The Holidays may come wrapped in glitter and expectations, but for many of us, they also bring stress, pressure, complicated family dynamics, and situations we'd honestly rather avoid. In this episode, we're talking about how to navigate the season with more ease, more grounding, and far more self-compassion. You'll learn practical ways to protect your peace, honor your boundaries, and move through the holidays with grace — even when things feel anything but graceful.

Feeling stuck, unmotivated, or unable to move forward — even though you want to?

In this episode, we break down why getting stuck is a completely normal part of healing after a toxic or emotionally draining relationship… and the five tiny steps that help you rebuild momentum without overwhelm.

You'll learn how micro-shifts, pattern interrupts, future-self anchoring, and 5-minute promises can gently pull you out of the fog and back into forward motion.

This is your reminder: you're not failing — you're recalibrating. And small steps count. ❤️💜

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Quiet your inner critic
• Be consistent!
• Who do you want to become?
• Use evidence of past successes to motivate you out of the "stuck"
• Do something simple for momentum

Don't look back – you're not going that way. –Mary Engelbreit
