In today’s episode, I walk you through the three early signs that your body is slipping into a flare and the three simple steps you can take to stop it from stealing your whole week.

Hey friend,

Do holiday gatherings leave you feeling overstimulated, tense, or emotionally overwhelmed before you even arrive?

Are you carrying the pressure to keep everyone happy — even when your body is already exhausted?

What would it feel like to walk into a family event knowing you and your spouse already have a plan?

In this episode, I’m talking about why holiday gatherings can feel so draining when you’re living with chronic symptoms — and why the pressure to “keep the peace” can increase stress, brain fog, and fatigue. I walk you through the nervous-system side of people-pleasing, how to support your neurodiverse child during unpredictable environments, and the simple conversation you and your spouse can have before a gathering to help you both feel calmer and more prepared. You’ll leave with practical tools to reduce stress, honor your limits, and protect your peace during the holidays.

Hey friend,

Are you exhausted because you’re trying to keep everyone happy during the holidays?

How much stress is your nervous system holding because you’re afraid to disappoint people?

What would your body feel like if you let go of even one people-pleasing “should”? In today’s episode, I’m talking about why people-pleasing hits moms with chronic symptoms so hard during the holidays — especially when supporting neurodivergent kids. I break down how emotional overload triggers physical symptoms, why guilt feels so heavy in December, and how to release expectations without disappointing everyone. You’ll walk away with simple boundaries, a kinder inner voice, and a nervous system that finally feels supported.
