Do you know that the holidays are supposed to be joyful and cheerful, but too often, they become stressful?

The holidays are meant to bring warmth, connection, and joy, but for many of us, they bring pressure, exhaustion, and overwhelm instead.

Between endless to-do lists, family expectations, and the pressure to make everything perfect, we often lose sight of what the season is really about: connection, peace, and presence.

In this episode, Coach Elix and Steven dive into the neuroscience of holiday stress, why our brains go into overdrive, and how small mindset shifts and healthy boundaries can bring back balance and calm.

On this episode of Get a G.R.I.P. with Coach Elix, we're talking about how to find peace in the chaos, release perfectionism, and create your own version of holiday joy.

Because the holidays aren't meant to be survived—they're meant to be lived.

Today, we're exploring how to stress less, laugh more, and feel truly present this season.

🧠 We'll uncover why holiday stress happens, how to set healthy boundaries, and simple ways to protect your peace and energy.

What's one thing that usually stresses you out during the holidays—and how are you choosing to handle it differently this year?

Grief isn't always about death.
Sometimes it's about the dreams we outgrew, the relationships that changed, the expectations that never became reality, or the versions of ourselves we've had to let go of.

Grief is love that has nowhere to go—and healing begins the moment we allow ourselves to feel it.

On this episode, my co-host and husband, Steven the Medium, and I explore the invisible losses—and the power of honoring what we've quietly carried for too long.

💔 What loss have you carried quietly for too long?

We all grieve things no one else sees—dreams that didn't happen, people who changed, and parts of ourselves we've left behind.

Listen in as we talk about the grief we don't talk about.

What happens when the person who hurt you never says "I'm sorry"?

Do you hold on… or do you let go for your own peace?

We're talking about something every single one of us has struggled with at some point — forgiveness without an apology.

You know those moments when someone hurt you — and never owned it, never said "I'm sorry" — yet you're still carrying the weight?

Today, we're unpacking what it means to truly forgive, even when the other person never makes it right.

Because forgiveness isn't about them — it's about you: your peace, your healing, and your freedom.

This week on our episode, we open up about the power of releasing anger, resentment, and the need for closure — and how forgiveness is not for them; it's for you.

You deserve peace, not pain.

You deserve freedom, not resentment.

You deserve to move forward — even if they never said "sorry."

The question is:-

Who are you still waiting on to make things right?

Today, I invite you to release one thing, one person, or one story that's still weighing you down — and choose peace instead.
