The holidays don’t just remind you who’s at your table...
They remind you who isn’t.

When you’re divorced, that quiet has a sound.
It’s the clink of one mug instead of two.
The solo grocery run.
The ache of seeing everyone else’s “perfect” family photos.
And the part no one talks about?
Your nervous system feels all of it long before your mind catches up.

In this episode, Dawn, Joy, and Tiff walk you through why holiday grief hits differently... not just emotionally, but neurologically.
Your brain codes the holidays as both comfort and threat, and that dual-wiring explains so much of the confusion, anxiety, tight chest, and “I don’t belong anywhere” thoughts that tend to surface this time of year.

And today, we’re going to help you work with all of it.

In this episode:

Why holiday grief feels louder in your body
— the neuroscience behind scents, memories, and tradition triggering loss and longing

The real reason divorced women feel like they “don’t belong anywhere”
— and how this actually traces back to belonging to yourself

The phrase to repeat at any holiday party when your chest tightens
“I am safe to be seen in this moment.”

A 60-second bathroom-stall nervous system reset
Cold-water wrists, humming, squats, breath work — your new somatic toolkit for holiday overwhelm

How to turn this season from performance into personal power
(New traditions, choosing yourself, claiming authenticity, and ditching the performative holiday mask)

Why your circle shifts after divorce
— and why that shift is actually a sign of growth, not failure

This episode is a warm hand on your back, reminding you that nothing about your holiday pain means you’re behind, broken, or unlovable. It means your nervous system still remembers love — and is learning how to feel safe again without him.

This week’s Thursday Premium episode is a guided, real-time grounding practice for the exact moment your nervous system spirals — in the grocery store aisle, the car, or the corner of the holiday party.
