Holiday Boundaries: Protecting Peace for You and Your Kids

The holidays can bring warmth and joy - but also pressure, guilt, and emotional overload.In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Brooke Ervin, owner of Apricus Counseling Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, to talk about what happens to our bodies when we overextend emotionally - and how healthy boundaries can protect both our peace and our physical health.They unpack how chronic stress around family, travel, and expectations can disrupt the nervous system, immune balance, and even children’s emotional regulation. Then, they share practical, compassionate ways to simplify, say no, and model emotional safety this season - with confidence! If you’ve ever left the holidays feeling drained, resentful, or overstimulated, this conversation will help you reimagine what “making it magical” really means - for your whole family’s well-being.Find Guest, Brooke Ervin, LPCC-S, CIMHP at: Website: https://www.apricuscounseling.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/apricuscounselingInstagram: @heyheyelizabethmaeWebsite: www.heyheymae.com
