Take one gentle breath with me before the day begins, before the timer starts, before the oven heats, before the swirl of noise and love and expectation arrives.

This episode is a soft Thanksgiving reframe.

Not the kind that asks you to perform gratitude or hold it all together…

but the kind that reminds your nervous system:

You’re here.

You’re safe.

You get to choose how today feels.

In this quiet, grounded reflection, we’ll explore:

✨ Why holidays often activate old patterns

✨ The subtle pressure to “manage” connection

✨ How to create ease instead of effort

✨ Why presence is more powerful than performance

✨ A simple way to let your body lead the day

This isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being present.

It’s about choosing gentleness over vigilance.

And it’s about letting today be easier than your system expects.
