocates, understand their lab results, and ask for the right tests to uncover what’s really going on inside the body.
