Hi sweet Vortex fam! Today we’re feeling funky about the holidays and thought you might be too. As we get older, more sensitive, more spiritual, more AWAKE, (and in Elle’s case, more sober), the holidays sure do have a way of stirring up some sh*t.
In this episode, we discuss how this season is charged up with intense nostalgia, triggers, and magic all at the same time. We take a good hard look at…
• our cultural scripts of “New Year, new me,” New Years resolutions, “This is our year!” and the pressure they put on us
• Diet culture extremes activating hardcore and strange rhetoric like “work it off” and “January reset” coming at us from the beauty and fitness industries
• Workout culture at this time of year
• The fact that change and reframe are ALWAYS available, not just on January 1st
• The concept of Christ Consciousness, what it means, and how we can infuse it into our holidays no matter what religious background or version of spirituality we ascribe to
• Honoring the erasure of Indigenous trauma and genocide in our white spin on the Thanksgiving story
