The holidays have a way of stirring the pot — mixing gratitude, grief, joy, old wounds, and new beginnings all in the same breath.

And if you’ve ever wondered, “Why does this season feel heavier than it used to?” … this episode was created for you.

In this week’s conversation, Dr. KellyRae gets deeply honest about her own evolving relationship with the holidays — from divorce, to losing her mom, to navigating divided family traditions, to learning what it means to make magic as an adult when no one made it for her.

You’ll hear:

✨ Why emotional whiplash is common this time of year

✨ How grief and gratitude can coexist without canceling each other out

✨ The pressure women carry to “hold it all together”

✨ Why old wounds resurface during holidays — and how to meet them with compassion

✨ Practical, gentle ways to care for your nervous system when the family dynamics get loud

✨ A few funny stories to remind you you’re not alone in the chaos

If the holiday season feels different than it used to… you’re not broken.

You’re human.

And this episode will help you breathe deeper, soften into your truth, and create a holiday season that feels more like yours — not what the world tells you it should be.

And remember: whatever you’re feeling this year… you don’t have to feel it alone. 🤍
