If you’ve ever hosted a holiday that looked picture-perfect and secretly wanted to crawl under the table mid-dinner—this one’s for you.
In this Dr. Seuss-inspired episode, Sarai gets real about the overachiever spiral that turns “festive” into “fight-or-flight.” From curated chaos to the silent panic of being everyone’s emotional support human, she calls out the bullshit of holiday perfectionism and gives your body something it actually needs: rest & reset.
You’ll learn grounding, gentle nervous-system resets that help you unclench from performance mode and drop back into presence—like bilateral tapping to calm your brain’s alarm system, progressive muscle relaxation to release tension, slow sways that tell your body it’s safe again, and a few small but powerful ways to move energy without losing your mind.
This isn’t hustle culture’s version of self-care. It’s the antidote.
So take off the matching pajamas, leave the dishes, and join your own nervous system for once.
Perfection’s overrated.
