310: Managing Holiday Expectations, New Year Pressure, & Comparison

For those feeling mixed feelings around this time of year, for those feeling heavy and overwhelmed going into the new year, for those feeling the pressure to "do more"...this episode is for you. You made it through this year. Whether it was a wonderful year or a really difficult one where you felt like you were simply surviving, I'm so glad you're here.

In this solo episode, I talk about how anxious and/or intrusive thoughts may intensify around this time of year, as we face constant messages going into the new year to "hustle," change, and be "put together." I share my personal thoughts and experiences with my own mental health, and hope to remind you all that you're not alone...to lean into self-compassion even when your default may be self-criticism.

Whatever your holiday season looks like, I hope you take care of you.

As a reminder, we'll be taking a break from the podcast for the rest of the year/holiday season and will return the first full week of January. See you all next year :)
