Feeling off-center, overwhelmed or disconnected lately?

In this episode, I talk about why spending time in nature, even just five or ten minutes can help calm your nervous system and bring you back to yourself. I share a personal story about how nature reshaped my relationship with stress and why it still plays a critical role in regulation today.

You’ll learn:

• Why nature helps reduce stress and anxiety
• How simple outdoor time supports nervous system regulation
• An easy grounding practice for people who don’t meditate

If life feels like too much right now, this episode is your reminder to step outside and let your body remember it’s safe.

The holidays have a way of exposing the chaos we’ve been pretending isn’t there. The decorations, the expectations, the closets we avoid opening… it all piles up until the joy gets buried under anxiety.

In this episode, we’re talking clutter, traditions, mental load, emotional weight, and why your home is basically a mirror for whatever season you’re in right now.

If your house feels overwhelming or the museum of other people's expectations and you’re craving a simpler, more intentional way to exist in your own space… this one’s for you. No guilt. No performative holiday perfection. Just honesty, clarity, and real choices that lighten your life instead of loading it up.

Holiday gifting doesn’t have to feel like a full-contact sport. This week, we’re breaking down the pressure to find the “perfect gift” and swapping it for something way better: simple, meaningful, intentional giving that actually feels good.

We’ll talk about why the season ramps up our stress, how we get caught in the cycle of buying out of obligation, and what really matters when you’re choosing gifts for the people you care about. You’ll walk away with a calmer mindset, a clearer plan, and permission to keep things easy this year.

If you want a holiday season with less pressure and more joy, this episode is your sign to slow down, breathe, and choose differently. Let’s make gifting feel good again.
