Hello friends… in this conversation, I share my experiences with frustration, emotional intelligence, and the challenges of hosting during the holiday season. I talk about the importance of self-care, managing anxiety, and setting personal goals, especially for neurodivergent individuals.
I’ve been wandering through my own inner weather lately—frustration tucked under one arm, emotional intelligence under the other, trying to host life (and the holidays!) with as much grace as a human can muster. You know how it goes… some days you’re the glowing hearth, and some days you’re the smoke alarm. I’ve been a bit of both.
And threaded through all of it is this deep knowing: we’re not meant to do any of this alone. Community matters. Support matters. Understanding our own emotions, naming them, befriending them, letting them sit beside us instead of on top of us. It matters so much when life gets loud.
So, however, you’re moving through this season, whether you’re hosting, hiding, celebrating, or simply pausing… I’m wishing you gentleness, clarity, and a little pocket of peace you can keep just for yourself. May there be warmth. May there be rest. May there be a moment where you feel held—by your people, by your practices, by your own brave heart.
