I’m so grateful to be included in Real Simple’s newest article on staying grounded through the holiday season.
In the piece I open up about the personal practices and clinical tools that have become absolute non-negotiables for me every November and December, from 3-second somatic resets to the boundary scripts that have saved more than one family gathering.
You can read the full article here:
These strategies aren’t just ideas I teach; they’re the ones I’ve refined over years of working with clients who dread this time of year… and from living it myself.
If the article speaks to you, I’d love to keep the conversation going together in my upcoming group:

We’ll practice the exact tools from the article (and more), tailored to whatever this season is bringing up for you.
There are just a couple of spots left. Add your name to the interest list today and let me know your early-December availability:

Here’s to a holiday season that feels a little less heavy and a lot more human!
