In this reflective year-end episode, we navigate the often stressful holiday season with a revolutionary framework: the 70/30 Holiday Homeostasis. Instead of the rigid 80/20 rule or an all-or-nothing mindset, we explore a compassionate, flexible approach to finding balance during the festivities.

We begin by honoring where you are right now, acknowledging the weight and growth of 2025. This episode is a call to appreciate your current life stage—with all its unique challenges and beauty—as the foundation for a peaceful season.

You’ll learn how to create your own "Homeostasis Map," identifying your 70% (the nourishing anchors that support you) and your 30% (the guilt-free joys you intentionally savor). We then bridge this present-moment practice to your future vision, using your 2026 goals and your "30 Things" lists not as January chores, but as lighthouses to guide your choices now.

Through a second powerful exercise, "The Kind Bridge," you'll discover how to take tiny, actionable steps during the holidays that align you with the person you want to become.

This is a detox for the mind—a guide to forgiving yourself, trusting yourself, and loving yourself through the celebrations. Leave feeling equipped to enjoy the pie and the walk, the family noise and your own quiet, with a new sense of grace and self-compassion.
