Boundaries & Family: How to Navigate the Holiday Chaos Without Losing Your Shit

The holidays are here, which means parties, family gatherings, emotional landmines, and a whole lot of people you wouldn’t normally spend five minutes with… let alone an entire evening.In this episode, we get brutally honest about what it really takes to walk into those rooms without slipping back into the old version of yourself. The people-pleaser. The peacekeeper. The one who lets everyone else’s comfort matter more than your own. No more.This year, you’re showing up differently. You’re trusting your gut. You’re reading the room. You’re keeping your own damn peace.We’re talking about intuition, boundaries, emotional self-protection, and why the holidays are so triggering, plus the science behind why your nervous system reacts the way it does.If you’ve ever opened the door to a holiday party, taken one look around, and thought, “Oh shit... here we go again,” this episode is your survival guide.Have a specific topic you want me to cover?
