The holiday season can bring joy, warmth...and stress—especially for empaths, highly sensitive people (HSPs), and anyone who feels responsible for keeping the peace in family gatherings. In this episode, we dive into practical strategies to help you reclaim your mental and physical well-being this season by setting healthy boundaries with your family.

If you often feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or find yourself playing the role of "family fixer," this episode is for you. We’ll guide you through understanding why family interactions can be so triggering, especially around the holidays, and how unresolved past experiences may resurface. You’ll gain insights on how to set boundaries that allow you to prioritize your needs, let go of guilt and shame, and break free from people-pleasing patterns—without feeling like you’re letting anyone down.

Give yourself the gift of peace this holiday season. This episode will empower you with the permission and tools to prioritize your well-being and honor your own needs.
