She specializes in anxiety, emotional well-being, and parenting—and brings a grounded, compassionate, deeply human approach to everything she teaches.We talk about what really makes this time of year so emotionally charged for women, how to let go of perfection and obligation, and how to choose what is truly life-giving for you and your family (even if that means doing things differently this year).In this conversation, we explore:Niro’s unexpected (and deeply faith-led) journey from private practice to national mediaWhy the holidays feel so intense for so many womenHow Niro’s own story shaped All Is Calm-ishSimple, realistic ways to create more calm, joy, and breathing roomThe kind of self-care that actually supports you (beyond manicures and massages)If you’re craving a season that feels more grounded and less overwhelming, this episode is for you.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE:Follow Niro Feliciano on Instagram: @nirofelicianoLearn more on Niro's website: www.nirofeliciano.comCheck out Niro’s new book: All Is Calm-ish: How to Feel Less Frantic and More Festive During the HolidaysWant to go deeper?🎁Join me for my virtual workshop, The Gift of Rest, this holiday season—a gentle, guided reset before the rush of the holidays.Send me a text -- I'd love to hear your questions for the show!If you're longing for a summer that feels more spacious, supported, and more like yourself again, I'm opening a small number of private mentorship spots this season through The Summer Sanctuary.
