Description

Feeling overwhelmed this Thanksgiving? Learn 10 simple, nervous-system-friendly ways to stay calm, grounded, and present—no matter what the day brings.

Today’s episode is your calm-in-the-chaos guide for Thanksgiving. If you’re feeling holiday stress, overwhelm, or emotional heaviness creeping in, this short, grounding episode will help you come back home to yourself — no matter what the day looks like.

Inside, you’ll learn 10 simple, nervous-system-friendly ways to stay calm, present, and regulated during the holidays. These tools work whether you’re cooking, hosting, driving, or taking a quiet moment to yourself between it all.

We talk about:
• how to set one clear boundary (even if it feels uncomfortable)
• why tiny pauses help regulate your nervous system
• letting yourself feel without judgment
• choosing the simplest path through holiday stress
• honoring your capacity instead of your calendar
• giving yourself permission to be human during the holidays

If you want practical emotional support, gentle reminders, and grounding tools for your mind, body, and heart — this episode is for you.
