If you’re curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma Quiz

The holidays can feel like a beautiful mess of magic and misery.

Why does this season brings up so many big feelings, from excitement to dread? I've lived on both ends of that spectrum. I've been the person who hated Christmas for years and the mom who soaks up the magic with her kids, and both of those versions of me are sitting at this table in this episode. We're going to strip things back to what actually matters so this time of year doesn't steamroll you.

Holiday burnout shows up fast when you overbook yourself, overcomplicate everything, and forget that you're allowed to say no. Simple, deliberate choices around your time, your energy, and your expectations can turn this from a season of dread into something softer and more grounded.
