the holiday survival guide for your nervous system

from Chief of Self · host Mady Maio

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve really been leaning into lately: slowing down. The time change hits, the days get darker, and instead of fighting it, I’ve been treating it as an invitation to rest, reset, and get a little cozier. From no-phone evenings to grandma hobbies and simple holiday rituals, this one’s all about learning to move through the season a little softer.✨ In this episode:My hot take on why I love when it gets dark earlyCozy rituals to help you unwind (no phones, real books, legs up the wall)“Grandma hobbies” as mindfulness disguised as playSimple traditions: cookie swaps, Galsgiving, etcMy favorite mindset reframes for slowing down without guiltIf you’re ready to romanticize rest, build cozy rituals, and give yourself permission to do it all slower...this one’s for you.🎙️ Listen every Tuesday for new episodes of Chief of Self, my cozy, big-sister podcast for mindset, growth, and the messy process of becoming your highest self.Watch the podcast here.STAY CONNECTED WITH ME:InstagramTikTokYouTube
