Show Notes

Family can be complicated. Especially around the holidays. In this episode, Cecelia shares what it’s like when family feels hard, and what to do when old patterns, unspoken expectations, or childhood roles sneak back in. You’ll learn why the nervous system reacts to family stress, how to regulate in real time, and what it really means to show up grounded and connected to yourself. Whether it’s judgment, tension, or just too much togetherness, this episode offers a different way to experience the holidays, one that puts your peace first.
