Holidays, Mental Health & Finding Your Own Way Through It

The holidays are coming — and with them, a whole storm of emotions, expectations, and family chaos wrapped in shiny paper. In this episode, I’m breaking down why the holidays hit so hard for so many of us (hint: it’s not just the in-laws or the turkey), and how to handle it with real, evidence-based tools that actually work.

We’ll talk about: 🎄 Why family dynamics resurface the second you walk through the door 🧠 How anxiety, grief, and guilt show up during “the most wonderful time of the year” 💬 How to set boundaries without drowning in shame ✨ DBT skills like STOPP, DEAR MAN, and Radical Acceptance to keep you grounded ❤️ And most importantly — how to treat yourself with compassion when it all feels too much

This isn’t your typical “stay positive” holiday pep talk — it’s an honest, funny, and real conversation about surviving the season with your sanity (and self-respect) intact.

If the holidays make you want to hide in your car between family events, this episode’s for you.

🎧 Listen now and get your emotional toolkit ready for the chaos — one deep breath at a time.
