This episode is your grounding anchor for one of the most emotionally loud seasons of the year. If you’re intuitive, empathic, spiritually gifted, or energy-sensitive, the holidays hit differently — not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because your nervous system remembers everything.

Inside this episode, I’ll walk you through:
✨ why the holidays activate old patterns and memories
✨ how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition
✨ simple, somatic tools to stay energetically clear
✨ how to regulate when everyone around you is overwhelmed
✨ why you need more spaciousness than ever
✨ the #1 mistake spiritually gifted people make during the holidays
✨ and why your intuition gets stronger in community

Plus — I’ll share why this season might be calling you into deeper boundaries, greater self-trust, and the next version of your intuitive leadership.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, unclear, or “not like yourself,” this episode will help you return to a grounded, confident, intuitive version of you — no matter what chaos is happening around you.
