The holiday season can be beautiful, but also overwhelming! In this episode, Heather and Vanessa sit down to talk honestly about navigating food, family, social pressure, self-care during a time of year when our routines & nervous systems can get stretched thin. We share how we personally create grounding stillness during the holidays, including:
- Morning and evening rituals that support calm + connection
- Strategies to reduce overwhelm at gatherings
- How we maintain food sovereignty without rigidity
- Navigating social pressure around eating + lifestyle choices
- Making conscious choices around indulgence without guilt
- Asking for help
- Finding peace with being “different” in social settings
We also talk about some of our favorite wellness tools and supportive products for winter, including:
- Our go-to blue-light-blocking glasses
- Infrared and full-spectrum light support
- Water structuring devices + Blue Bottle Love + Herbal teas
- Stocking stuffer ideas + our favorite small businesses
- Wellness-focused gift ideas that truly support the body
This episode is all about sovereignty, simplicity, nourishment, and staying grounded in a season that often pulls us out of ourselves. Our hope is that it gives you permission to make choices that feel aligned to enjoy the holiday season with more ease, joy, and self-connection. Wishing you a gentle, nourishing, beautiful holiday season.
