If the holiday season already feels a little heavy, this episode is your deep breath. Today’s Thanksgiving Pep Talk is here to help you protect your peace, honor your energy, and walk into the holiday feeling a little more grounded, grateful, and supported.

We’re talking about resetting expectations, letting go of the pressure to be everything for everyone, and finding small moments of joy even in the chaos. You’ll walk away with simple mindset shifts, gentle reminders, and practical encouragement you can actually use on the busiest week of the season.

Whether you’ll be traveling, hosting, or trying to keep tiny humans alive while making a pie — this pep talk is here to remind you that you are doing better than you think, you deserve peace, and this holiday can still be meaningful… even if it’s messy.

Grab a cozy drink, take a breath, and let’s get encouraged.
