Ep. 225 Finding Presence in the Holiday Season

The holiday season often arrives with full calendars, rising expectations, and a quiet undercurrent of stress. In this episode, we explore why we tend to become busier and more overwhelmed during the holidays—and why slowing down is essential for our nervous system, emotional well-being, and overall sense of joy. This conversation is an invitation to step out of urgency, release perfectionism, and reconnect with presence so you can actually enjoy the season as it unfolds. In This Episode, We Explore: Why the holidays can push us into overdrive and stress How constant busyness disconnects us from the present moment The nervous system’s role in holiday overwhelm The difference between doing mode and being mode Why slowing down allows us to receive more joy and connection Simple ways to cultivate presence during a busy season Letting go of perfection and unrealistic expectations How small pauses can create deeper meaning and peace Key Takeaways: The holidays aren’t meant to be rushed through or managed perfectly—they’re meant to be experienced. When we slow down, soften our bodies, and come back into the present moment, we create space for true connection, gratitude, and joy. Presence—not productivity—is where the magic of the season lives. Reflection Questions: Where am I rushing through this season without noticing it? What would it feel like to choose presence over perfection? What truly matters to me during the holidays? How can I create small moments of pause each day? Gentle Invitation: As you move through this season, allow yourself to breathe, soften, and savor.
