Why do the holidays turn you into a version of yourself you thought you'd already outgrown?

If you've ever walked into your childhood home (or had family walk into yours) and instantly slipped back into Good Girl / Peacemaker / Fixer mode… this episode is your permission slip and your roadmap out.

Imagine if:
You could walk into the holidays without abandoning yourself.
You could say no without spiraling into guilt.
You could feel emotionally safe — even when family isn't.

In this episode, we dive into why your inner child runs the show during the holidays and what to do when old survival patterns hijack your body.

Inside, we cover:
✔️ Why your nervous system doesn't know your age — and how childhood memories get reactivated
✔️ The invisible "costumes" you still wear around family and how to take them off
✔️ What silent boundaries are… and why they're costing you your self-trust
✔️ How to revisit a moment later and speak up without blowing up the relationship
✔️ How to start healing the original injury so you stop recreating the same dynamics in adulthood

You do not have to shrink to stay safe this holiday season. You get to create a version of the holidays that feels grounded, supportive, and emotionally clean.

If the holidays bring out a version of you that feels nothing like the woman you've worked so hard to become — the girl who says yes when she means no, who smiles through discomfort, who spirals the second she gets home — this episode is going to hit home in the best way.

Because this isn't a "you need better boundaries" problem.

This is a nervous system safety problem.

Imagine walking into your childhood home and every part of your body quietly slipping back into old roles you never consciously chose: the agreeable one, the peacekeeper, the girl who shrinks so no one else gets upset.

What if instead…

You could walk into the holidays without the guilt, saying "I'm fine" when you're not, without the emotional hangover — and finally feel safe enough to speak your truth.

In this episode, I'm breaking down why saying "no" to your parents feels almost impossible, what's REALLY happening inside your body, and how to reclaim your voice this holiday season.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✔️ Why your body still reacts like a kid around your parents — even when your mind doesn't
✔️ The real reason saying "no" feels terrifying (hint: it's about safety, not willpower)
✔️ How to "unhook" from old family roles so you stop fawning and start choosing YOU
✔️ What to say after a family comment that didn't feel good
✔️ How to protect your energy without blowing up the relationship
✔️ Why boundaries aren't about pushing people away — they're about protecting who you're becoming

If your stomach drops when your mom's name lights up your phone…

You're not dramatic. You're not cold.

You were conditioned.

The hardest part of growing up with an emotionally immature or narcissistic parent isn't just the relationship itself — it's the guilt, the fawning, the panic that shows up every time you try to speak your truth.

In this episode, I share my story of healing from that kind of love — the kind that came with strings, control, and silence — and how those patterns follow you into your marriage, your parenting, and your nervous system.

You'll learn how to:

• Recognize the subtle signs you were raised to please, not to feel

• Understand why guilt shows up when you try to set boundaries

• Stop mistaking anxiety for love

• Reparent the part of you still trying to be "good enough"
  
  Speak your truth — even when it shakes
  
  

You don't have to burn it all down.

But you do have to stop abandoning yourself to keep the peace.
