In this solo episode, I talk about the two opposite sides of holiday season: 1) the beauty of slowing down and connecting, and 2) the stress that can come with all of those to-do lists, travels, and plans. I discuss the importance of calming your nervous system — not just during the holidays, but as a year-round foundation for your health. I share simple, practical tools you can use to transition from a state of chronic stress to a more mindful and peaceful state of being. Whether you're dealing with holiday pressures or everyday stressors, this episode will help you slow down and truly enjoy the present moment.
