The holidays bring up everything... nostalgia, grief, joy, overwhelm, and the inner child expecting “the most magical Christmas ever.” I’ve had my own complicated history with this season (yes, I once wrote a very choice word Christmas song for those who are not loving the holiday season 😅 https://youtu.be/90FdyjmTkSg?si=fipB8K5ZBXej3D8U).

So I’m sharing the tools and mindsets that have helped me navigate December as a sensitive, neurodivergent human:

✨ giving yourself transition time

✨ grounding mantras

✨ choosing what really matters

✨ saying “no” with love

✨ therapy when needed

✨ giving yourself permission to be human

✨ book recommendations

My holiday intention this year:

“May I meet the season with openness, ease, and joy.”
