This week’s ritual is a soft landing pad for the start of holiday season. We explore gratitude not as a cliché, but as a nervous system practice: through food, touch, community, and the small moments that make life feel a little more bearable (and beautiful).
In this episode, you’ll experience:
- An oracle pull to anchor the week’s energy
- A simple energy snapshot of current astrology
- Holistic care for Thanksgiving week: relationships, social dynamics, home cooking, food/body thoughts, rest, home environment, and joy
- A gentle reframe of food as love and connection, not calories or “earning” your plate
- Reflections on physical touch, co-regulation, and touch starvation (with a Substack piece to go deeper)
- A guided gratitude meditation to ground your body, soften your system, and reconnect with what’s here now
This episode is for you if:
- Holidays feel… complicated (grief, stress, joy, all of it at once)
- You’re navigating food anxiety, people-pleasing, or family dynamics this week
- You’ve been craving more touch, more warmth, more genuine connection
- You want a ritual that blends spiritual insight, holistic health, and real-life tenderness
Perfect to listen to while you’re traveling, prepping food, or winding down after a long holiday day.
