184. Feeling the Holiday Crash Coming? Protect Your Energy With This Simple Plan

from Chronic Illness Moms | Feel Better, Stress Relief, Fatigue, Inflammation, Brain Fog, Healthy Habits, Neurodivergent · host Ashley Braden - Certified Health Coach, Sleep & Stress Management Coach, Neurodivergent Mom

Hey friend,  Why do you feel drained before the day even starts during the holidays? Are you planning your December based on what you want to do or what your body actually has capacity for? What would shift in your home if you used a capacity plan instead of pushing through? Hi friend, I’m Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you’re dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you’re not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and find steadier footing — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. In this episode, I’m teaching you how to create a simple capacity-based plan for the holidays so you can protect your energy, support your symptoms, and avoid burnout. This is especially powerful for moms navigating chronic illness while supporting neurodivergent kids through all the sensory and routine changes this season brings. You’ll learn the “one anchor event” method, the 15% buffer rule, and practical ways to plan your December around your real capacity — not pressure, guilt, or expectations.
