In this week’s episode, we tackle the often-hidden side of the holidays—the emotional triggers that surface beneath the festive lights and cheerful music. We explore the financial pressures that come with gifting and gatherings, the perfectionism that convinces us everything must look magical and effortless, the bittersweet reality of navigating the first holiday season after a loss, and the overwhelming commercialization that can make us forget what truly matters.
With compassionate insight and real-world strategies, we unpack why these triggers hit so hard and how to approach the season with more grace, authenticity, and gentleness toward yourself. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, grieving, or simply stretched thin, this conversation offers a reminder that you’re not alone—and that it’s possible to find meaning and connection even when the holidays feel heavy.
