The holidays often bring equal parts joy and exhaustion. Between school programs, family gatherings, and the endless to-do lists, it’s easy to feel like you’re giving everything you have...but still falling short of the calm and connection you crave.
In this episode, psychotherapist and best-selling author Niro Feliciano shares three practical takeaways from her new book All Is Calm-ish: How to Feel Less Frantic and More Festive During the Holidays. She offers gentle, research-backed tools to help you care for yourself and your family without burning out in the process.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
🎄 The surprising way to set the tone for your home for a calmer, happier holiday
🎄 The 5-word boundary phrase every mom needs in her back pocket
🎄 A two-minute mental reset for when the holidays feel like too much
This conversation is your invitation to create a holiday that’s not perfect—but calm-ish, connected, and true to what matters most.
