Holiday Boundaries to Prevent Burnout and Overfunctioning

Description

The holiday season is a major trigger for women with super traits. There is more emotional labor, more pressure to keep the peace, more overgiving, and more shutdown. When you overfunction during the holidays, it leads to burnout, resentment, loneliness, and a sense of feeling unseen, even when you are surrounded by people.

I break down practical holiday survival tips to help you stop overgiving and set boundaries without guilt. This includes a holiday emotional load audit to identify invisible responsibilities, a simple rule to reduce burnout, a clear boundary tool for handling pressure in the moment, and a short pleasure-centered reset to regulate your nervous system when stress activates old survival patterns.

These tools are designed for high-achieving women who know their patterns but still collapse into overfunctioning when family dynamics, expectations, and emotional labor increase.

I share relationship and single check-ins to help you see where you feel supported, emotionally safe, and more like yourself, and where overfunctioning is still running the show. This creates clarity around what needs to change so the holidays no longer cost you your energy, desire, or sense of self.

Take the free Super Trait Quiz to understand why these patterns show up so strongly during the holidays.

Book a Super Trait Audit for clarity on where overfunctioning is costing you energy, connection, and desire.

Apply for the Pleasure Centered Society if you are ready to stop carrying the emotional load and start being met.
