Resting Grinch Face: A Survival Guide for Holiday Perfectionists

If the holidays make you want to chug eggnog straight from the carton, this one’s for you.
This Dr. Seuss–inspired episode is equal parts poetry, nervous system science, and dark comedy for anyone drowning in tinsel and expectations.

Sarai shares her infamous “I threw up on Thanksgiving dinner” story (yes, really) to unpack how perfectionism, family pressure, and performative holiday joy mess with your nervous system. Between rhymes and raw truth, she calls out the glitter-coated bullshit of “holiday cheer” culture—because no amount of matching pajamas can regulate your cortisol.

You’ll get anti-perfection affirmations like:
It’s honest, hysterical, and healing as hell.
By the end, you’ll want to trade your sparkle for sanity and declare yourself deep in your Resting Grinch Phase—and finally mean it.
