Unleashed and Unstoppable Holiday Burnout to Holiday Connection: Reclaiming Presence, Joy, and Worthiness
Some holiday seasons feel light and sparkly… and others feel like emotional Jenga, one wobble away from toppling the whole tower.
If that resonates, you’re in the right place. This episode is your grounding place, a reminder that the holidays don’t need you to perform, perfect, or push. They’re inviting you to connect.
Today, Carol and Alex unwrap the real gift of the season: connection, with the people you love, with your community, and most importantly, with yourself. Whether you’re surrounded by family or celebrating quietly, this conversation helps you lean into presence rather than pressure, intention rather than hustle.
If you’ve found yourself feeling lonely, overstimulated, guilty, overwhelmed, or just a little out of sync with the holiday spirit, this episode gently guides you back to what matters most… starting with remembering that you matter.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why meaningful connection starts with being rather than doing
- How self-approval fuels deeper relationships (and prevents burnout)
- Simple ways to feel connected even if family is far away
- How to interrupt loneliness or isolation with micro-moments of outreach
- Creative ways to build connection with kids by meeting them at their level
- Heart-opening questions you can ask during gatherings to spark meaningful conversations
- The neuroscience behind connection, energy, and why you matter more than you realize
- How to set boundaries and protect your emotional well-being during a full season
- Why leaders (yes, you) play a powerful role in shaping the emotional tone of a room
- Practical ways to create joy and presence no matter what your holiday looks like
This episode is a soft landing place, a reminder that you don’t need to earn your worth, fix everything, or hold the season together. You simply get to show up as you are, breathe, and receive connection in big and small ways.
✨ Let this be your permission slip:
You matter. You are worthy. You deserve joy, presence, and love—today and every day.
Whether you're listening on Christmas Day or catching up afterward, we hope this conversation fills your cup and brings warmth to your heart.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and sending you so much love and connection.
