As we head into Thanksgiving next week, the holidays can feel full, quiet, joyful, overwhelming, or… a mix of all of the above. In this episode, I’m sharing three simple ways to navigate the holiday with more ease, more intention, and a lot more compassion for yourself.

First, I walk you through my 24-hour gratitude practice — a realistic, grounding approach to gratitude that actually works, especially during stressful seasons.

Next, we talk holiday conversations: how to avoid the awkward stuff, redirect questions you don’t want to answer, and start meaningful, low-stress conversations around the table.

And finally, I’m acknowledging something we don’t talk about enough — not everyone spends Thanksgiving around a big table. If you’re navigating an empty nest, working, spending the holiday alone, or doing it differently this year, I’m sharing ideas to help you feel connected, supported, and grounded.

Whether you’re gathering with family, spending the day solo, or still figuring out your plans, this episode will help you move into Thanksgiving with a lighter heart and a clearer head.
