In this episode, we cover Holiday. The conversation opens with: Good morning, or whenever this reaches you. If you're listening on the first quiet morning after your loss, or if that morning still lives clearly in your memory, I appreciate you being here. Pressing play on a topic like this asks something real from you. It means you're willing to turn toward the stillness instead of away from it, and that choice matters more than it might feel right now. Listen for the key context, practical takeaways, and the most important points to carry forward.What You'll Learn:• Core context for Holiday• Practical steps you can use today• How stress shows up in the body during this pattern• What to watch for when intensity rises• One takeaway to practice after listeningKey Insights:• Small actions compound over time• Body cues matter as much as thoughts• Support and pacing reduce overwhelmRecommended Resources:• The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk• grounding exercises• somatic experiencing📩 Have questions or want to share your experience?
