If Thanksgiving brings you as much stress as it does stuffing, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing how you can enjoy a calm, meaningful Thanksgiving—even when family dynamics get a little chaotic. I tell some of my own Hallmark-style childhood Thanksgiving memories, and then we get real about what the holiday feels like as an adult when expectations, old patterns, and tension show up right alongside the turkey.

I walk you through the mindset tools I use myself, and that I teach as a life coach, to help you stay grounded, confident, and grateful—no matter what’s happening around the table. You’ll hear how choosing your energy ahead of time, setting emotional boundaries, and recognizing when you’re “full” (mentally and socially!) can completely change your holiday experience.

If you’ve ever found yourself dreading political debates, bracing for comments about your life, or feeling overwhelmed by the noise and expectations, I’ve got you. You really can enjoy the holiday without absorbing everyone else’s stress.

My hope is that this episode helps you create a Thanksgiving that feels peaceful, warm, and maybe even a little magical again—whatever “magical” looks like for you. And yes, I absolutely hope you get an extra scoop of cranberry sauce in my honor.
