The Calm & Bright Holiday Podcast Trail

A 6-Podcast Holiday Series on Finding Fun & Calm

The holidays can be magical… and overwhelming.
 So instead of adding another thing to your to-do list, we created something different.

Welcome to The Calm & Bright Podcast Trail — a collaborative mini-series featuring Five podcast hosts sharing short, soul-nourishing episodes on how to find more fun, calm, and presence during the holiday season.

Each episode lives on a different podcast, creating a gentle listening journey you can follow at your own pace. Think of it as a cozy holiday trail — one step, one voice, one breath at a time.

✨ How It Works

• Five hosts
• Six short mini-episodes
• One shared intention: calm doesn’t cancel joy — it creates space for it

You’ll start here on Inner Spark, and at the end of each episode, you’ll be invited to head to the next podcast to continue the trail. Follow all six or simply listen to the ones your heart needs most.

Hey friend. Welcome back. I am Casey Taton. Welcome to the Calm and Bright Holiday podcast Chill episode. Today I have four other beautiful souls with me. We know the holidays can sometimes feel a little overwhelming or a lot overwhelming. We wanna make this the most memorable season for you over the next six days. We will guide you through this by sharing ways to calm your nervous system. Have some fun. While still maintaining your boundaries as we gave you tools, like a ritual, and finish it up by really coming home to yourself this holiday. Each day you'll be guided to a different podcast by the four other beautiful ladies I have with me. We are gonna introduce ourselves so you can follow along with us each day. Hi, I am Kelly TiViTz and I host the Live A Vibrant Life podcast. I'll be sharing on December 20th about how I've learned through different coaching tools, how to regulate and find safety in a season that can feel overwhelming and busy. I think one of the best gifts we give ourselves during the holiday season is to find our path to calm. And then fun is going to land. So we're gonna talk about breath work and grounding and just slowing down. Maybe you need a bath every night like I do. Whatever practice is going to work for you, find a way to make it work for you. Maybe you're gonna pause in a parking lot or step out and go to the bathroom for a few minutes, but once you feel a little more settled, I'd love for you to come back and listen to our next friend share. Hello, my name is Jacqueline Van Berk. I am the host of Hi Gypsy Rebel podcast. It's all about risk takers, rule breakers, and people that live the Nazi conventional lifestyle. And what we wanna talk about just having fun and taking the pressure off. What about you making your presence the present? How about that and not worry so much about what you're gifting somebody because your presence is the gift and also having more fun. Maybe we talk about singing, dancing, just releasing a little bit and having just in general a good time and taking that pressure off. And I'm gonna be leading you to a powerful mindset shift. Head to Inner Spark Podcast with your host, Casey Tate. Hi, I am Casey Taton, host of Enter Spark podcast. And I'm gonna be guiding you through how to set healthy boundaries and stay aligned this holiday season. Also, giving yourself the permission to say no, the big no, when things don't feel aligned with you. I'm Christine Marcario, host of Aligned and Abundant. My episode will be dropping on Tuesday, December 23rd, and I am going to be talking to you about rituals that can help anchor everything you've learned so far on this podcast trail, I'm going to be sharing some simple daily and holiday rituals, allowing you the expansiveness to create pockets of peace and encourage you to be present over performing. And I am Linda Brand with the Worthy and Abundant Podcast, and you'll be listening to my episode on December 24th, and it's going to be bringing you back to you, your authentic self, knowing that you are worthy, you are worthy of all of your desires. You are allowed to enjoy this holiday. Season and this holiday season is about joy. So that's what it should be about, not anything other than joy and family and friends, and that is what we will be wrapping up this trail with. We hope you join along with us each day on all these beautiful podcasts to make this the best holiday season ever. Tomorrow you can tune in to Kelly Tibbits On Live A Vibrant Life to get your nervous system ready. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Happy holidays.
