• the peacekeeper

• the one who “makes the magic happen”

But you are not obligated to abandon yourself to keep everyone else comfortable.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✨ Why holiday dynamics trigger overgiving and burnout
✨ The 4 Holiday Boundary Archetypes (you’ll recognize yourself immediately)
✨ Scripts to protect your energy — without guilt
✨ How to stay in your feminine instead of collapsing into old patterns
✨ A powerful 5-Second Feminine Reset to use before ANY holiday gathering
✨ How to avoid the biggest feminine leak: over-explaining your boundaries
✨ Your “Holiday Feminine Armor” to keep your energy clean and sovereign
✨ The aftercare rituals that help you recover from family gatherings

This episode is your permission slip to move through this season with grace, groundedness, and feminine power — instead of stress, resentment, and emotional overload.

If you’re ready to stop overgiving and start honoring yourself… start here.
Your nervous system will thank you.
