About this episode
🎧 Episode Description (Deep, SEO-Driven, Vulnerable) The holidays aren’t easy for everyone — and it’s time we start saying that out loud. For many people, this season brings emotional triggers, family tension, old wounds, grief, loneliness, pressure, overstimulation, and expectations that feel heavier than the joy they’re supposed to create. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not feeling festive, overwhelmed by family dynamics, or stretched thin trying to “keep the peace,” this episode is for you. In Episode 89, we’re having an honest conversation about holiday boundaries — not to disconnect from people, but to protect your energy, your mental health, and your healing. Inside this episode, we dive into: • Why the holidays can feel triggering, heavy, or lonely • How grief, loss, and complicated family dynamics intensify this season • Emotional boundaries vs. avoidance • Making the holidays supportive instead of draining • Navigating comparison, sadness, and internal pressure • Giving yourself permission to show up honestly — not perform happiness You don’t need to abandon yourself to survive the season. You’re allowed to protect your peace without apology. 🎧 Listen now on Apple, Spotify & YouTube. 💬 If this episode helps you, please subscribe + leave a review — it truly supports the show. 👥 Join IMPACT Society free community: https://bit.ly/IMPACTSocietyCommunity 📘 My Book: The Badass Blueprint — https://bit.ly/Badassblueprint 📲 Connect on Instagram: http://instagram.com/ginamariefit
