Ep 19 - Holiday Stress, Mindfulness & Protecting Your Peace
Manage episode 523278478 series 3680127
In this week’s episode, Gina kicks us off with an energy update that’s nothing short of electric. The vibes are high, the momentum is strong, and the universe has a surprise waiting for you — an announcement, an opportunity, or a bit of unexpected magic. Your mantra this week? “I expect miracles.”
From there, we dive into a conversation that so many of us need right now: holiday stress, boundaries, and how to stay grounded during one of the most emotionally charged seasons of the year.
Between decorating, cooking, family expectations, gift giving, budgeting, and end-of-year deadlines, the holidays can feel like a marathon with no finish line. And according to research, women in particular carry the heaviest emotional, mental, and logistical load this time of year. No wonder stress skyrockets.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Kim and Gina unpack:
🎄 Why holiday overwhelm happens — and why so many of us fall into people-pleasing, over-committing, and perfectionism this time of year.
🎄 How to reclaim peace by saying “no” more often — without guilt and without explanation.
🎄 The family rules, boundaries, and traditions that changed Kim’s holidays forever (including the one-house-per-holiday rule!)
🎄 Mindfulness tools to keep you grounded, from the “one-moment reset” to conscious transitions before walking into a room full of big personalities and bigger emotions.
🎄 The three-breath nervous-system reset that can prevent spiraling, conflict, or emotional overload — especially around family members who push your buttons.
🎄 How to navigate difficult conversations (or avoid them entirely) without losing your cool or abandoning your values.
🎄 Why your nervous system mirrors the people around you, and how to set the intention to be “the calmest energy in the room.”
🎄 Shopping and preparation tips that eliminate unnecessary overwhelm — especially if you’re a highly sensitive or easily overstimulated person.
🎄 Ways to simplify gifting, reduce pressure, and create meaning without overextending your time, energy, or budget.
🎄 How to create a “Holiday Vision” — your personal filter for deciding what to say yes to, what to say no to, and how you want the season to feel.
🎄 A powerful post-holiday energy cleanse to release other people’s emotions, expectations, and energetic residue so you can reset and recharge.
This episode is a blend of practical advice, nervous system wisdom, spiritual grounding practices, and heartfelt personal stories that will help you create a holiday season rooted in intention, presence, peace, and joy — not obligation or burnout.
If you want the holidays to feel magical (not manic), nourishing (not draining), and mindful (not overwhelming), this is the episode you need.
Tune in and give yourself permission to create a holiday season that actually feels good — for you, your energy, and your family. ✨🎁
