Episode 9: Regulated, Not Rushed at Home for the Holidays

The holidays can bring joy, connection, and comfort, but they can also awaken old memories, family dynamics, and nervous system responses we thought we had outgrown.In this episode of Faith in Focus: A Moment for Your Mind, Coach Gigi invites you into a slower, wiser way of showing up at home for the holidays. Through Scripture, lived experience, and gentle psychological insight, this conversation explores what it means to move from survival to stewardship, to stay present without shrinking, and to regulate your body without rushing your healing.You will learn how renewal begins in the mind, how memory lives in the body, and why wisdom sometimes looks like pacing yourself, setting boundaries, and letting certain fires cool before touching them again.This episode is for anyone who loves their family, has grown in faith and maturity, and is learning how to remain steady in familiar spaces.Healing is holy.📚 Books by Coach GigiChildren’s BooksChef Gigi Saves the Dayhttps://a.co/d/7cprHL7Gigi’s French Bakeryhttps://a.co/d/5lUJ9QyMy Body Is God’s Gifthttps://a.co/d/iEwYbVxAdult Faith and Healing BooksWithholding Love: When Intimacy Becomes a WeaponCatch and Release: Seeds of DeceptionBeautifully BrokenJesus Lover of My Soul: Helping Women Worship Through Griefhttps://a.co/d/8NzA35Zhttps://a.co/d/a4AViP5https://a.co/d/bBCiNIw🖥 Author Websitehttps://geletaparker.com/🌐 Nonprofit, Programs, Giving, and Supporthttps://focusfaithmentalhealth.com/🎧 Learn more, listen, book, or support the missionhttps://focusfaithmentalhealth.com/💛 FOCUS: Faith & Mental Health, Inc.Serving women, children, and families where mental health meets the ministry of hope.🎶 Music Credit“Be Still and Know That I Am God”Written and composed by Geleta Parker.Arrangement and piano accompaniment by Debary Thompson
