Is it November already? Are you prepared for the upcoming holidays, or do you find yourself wanting to hide under the covers until they're over?


This time of year can bring unwanted gifts, even though we are expected to be grateful and cheerful. You might be dealing with the recent loss of a loved one, navigating the complexities of a divorce, or facing shifting dynamics with your children as they grow older and create their own families and traditions. When unwanted changes occur, how can we prepare so the holidays suck just a little less?


In this heartfelt episode, I share how my holidays are changing this year and what steps I’m taking to manage them. I also offer nine powerful tips to help you cope with mixed feelings and make your holidays more fulfilling.


What you’ll learn:


  • How to accept and normalize the mixed emotions that come up, such as grief and gratitude.
  • A better understanding of why mixed feelings are common during times of transition and celebration.
  • Develop a better understanding of why mixed feelings are common during transitions and celebrations.
  • What a personal holiday toolbox is and how having one can significantly enhance your emotional well-being.
  • Simple somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body and be more present
  • Strategies on how to handle difficult conversations with ‘you know who’.
  • The importance of setting boundaries and how to protect your energy.
  • Innovative ways to create new holiday traditions and memories.



Tune in to feel more supported, present, and connected within yourself, while creating a season that feels more authentic, aligned, and free.


From my heart and house to yours,


Laurie
